Ajay Devgn took to social media today to mark the 82nd birthday of veteran actress Tanuja, sharing a rare and tender family moment that’s winning hearts online. Posting a picture of Tanuja with her daughter Kajol, Devgn captioned it with affection: “Happy birthday mom… No matter what I give you, it can’t beat the best gift you have given me.” A beautiful nod to his wife, actress Kajol, and a touching tribute to his mother-in-law.
The post immediately struck a chord with fans, not just for its emotional depth but also for offering a rare glimpse into one of Bollywood’s most iconic film families — the Mukherjee-Samarth legacy. Tanuja, born on September 23, 1943, is known for her unforgettable performances in classics like Chhabili and Haathi Mere Saathi, and remains a respected figure in the industry, both for her talent and grace.
Seeing her celebrated by Devgn, who is often known for his stoic screen persona, adds an extra layer of warmth to the occasion. The image, simple yet intimate, reflects the deep-rooted bonds in a family that has entertained generations — and continues to do so.
While the internet melted over this sweet gesture, Ajay Devgn remains fully booked on the professional front. The actor is juggling multiple big-ticket projects including De De Pyaar De 2, the much-awaited Dhamaal 4, and his action-packed venture Ranger. But clearly, he made time for what matters most — family.
Tanuja’s legacy lives on not just through her iconic roles, but also through her daughters Kajol and Tanisha, and now, through the respect and admiration of her extended family — both in Bollywood and at home.
