She went on to describe Kalina’s adventurous and curious nature, crediting her for inspiring the family to step outside their routine. “You are the most amazing young lady – from dragging us to every restaurant worth eating at, to discovering the coolest hangouts. Thank you for pulling us out of our comfort zone and gifting us a treasure trove of memories.”
Naidoo closed the tribute with a tender message, expressing her appreciation for the bond they share: “I am grateful for our chats and the honest moments we have and share. Love always, Mum, Dad & Sai.”

Birthday wishes and European adventures
Kalina’s birthday celebrations began long before the big day. The Reddy family recently enjoyed an idyllic European getaway, travelling with Celebrity Cruises. Naidoo documented the trip with a series of vlogs, giving fans a glimpse into their luxurious holiday.
The family explored some of Europe’s most iconic landmarks, including the ancient ruins of Pompeii, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and cultural hotspots across Paris and Rome.
Kalina also received a wave of birthday wishes from Naidoo’s fellow Real Housewives of Durban cast members and friends. Jojo Robinson, Nonku Williams and Resh Naidoo were among those who commented warmly on Sorisha’s post.
As Kalina enters her mid-teens, it’s clear she remains a much-loved and inspiring presence in the Reddy household.
