Fashion mogul Manish Malhotra also joined the chorus of well-wishers, sharing a sweet note that read, “Dearest gorgeous. Happiest birthday. Lots of Love.”
Social media platforms were abuzz with nostalgic tributes, with fans hailing the former Miss World as the ultimate “face card” that never declines.
