Sara Ali Khan's midnight birthday celebrations; From fam-jam to scary jumps - Watch

Today marks the 28th birthday of radiant and bubbly Sara Ali Khan. The day was brimming with joy as Sara, surrounded by her close-knit family and cherished friends, celebrated in the warm embrace of her loved ones.

The birthday festivities kicked off with an intimate cake-cutting ceremony held at her home. A delightful video shared by her friends captured a playful moment where Sara, while cutting the cake with her doting mother Amrita Singh and adoring brother Ibrahim Ali Khan, got an unexpected startle from the sparkling candles. This candid glimpse perfectly encapsulated the heartwarming essence of the celebration.

Adding a touch of magic to the affair, Sara's cake was adorned with colorful fireworks that mirrored the vibrant spirit of the birthday girl. Her friend's Instagram Story playfully mentioned, "Ye ladki kisi se bhi nahi darti" (this girl is scared of no one) - except, of course, her own birthday cake. It was a moment that encapsulated Sara's fearless and vivacious persona, even in the face of the unexpected.

In the virtual realm, wishes poured in from fellow stars. Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan's wife and Sara's stepmother, shared a heartwarming collage on her Instagram Stories. The collage featured two touching pictures: one, a nostalgic snapshot of young Sara cradled in the arms of her father Saif Ali Khan, and the other, a candid moment with Kareena and Saif's younger son, Jehangir Ali Khan. The heartfelt sticker that read "bday babe" was a testament to the bond they share and the affection they hold for Sara.

Sara's industry friend, Ananya Panday, also joined the chorus of well-wishers. On her Instagram Stories, Ananya posted a throwback picture of their joyful camaraderie, expressing, "Happy birthday partner. With you 'what you see is what you get,' and you always say it as it is - unapologetically you. My fave things about you. Stay mad Sara. Love you @saraalikhan95." Ananya's message reflected the authenticity and spirit that Sara brings to her relationships.

This year, she graced the silver screen with a diverse array of roles. In the suspense thriller 'Gaslight,' released on an OTT platform, and 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,' showcased in theatres, Sara showcased her versatility. Her chemistry with Vicky Kaushal in the latter was a standout, leaving audiences captivated.

Sara's future is equally promising. With four exciting films in her kitty, including the patriotic venture 'Ae Watan Mere Watan,' Anurag Basu's multi-starrer 'Metro... In Dino,' and Homi Adajania's intriguing 'Murder Mubarak,' her cinematic journey continues to scale new heights. Additionally, the anticipation for Jagan Shakti's untitled project adds to the excitement that the future holds for this young powerhouse of talent.
