Karan Singh Grover

On Thursday, Bipasha Basu turned 42. She missed hubby Karan Singh Grover, who is shooting for the web series, Qubool Hai 2.0, in Belgrade. She cut two cakes with Grover singing happy birthday via video conferencing.

Along with the video, Bipasha wrote a long note, which read, "Last year has been tough for the whole world and we were no exception to it. It's been tough but when you have true love of family, friends and blessed with millions of people who love you selflessly ... all you can do is bow your head down in gratitude and be brave to face anything with this power of love. I am truly a blessed person to have so much love and good wishes from all of you. My heartfelt wish on my birthday is for everyone's health and happiness. God bless us all."

Husband Karan Singh Grover shared a birthday wish for Bipasha on Instagram. "Even though being a goddess truly means that you are eternal and infinite in every way....there are two aspects of you that supersede all else...your beauty and your undying, undeniable, unmatched power to love limitlessly and unconditionally. You my goddess are the epitome of all that is unconditional love. This day was, is and always will be the most precious day of every year. Wish you a very very very happy birthday my babygirl! @bipashabasu. Thank you for being born and lighting up the lives of all you have touched. Thank you for making me the luckiest guy in the whole wide multiverse!" Karan wrote.

Fitness freak Bips indulges on her big day. She is known to never eat rice throughout the year except on her birthday. She gorges on pulao, biryani and kheer only once a year. Birthdays are special for the actor, so Bips breaks her diet rules on the day.

Bipasha's B-Town friends wished her, too. Social media feeds were filled with birthday wishes from Bollywood celebrities for their favourite Bips!
