Television actor Nakuul Mehta, who makes girls go weak in the knees, turns 36 today (January 17, 2019). While his admirers are celebrating his birthday, lots of good wishes and love are pouring in for the blue-eyed birthday boy. Nakuul, who has been winning hearts with his portrayal of Shivaansh Singh Oberoi (Shivaay and Anika's son) in Star Plus' much celebrated show Ishqbaaz: Pyaar Ki Dhinchak Kahani, enjoys a huge fan following on social media and we don't even wonder why! Nakuul Mehta Opens Up About #MeToo Movement, Says ‘It Is Time for Men to Introspect’

Some of Nakuul's fans even call him the doppelganger of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan. And what justifies this comparison is Nakuul's voice and dialogue delivery, that reminds us of Bollywood's Duggu. But the actor's got more to his personality than just good looks. He is not only a great actor but very smart, witty, intelligent and so on... well you'll fall short of adjectives to  describe him. Nakuul is also one of those actors, who is not afraid to call a spade a spade and has stood up for various social causes on numerous occasions.

And on Nakuul's 36th birthday, let’s take a look at some of his best Instagram pictures while reading some unknown facts about the blue-eyed boy.

To the Student Who Asked Why He Earned a ‘C’ on an Essay about Love by Clint Margrave Because love has its own grammar, its own sentences, some that run-on too long, others just fragments. It uses a language not always appropriate or too informal, and often lacks clarity. Love is punctuated all wrong, changes tenses abruptly, relies heavily on the first person, can be redundant, awkward, full of unnecessary repetition. Every word is compounded. Every phrase, transitional. Love doesn’t always know the difference between lie and lay, its introductions sometimes lack a well-developed thesis, its claims go unfounded, its ad-hominem attacks call in question its authority. With a style that’s inconsistent, a voice either too critical or too passive, love is a rough draft in constant need of revision, whose conclusion rarely gives any sense of closure, or reveals the lingering possibilities of a topic that always expects high praise, and more often than not fails to be anything but average.

# Nakuul Mehta is a trained dancer. The actor has received training in many dance forms including Salsa, Hip Hop and Jazz. He also learnt a special dance form Bachata for wife Jankee, so as to surprise her on Valentine's Day. Now you know, why is it so hard to keep our eyes off Nakuul when there's a video of him shaking a leg on social media.

# If Nakuul's character of an 'angry young man' in Ishqbaaz makes you assume that he may have similar traits in real life, that's just his brilliant craft. The actor is a happy-go-lucky man as soon as the director says ‘cut’.
