The iconic and legendary actor turns 76 on Monday, Jul. 20, 2026.

Naseeruddin Shah is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director Naseeruddin Shah (The Dirty Picture, Ishqiya, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Shah, a cultural icon

Born in Barabanki on July 20, 1950, Naseeruddin Shah's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Indian history. Shah's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Naseeruddin hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Naseeruddin Shah as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Naseeruddin, you're the best!
