Sanya Malhotra responded to Ananya’s wish by re-sharing it on her Instagram Stories along with the message, “@ananyapanday you cutie! Thank you,” and added heart emojis.

Umesh Bist, who worked with Sanya on his directorial Pagglait, also wished the actor by sharing a picture from last year’s filming session. On Instagram stories, he wrote, “Happy birthday Sanya – our Dear Pagglait.” Sanya and Umesh can be seen smiling for the camera in the photo. Filmmaker Ekta Kapoor, who co-produced the movie, re-shared Umesh’s post writing, “Happy b’day @sanyamalhotra.”

Sanya celebrated her birthday on the same day as the release of her latest film Love Hostel, a romantic thriller on Zee5, which also stars Vikrant Massey and Bobby Deol. The actor previously told Mid-Day that she is very excited about the coincidence as it feels like a “gift from the universe”. “Basically (it’s a gift) from Red Chillies, Shankar Sir (director Shankar Raman) and Drishyam (Drishyam Films), that they are releasing it on my birthday,” she had said.
