Wishes poured in on social media from the Bollywood fraternity as superstar Katrina Kaif rang in her 38th birthday on Friday.

Veteran star Madhuri Dixit dug out a throwback picture from the time she and Katrina graced the ‘Jhalak Dikhla Ja’ dance reality show stage by performing together on one of Katrina`s iconic songs, `Chikni Chameli`.

Alongside the picture, she wrote, “Many happy returns of the day Katrina.

She shared an alluring monochrome picture of the `Race` star and wrote, “To the Most gorgeous superstar… Happy birthday Kat… Lots of love always from Saifu and me.”

May you be blessed with the best always. Love you.”Taking to her Instagram story, Malaika Arora also extended birthday wishes to Katrina by posting a stunning photo of hers.

Fellow celebrities, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Ananya Panday, Ishan Khatter and others also wished Katrina a happy birthday. The star who enjoys a massive fan following was also showered with love and wishes by her fans on social media.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics for her acting prowess, Katrina has established herself in Bollywood and is one of India`s highest-paid female actors.

She earned commercial success in Bollywood with the romantic comedies- `Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?` and `Namastey London`. Her highest-grossing films came with the spy thriller `Ek Tha Tiger` and its 2017 sequel and the action-thriller `Dhoom 3`, all of which rank among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

On the work front, Katrina has recently started the reading session for Sriram Raghavan`s next untitled film co-starring South-Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi. She is expected to begin the shoot after she completes `Tiger 3`. In addition to this, Katrina will be next seen in the highly anticipated `Sooryavanshi` and horror-comedy `Phone Bhoot` co-starring Ishan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
