Popular rapper Drake wished Bollywood’s emerging actress, Athiya Shetty on her 26th birthday with a rather cheesy comment on Instagram. The God’s Plan singer is often seen commenting and liking the Nawabzaade star’s posts on Instagram leading to speculation whether the two share a closer relationship than friendship.

Athiya shared a photo of herself cutting a cake and wearing a birthday cap which she captioned: “This one was extra special and happy indeed. Thank you for all the love, wishes, and blessings. I truly feel so tremendously grateful and special. To my main people, I love you. You know who you are. PS: 26, be kind.”

The photo quickly became viral as the In My Feelings singer commented on it wishing the Mubarakan actress a happy birthday and calling her a “a true goddess”. “Happy birthday to my SHETTY a true goddess!!!! Guess who’s watching Mubarakan 3 times on the tour bus in your honour.”
