Bhavna Limbachia, the actress previously known for her role as Rana Habeeb (formerly Nazir) in Coronation Street, recently celebrated her 40th birthday in a sophisticated turquoise dress.
Her former Corrie co-stars, including Catherine Tyldesley and Donna Preston, sent her warm birthday wishes.
In February, Bhavna revealed that she had a second wedding ceremony with her husband Darren Kuppan in Mauritius, six years after their first.
Bhavna’s departure from Coronation Street in 2019, when her character Rana was killed off on her wedding day to Kate Connor (Faye Brooks), sparked some criticism from the LGBTQ+ community. However, Bhavna defended the scenes, emphasizing that her decision was intended to portray the purity and truth of love, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, or religion.
She likened it to a modern-day Romeo and Juliet love story, but with a twist.
