Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Bollywood’s very own Nawab, Saif Ali Khan, turns 55 today, and his family has showered him with heartfelt wishes.
His wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, celebrated the occasion with a sweet post, honoring both her “darling” husband and the “lion” she sees in him. Sharing a picture of a lion in the wild, Bebo wrote on Instagram, “To Our Lion. Happy birthday, darling husband.”
Saif’s sister, Soha Ali Khan, also shared a touching memory while wishing her brother. She wrote, “There are some moments etched in your memory forever. This was 30 minutes before I was about to make one of the most momentous decisions of my life. You arrived early, and we shared papaya together. You have always given me sound advice, and it has stood me in good stead.”
She added, “I really don’t think there is anyone else like you, and I am fortunate to have you in my corner. The best years, as you keep reminding me, are yet to come—so here’s to a future that’s brilliant, bold, and bright. Now I must call you, since you’re not on Instagram and won’t read this!”
Their other sister, Saba Pataudi, posted a loving note recalling their shared memories. Sharing a black-and-white childhood photo, she wrote, “And gradually turning into the protective kind brother, a talented hardworking man, and father of four beautiful children, Mashallah. I couldn’t be MORE proud! So many special moments together—Eid, Diwali, birthdays, and more. Here’s wishing you a HAPPY, safe, and wonderful birthday! Hope to see you soon, with lots of love and luck, today and always.”
