Namrata Shirodkar, born on 22 January 1972, turned 45 years today and the actress is getting wonderful messages on her birthday. However, the fans down south are going gaga over the adorable post shared by her husband and superstar Mahesh Babu. Just like any other doting husband, the handsome actor posted a family snap and wrote a beautiful birthday wish for the Bollywood diva. The message read, " One more reason to tell you how special you are!Happy Birthday to my love, my best friend, my wife." You will also see their children Gautham and Sitara in the frame.

Namrata Shirodkar was seen in many Bollywood films including Vaastav, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Pukar. Her light- eyes and a mole on her chin always made her stand out from the mainstream actresses, despite she choosing only few off beat roles.  Her glamorous avatar in 'Sunta Hai Mera Khuda' from Pukar is still fresh in our minds. Also, how can we forget her innocent lover character from Salman Khan starrer Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai?

Namrata has been away from Bollywood since long but she makes sure to be social for her fans. If you stalk her Instagram profile, you will instantly know that she is a family person and loves to go on adventurous trips. Her kids and the snaps of the outings rule her profile.

Meanwhile, Tollywood icon Mahesh Babu who married Namrata in 2005, is shining like a sirius star on the work front. After his last hit flick- Spyder, he will be now seen in Bharat Ane Nanu. The film will hit the screens on April 27. Interestingly, Bollywood diva Kiara Advani will be making her Tollywood debut through this much- talked about film. Mahesh will play a role of  Chief Minister in Bharat Ane Nanu.
