Having been a crucial starter pack to Smith’s acting journey and career transition from musical pursuits, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reached the zenith of the prime-time shows of the 90s. As a catalyst for many comic throwbacks, the show rests fresh in the audience’s memories for its comfort factor. Hence, even its frontrunner, Will Smith, decided to make use of this homeliness to wish his on-show partner Tatyana Ali her 45th birthday with an adorable video clip saying “Happy Birthday Tatch” on his Instagram story.

The clip is from the show itself from the stars’ formative years. Smith and Ali could be seen grooving in sync as the latter held Smith’s ears while doing the same. While one knows how often long-time togetherness can extend to the position of a second family, Smith’s resorting to those old memories attests that Ali goes way beyond the equations of fellow stardom. And thanks to Smith, now not only him but his fans can enjoy a piece of this lighthearted reflection.
