Richa's friends and colleagues too wished her a "stupendous year" ahead and even congratulated her on her latest release "Fukrey Returns".

Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar, who produced Richa's latest release "Fukrey Returns", tweeted: "Happy birthday Richa Chadda. Onwards and upwards. Big hug.

Ayushmann Khurrana too tweeted: "Happy birthday Bholi Richa Chadda. Congrats for 'Fukrey'. Still have to catch the film.".

"'Fly' High! Big Hug," he added.

Richa made her Bollywood debut with "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!" in 2008. Her major breakthrough was in the film noir gangster saga "Gangs of Wasseypur".

She has also starred in "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela", "Masaan", "Sarbjit" and "Main Aur Charles".
