Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor is celebrating his 40th birthday today, June 26, 2025. Wishes have been pouring in from fans and industry friends alike, with several celebrities, including Karan Johar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Bhumi Pednekar, sharing heartfelt posts on social media.
What made this birthday extra special was a surprise gesture from Arjun's ex-girlfriend, Malaika Arora. She took to Instagram Stories to share an unseen, candid boomerang video of the actor from their dating days. In the clip, Arjun is seen in a white shirt and black pants, looking cheerful. Malaika simply captioned it, "Happy Birthday," along with a white heart and champagne glasses emoji.
The post took fans by surprise, as the duo had maintained limited interaction on social media following their breakup. The video quickly went viral, with netizens gushing over the former couple and secretly rooting for a reconciliation. Others praised the maturity with which they've handled their post-breakup equation.
Later in the evening, Arjun stepped out to greet fans outside his residence and cut a beautiful chocolate cake with paparazzi.
