Bollywood’s Nawab, Saif Ali Khan, turned 55 today, with heartfelt wishes pouring in from family members, led by his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan and sisters Soha and Saba.
Kareena marked the occasion with a symbolic tribute, posting an image of a lion in the wild with the caption, “To Our Lion. Happy birthday, darling husband (sic).” The gesture beautifully captured her affectionate nod to Saif’s regal persona, both on and off screen.
Here’s the goofy post:
His sister, Soha Ali Khan, chose nostalgia to frame her birthday note. She recalled a poignant memory, writing, “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 (sic).”
Continuing her message, 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!”
Here’s her post:
Their sister, Saba Pataudi, also joined in the celebrations with a warm message, cherishing their bond: “Spending 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 (sic).”
Saif Ali Khan, who married Kareena in 2012, has been a fixture in Bollywood with a career spanning decades, from cult hits to contemporary successes. He was last seen in ‘Jewel Thief’ and is gearing up to reunite with Akshay Kumar after 17 years in the upcoming thriller ‘Haiwaan’.
