Another wrote, 'Sangeeta looks gorgeous and Meenakshi still looks beautiful at 61.' A fan commented, 'Oh my God, she looks so different.' Another said, 'Wow, Meenakshi is 61 years old? She doesn't look that old.' One user wrote, 'Meenakshi looks far better than some of the younger actors in today's generation.' Another simply said, 'The queen of the 90s.'
Sangeeta celebrated her 65th birthday in Mumbai, which was attended by Salman Khan among others. The superstar kept things laid-back and stylish, opting for a simple black T-shirt paired with denim jeans. Actor Arjun Bijlani, who was also present at the celebration, shared a picture in which Salman was all smiles as he posed with Sangeeta. Salman and Sangeeta dated years ago and had even planned to tie the knot before eventually parting ways.
