Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar is ringing in his special day today, January 9th, and his close ones are ensuring he feels extra loved and celebrated. Farhan’s sisters, Zoya Akhtar, took to Instagram to share their affectionate birthday wishes for the star.
Zoya shared a delightful snapshot from a midnight family get-together, where Farhan, Farah, and Anusha Dandekar can be seen smiling together before cutting their birthday cakes. The adorable photo perfectly captures the warmth of the moment, as the trio prepares to celebrate their shared birthdays — Anusha also celebrates her birthday on January 9th.
Zoya’s caption added to the fun: "Bring It In #birthdaybabies #allnumber9 #capricornia @faroutakhtar @farahkhankunder @anushadandekar #threescompany #humcakekhanekeliyekahinbhijasaktehain," which translates to "We can’t send cakes to each other, but we sure can have a great time!"
The love and camaraderie between the Akhtar siblings and their close friends were evident in the post, making Farhan’s birthday even more special.
On the professional front, Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for an exciting new project. He will be headlining ‘120 Bahadur’, an epic war film set against the backdrop of the 1962 Indo-China war. Slated for release on November 21, 2025, the film is a tribute to Major Shaitan Singh Bhati PVC and the brave soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment. Farhan will portray the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati PVC, whose heroic actions during the Battle of Rezang La have become legendary.
With such a powerful role lined up, Farhan is certainly making 2025 a year to remember, both in his personal life and professional journey.
