Outlander star Sam Heughan wished his on-screen love interest a happy birthday as he posted a throwback snap to mark the occasion. Sam and Priyanka Chopra worked alongside each other on 2023 rom-com movie Love Again, and the pair sparked a close bond off-screen.
In the flick, Priyanka stars as Mira, a woman who is grieving the loss of her fiancé and attempting to move on with her life. In an attempt to feel closer to her late partner, she decides to send text messages to his phone.
However, the number has been reassigned to journalist Rob Burns, played by Heughan, and he receives them and makes it his mission to find her in real life.
Priyanka, who turned 41 on Tuesday, July 18, was wearing a grey and red check jacket in the snap, an outfit from the film which later appeared in the movie's poster.
Next to the picture of the pair hugging, Sam wrote: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the wonderful, talented @priyankachopra!!”
Priyanka, who married Nick Jonas in 2018, was showered with messages of love and well-wishes to mark her birthday. The messages were led by Nick, who also appears in Love Again, as he declared he “loved celebrating her” in an Instagram post of his own.
Prior to her birthday celebrations, the couple enjoyed some family time at Wimbledon, joining A-list friends in the Royal Box for the final.
Love Again marked the start of a major career year for the actress, who also led Amazon Prime Video’s $200million action-drama, Citadel. Priyanka starred alongside Richard Madden in the spy-thriller, with the pair having to piece together their past after having their memories wiped.
She is currently slated to appear in five new projects, including blockbuster Heads Of State, starring alongside Idris Elba, Jack Quaid, John Cena and Paddy
