Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 6 (ANI): Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh turned 40, and wishes poured in from fans and celebrities alike.

The actor, who is not only known by fans for his powerful performances in films but also for his bold fashion, received heartfelt messages from his colleagues in the film industry.

Director Karan Johar shared a special note on Instagram to celebrate Singh's big day. Along with a series of stylish pictures of the actor, Johar wrote a poetic and emotional message. Calling Singh a 'buoyant spirit' and 'a comet streaking through the night,' Johar praised his presence and unique personality.

In his post, Johar wrote, 'Happy Birthday @ranveersingh. Buoyant spirit, blazing bright, A comet streaking through the night, In every step, a thunderous cheer, Ranveer walks, the world draws near.'

'A fashionista bold and grand, Silken suits and sequins stand, A canvas dressed in dreams and flair, Each outfit roars, 'He doesn't care!' Yet deeper still, this man unfolds, A heart of gold within he holds, A larger-than-life, flamboyant flame, But kind and warm beyond the fame. His laughter rolls like summer skies, A mimic's art behind his eyes, A thousand voices, shades, and ways, His acting leaves us in a daze,' he added.
