Days after celebrating her birthday on June 9, Sonam Kapoor treated fans to a collection of photographs from the special occasion, offering a peek into the intimate gathering. Among the many moments shared online, a rare appearance by her younger son, Rudralokh, quickly became the highlight. The actor's Instagram post captured a relaxed birthday gathering attended by close family members and friends. The photographs showcased candid conversations, cheerful moments and a warm atmosphere away from the spotlight.
The guest list included Masaba Gupta, Arjun Kapoor, Mohit Marwah and Kunal Rawal. Joining them were family members Rhea Kapoor, Sunita Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, making it a close-knit celebration. Sonam's husband Anand Ahuja and their two sons, Vaayu and Rudralokh, were also part of the festivities.
Rudralokh Steals the Spotlight
While Sonam occasionally shares snippets of her family life, she has remained protective of her younger son's privacy. One of the pictures from the birthday album offered fans an adorable glimpse of Rudralokh, making it one of the most talked-about moments from the post.
Several photographs also showed Sonam embracing motherhood as she spent time with both Vaayu and Rudralokh during the celebrations. The gathering featured an elaborate spread of desserts, cakes and food for guests. The images reflected a casual and joyful mood, with Sonam spending quality time with friends and family rather than opting for a lavish public celebration. A number of photographs also captured affectionate moments between Sonam and Anand Ahuja as they posed together during the event.

Earlier, Sonam introduced her second son as Rudralokh Kapoor Ahuja and shared the meaning associated with his name. She explained that Rudra symbolises strength and transformation, while her elder son Vaayu's name is connected to life force and energy. The actress also revealed that Rudralokh was born on April 29.
