Sofía Vergara has always been a social media dynamo. Over the years, she has shared many attention-grabbing posts, including the infamous Oscar seat revelation for Henry Cavill. However, her recent Instagram post has particularly caught the eye of followers from India due to her choice of song. Vergara shared a birthday post for her friend Marisol Gtz. de Pineres, featuring the song 'Happy B'Day' from a popular Bollywood movie.

The song is from the film ABCD 2, starring Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. For Indian fans, it was surprising to see Vergara, who is not from India and does not speak any Indian languages, use what can be perceived as the staple Bollywood birthday anthem of Indians. Despite these factors, her use of the song has drawn significant attention from Indian fans, with some expressing surprise and others celebrating the return of this popular, beloved tune.
