Meanwhile, another lovely birthday greeting came from Siddhant Chaturvedi, who played MC Sher in Zoya Akhtar's film Gully Boy. Siddhant Chaturvedi also made an Oscar reference in his post and wrote: "She makes films. She breaks stereotypes. Though she doesn't party much, she isn't as serious as this makes her look. Sometimes I wonder what defines her better -The Films she chooses to make or the parties she decides to attend. Happy birthday to the real G." He added the hashtags #nextparty #OscarParty to his post.
