The celebratory posts, shared on Sunday (October 12, 2026), showcase the actress in a stylish look, holding a cake and striking elegant poses for the camera with the simple caption, "Birthday Girl." Apu's birthday festivities kicked off at midnight as Sunday's early hours began, marked by a warm celebration with her son, Abram Khan Joy, who presented her with a cake bearing the message, "Happy Birthday Mom. I love you." A day prior, she had shared an advance video message accompanied by the caption, "May this year be filled with more laughter, learning, and love." While the majority of fans flooded the comments section with birthday greetings and praise for her timeless elegance, the caption also sparked lighthearted debate among netizens, with some humorously suggesting she is a "lady" rather than a "girl," alongside discussions surrounding her stylish attire.
