Chennai: National Award-winning actress Keerthy Suresh is celebrating her 33rd birthday today, and the internet is abuzz with wishes pouring in from fans, friends, and film industry colleagues. Among all the warm greetings, one that stood out came from her close friend and fellow actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, whose heartfelt message won over fans across social media.
Samantha’s touching birthday note
Samantha took to her Instagram Stories to share a monochrome collage of Keerthy Suresh, originally posted by Keerthy herself. Along with the picture, Samantha penned a sweet birthday wish that read:
“Happy Birthday to the loveliest Keerthy Suresh. I love you, my darling. Wishing you nothing but the very best in everything you do, now and always. Forever your biggest cheerleader.”
The note perfectly captured their warm bond — one that fans have adored for years. Both actresses have often shared glimpses of their friendship on social media, whether through birthday posts, behind-the-scenes pictures, or mutual appreciation for each other’s work.
Keerthy’s pre-birthday celebration
Ahead of her big day, Keerthy shared a carousel of goofy, candid pictures on Instagram, captioned “lil pre-birthday mood.” The series of photos reflected her playful personality and excitement, showing her in a relaxed and joyous mood. The post quickly went viral, with fans and industry colleagues showering her with early birthday love.
From Baby John to Akka — Keerthy’s evolving journey
Keerthy Suresh, who recently appeared alongside Varun Dhawan in the Hindi action thriller Baby John, has been exploring diverse roles across industries. The film, directed by Kalees and featuring Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, Sheeba Chaddha, and Rajpal Naurang Yadav, marked her Bollywood debut. Though the movie received a lukewarm response at the box office, Keerthy’s performance was appreciated for its sincerity and screen presence.
Speaking to Elle magazine earlier this year, Keerthy reflected on the kind of legacy she hopes to leave behind. “The legacy I hope to leave behind is of being an actor who took chances and evolved. I deliberately chose not to do more biopics after Mahanati because I want its impact to stand on its own,” she said. “I know that continuing to experiment and taking on roles that challenge me comes with a higher risk, but I would much rather do that than repeat the same kind of work.”
Upcoming project: Akka
Up next, Keerthy Suresh will be seen in the revenge thriller web series Akka, produced by Yash Raj Films. The show also stars Radhika Apte in a crucial role. The project, expected to premiere in early 2026, marks Keerthy’s entry into the digital space and promises an intense, character-driven narrative.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the first glimpse of Akka, with many predicting it could showcase a completely new side of Keerthy as an actor.
A bond that fans adore
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Keerthy Suresh’s friendship continues to be one of the most admired in South Indian cinema. Both actresses have carved unique identities — Samantha with her powerhouse performances in films like Yashoda and The Family Man 2, and Keerthy with her versatility across languages.
Their social media interactions often give fans a glimpse into their off-screen camaraderie — one rooted in admiration, positivity, and support. Samantha’s latest gesture once again highlighted their genuine connection and mutual respect.
Conclusion
As Keerthy Suresh turns 33, her journey from child actor to one of South India’s most respected performers stands as a testament to her dedication and artistic growth. With Samantha cheering her on and exciting projects on the horizon, the year ahead looks promising for the Mahanati star — both professionally and personally.
