Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 07, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Kiran Rao! May your day be as epic and unforgettable as the cricket match in "Lagaan"—though hopefully with fewer taxes involved. Your visionary storytelling has given us cinematic gems that continue to inspire laughter, tears, and spontaneous dance numbers.

From bringing rural India alive on screen to championing meaningful cinema behind the scenes, you've bowled audiences over time after time. Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity brighter than Bollywood lights—and may all life's challenges vanish quicker than British wickets did against Bhuvan's team!

Cheers to more blockbuster moments ahead; keep directing magic into our lives!
