Mumbai, Oct 31 (NationPress) Ali Fazal shared a late birthday message for actress Kriti Kharbanda, who celebrated her 35th birthday on Wednesday. Ali posted a playful group photo featuring the 'Fukrey' cast, including Kriti's husband Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Varun Sharma, and Richa Chadda.

In his belated wish on Instagram, he humorously remarked, "Happy birthday dost - hum belaytaaaa yaani der kar dene waale nikamme doston mein se hain. But love is pure. @kriti.kharbanda." (Happy birthday friend - we are one of those useless friends who always delay things. But love is pure) (sic).

Although Ali and Kriti have yet to collaborate on a project, he has previously worked alongside her husband Pulkit in the popular 'Fukrey' series.

Meanwhile, Pulkit made Kriti's birthday memorable with a touching social media tribute.

He shared a series of romantic images from their beach escape, calling Kriti his "forever" and writing, "Somewhere between the salt on our skin and the sunset in your eyes, I found my forever! Happy birthday.. favourite view! @kriti.kharbanda" (sic).

The lead image showcased Pulkit and Kriti gazing into each other's eyes on the beach, followed by a shot of Kriti relaxing in a red monokini while Pulkit admired her. The birthday post included several affectionate pictures of the couple.

On a different note, Ali is currently immersed in filming the movie adaptation of his popular series “Mirzapur.” He will reprise his role as Guddu Pandit, sharing the screen with Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Rasika Dugal, among others.
