“Happy Birthday Zayn Malik! A young, South-Asian boy from Bradford who can not only top @billboard charts but also belt out famous SRK dialogues on cue - what’s not to love about @zaynmalik? In the age of social media, where everyone wants to do everything - it’s refreshing to see a musician following the beat of his own drums. No late night show appearances, no TikTok trendy reels, no Grammy performances, no larger- than- life music videos - Zayn defying the music industry rules and yet managing to stay relevant just by his music is his ultimate star power. On his 32nd birthday, tap the in bio for an open love letter to our former ELLE cover star and the genderless crush across all households”
