A Bobby Deol fan from Pakistan received a reply from the Bollywood star himself on January 25, after she sent out a tweet looking to tell him that she celebrates his birthday every year.

Manal Faheem Khan, a Twitter user had asked Twitterati to help her wish the star on his big day.

“Twitter, I require your help,” she posted on the microblogging site along with a picture of herself holding a cake with an image of Deol printed on it.

Khan said that she celebrates the actor’s birthday each year on January 27 but this year she wanted to let him know that a “random girl” in Pakistan “marks the calendar on the 27th of January every year.”

Khan had asked and Twitter helped deliver. By retweeting her and mentioning Deol in their tweets, Khan’s followers successfully attracted the stars attention.

“Thank you so much for your love and always being there for me … ever so great ful! Wishing you the best in life… God bless you!” responded Deol.

While most people were optimistic that they’d get a reply from Deol. One person had thought otherwise.

This wasn’t the first time Khan had connected with the Bollywood star. “There’s a friend of mine who’s a journalist and writes for many different magazines. He was at a red-carpet event, which Bobby Deol was also attending. My friend took out his phone and asked him to give me a shout out. This happened a couple years ago,” Khan told Aaj News.

Explaining why she celebrates Deol’s birthday every year, Khan said it all started as a joke in 2017. “I would prank all my friends on Bobby Deol’s birthday, and I would randomly message people and pretend that I was busy. If anybody asked me why, I would say oh it’s Bobby’s birthday, and they would go ‘who’s Bobby’ and as a punch line I would say it’s Bobby Deol’s birthday,” she said.

“It caught on so much that my friends would tag me in all things Bobby Deol, his songs, his memes , so much so that I eventually started to become fond of him,” added Khan. “It was all fun and games and then it snowballed into this whole Bobby Deol fan moment.”

What Khan fails to understand is the hate she’s receiving for celebrating Bobby Deol’s birthday. “I don’t understand why people are giving me hate for being his fan, people are making fun of it like why Bobby Deol of all people but like why not?” she said.

Khan tweeted the perfect reply for all the trolls.
