Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor chose a low-key affair to mark his birthday this year, surrounded by close family and friends. The intimate celebration, held on December 25, was made memorable by the presence of his longtime friend and fellow actor, Anupam Kher.
A Joyful Gathering Captured on Instagram
Anupam Kher took to his Instagram handle to share a glimpse of the heartfelt festivities. The video he posted showed a joyous Anil Kapoor cutting his birthday cake as his wife, Sunita Kapoor, and Kher himself clapped and sang along. The setting appeared to be a private and quiet location, with a few other guests also in attendance.
In his caption, Kher described the moment, writing, "With the #BirthdayBoy and his Lady #SunitaKapoor. A quiet celebration at a quiet place! #HappyBirthdayKapoorSaab." The clip ended on a playful note, with Kher teasing Kapoor by calling him a "child actor," prompting Kapoor to affectionately feed him a piece of cake.
Heartfelt Birthday Wishes for a "Best Friend"
The birthday video was preceded by a touching social media tribute from Anupam Kher earlier on Wednesday. He posted a heartfelt message for his "best friend" and the "best anchor," expressing deep admiration and affection.
"Happy Birthday my dearest friend #KapoorSaab! May God give you all the happiness in the world," Kher wrote. He praised Kapoor as a great and caring friend, thanking him for his support both knowingly and unknowingly. Kher also lauded Kapoor's professional legacy, calling him "one of the finest actors of our times" who has relentlessly ruled the entertainment business, while being beautifully caring and mindful at heart.
A Friendship Forged in Film and Time
The bond between Anupam Kher and Anil Kapoor is well-known in Bollywood circles, with the two stars frequently showcasing their mutual support on social media. Their friendship extends beyond personal life into a successful professional partnership.
The duo has shared the screen in several popular films, including:
- 'Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain'
- 'Ram Lakhan'
- 'Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja'
- 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hain'
This latest birthday celebration serves as another testament to their enduring camaraderie, highlighting a special moment of joy and friendship away from the glitz and glamour of public events.
