Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan, and Anusha Dandekar are all smiles as they celebrate birthday together: "Capri 9’on ki barsaat"

The Akhtar family celebrated a joyful birthday gathering on Wednesday night, with Farhan Akhtar, his cousin Farah Khan, and sister-in-law Anusha Dandekar marking their special day together. The celebration was filled with laughter and love, as Farhan shared a cute photo of the trio on social media.

In the picture, he is seen smiling with his eyes closed, dressed casually in a black t-shirt. To his left sits Farah Khan, who turned 60 on Thursday, wearing a navy blue kurti and also smiling with her eyes closed. Anusha Dandekar, dressed in a matching black outfit, smiling as she holds onto Farhan's arm. The table in front of them showcases three birthday cakes adorned with candles, as three of them share birthdays. He captioned the post “Capri 9’on ki barsaat.. happy birthday to my sister and sister-in-law .. love you both @farahkhankunder @anushadandekar”


Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar also joined in the festivities by posting the same picture on her Instagram account. She captioned it with “Bring It In ” and included playful hashtags like ‘Birthday babies,’ ‘All number 9,’ and ‘Capricornia,’ highlighting their shared zodiac sign. Zoya humorously quoted a famous line from Farhan's 2001 film 'Dil Chahta Hai,' saying, “Hum cake khane ke liye kahin bhi ja sakte hain” (We can go anywhere to eat cake), which reflects the family's fun close-knit bond and love for celebration.


In a delightful moment captured by Farah on her Instagram Reel, she presented Farhan with a birthday gift that brought back fond memories. The gift was a DVD of 'Kranti,' a classic film from 1981 directed by Manoj Kumar, which Farah noted is Farhan's favorite movie.


As he opened the gift, Farhan erupted in joy and began to sing the title track of 'Kranti,' showcasing his joy and enthusiasm. Farah captioned the video with a heartfelt message: “What do you gift your little brother who has everything?? A piece of our childhood of course! Happy birthday @faroutakhtar #capri9 keep the kranti going #favouritefilm.”


The warmth and affection displayed during this family gathering were palpable. Farah expressed on her Instagram story a gratitude to Zoya, Shibani Dandekar (Farhan's wife), and her aunt Honey Irani for making the celebration memorable.
