The 'West Side Story' actress shared a series of pictures on her Instagram account, counting over 2.5 million followers, for her special day.

Interestingly, the production of 'Snow White' was marred by numerous controversies, primarily racial backlash over Zegler's casting as Snow White. Critics accused Disney of focusing on "wokeness" instead of staying faithful to the original character's portrayal. To make matters worse, Zegler's critique of the film's outdated portrayal of passive romance and her pro-Palestine statements were seen as major contributing factors to the film's underperformance at the box office. Additionally, reports suggest that executives partially blamed the film's poor performance on Zegler's political stances.
Despite these challenges, Zegler continues to captivate audiences with her unshaken spirit and poise, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, one can rise and shine.
