The Akhtar household was abuzz with celebrations as choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan and actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar marked their birthdays together, joined by their extended family. Farah, who turned 60, made Farhan’s 51st birthday extra special by gifting him a nostalgic piece of their shared childhood.

Farah Khan gifts Farhan Akhtar a piece of childhood

Farah took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video of Farhan opening his birthday present, which included vintage vinyls of old films such as the 1981 classic Kranti. In the clip, Farhan unwraps the gift, bursts into laughter, and begins singing the title track of Kranti. Farah humorously quips, “These are all vintage. My god, he’s going to sing the whole song.”

Farhan’s wife, Shibani Dandekar, and sister Zoya Akhtar are seen giggling in the background.

Sharing the video, Farah captioned it: “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.”

Triple Birthday Celebration

The celebrations didn’t stop there. Zoya Akhtar shared a delightful photo on Instagram featuring Farhan, Farah, and Farhan’s sister-in-law Anusha Dandekar, who also celebrated her birthday. The trio, all born on January 9, posed with three birthday cakes. Farhan, dressed in a black t-shirt, sat in the middle, flanked by Farah in a navy blue kurti and Anusha twinning in black.

Zoya captioned the picture: “Bring It In ❤️ #BirthdayBabies #AllNumber9 #Capricornia #ThreesCompany #HumCakeKhaneKeLiyeKahinBhiJaSakteHain,” referencing Farhan’s iconic dialogue from his cult classic Dil Chahta Hai.
