Choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan gifted multi-hyphenate Farhan Akhtar, whom she tagged as her "little brother", a piece of their childhood.
Farah took to her Instagram, where she shared a video of Farhan opening presents given by the "Main Hoon Na" maker on his 51st birthday. The presents included vintage vinyls of old films such as "Kranti".
The video begins with Farah saying: "Farhan's 51st birthday present."
After Farhan opened the wraps, he laughed and then started singing the title track of "Kranti", which was released in 1981 and stars Manoj Kumar.
Farah is then seen asking him to see the others. However, Farhan doesn't stop singing, to which the choreographer hilariously heard saying: "These are all vintage. My god he's going to sing the whole song."
Farhan's wife Shibani Dandekar and his filmmaker sister Zoya are seen giggling as Farah filmed him while he was singing.
For the caption, she wrote: "What do gift ur little brother who has everything?? A piece of our childhood of course! Happy birthday @faroutakhtar #capri9 keep the kranti going #favouritefilm."
