"Happy birthday to the one person who showed me all the avatars of a woman," wrote Kajol in her birthday wish for mom, veteran actress Tanuja, who turned 77 on Wednesday. Kajol is the daughter of Tanuja and filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee. On her mom's birthday, Kajol shared a beautiful picture of herself and Tanuja and borrowed a line from singer Ellie Goulding's track Army. She wrote: "'When I'm with you, I'm standing with an army.' Happy birthday to the one person who showed me all the avatars of a woman. Warrior, wife, mother, sister, woman, human and spirit! Happy birthday momma. Love you so much. Am eternally grateful that you chose me for a daughter.... always and forever. #foreveryourbaby."
