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," Bipasha wrote 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.
