Actor Shilpa Shetty, who celebrates her 44th birthday on Saturday, was in for a surprise when husband Raj Kundra posted a special birthday message for her on Instagram. Calling Shilpa ‘God’s favourite angel’ and thanking her for inspiring everyone, Raj used the hastag ‘Girlfriend’ in the post.

Sharing a beautiful picture where he couple is holding hands and looking at the camera, Raj wrote an emotional note for Shilpa. “When I look back at our journey I just thank god for putting his favourite angel in my life. You are a blessing and I can’t express how much I love you @theshilpashetty wishing you a very happy happy birthday. May all your dreams and wishes come true my darling! You have proven that with a healthy and happy lifestyle age is just a number!! Thank you for inspiring us all 🙏 #Love #girlfriend #birthday #family #happiness #timeless #beauty”

Shilpa was overwhelmed with all the love coming her way. “Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thankyouuuuuu my jaan Love you,” she responded to the post.
