Meanwhile, Shilpa Shetty posted a video reflecting on her year, offering fans a glimpse into moments that didn’t make it to social media earlier. She wrote, “A few moments that never made it to the gram. Ending the year warm, happy and grateful for all I received, achieved and learned from the highs & lows. Here’s to making every moment count and stepping into the next chapter. Manifesting big, positive dreams. See you, 2026.”

Hrithik Roshan, too, marked the occasion by sharing pictures of the shadows of him and Saba Azad dancing together. Captioning the post, he wrote, “Caught some happy shadows dancing next to us. 2025 seems to be ending on a very merry note. Sending big love to all my fans out there. I especially dedicate the new year to you guys. Happy almost 2026, everyone.”
