Zoya Akhtar is celebrating her 52nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed directors of her generation.
Popular director Zoya Akhtar (You Don't Get Life a Second Time, Luck by Chance, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 52nd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Akhtar, a cultural icon
Born in Mumbai on January 9, 1974, Zoya Akhtar's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Indian history. Akhtar's not just a great director, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Zoya hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Zoya Akhtar as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 52.
Happy Birthday, Zoya, you're the best!
