How did Farhan Akhtar celebrate his birthday?

No sighting of Shibani Dandekar though...

Farhan Akhtar hosted a birthday party at his Bandra home on Wednesday, January 9, the day he turned 45.

The Birthday Boy lives with his mom Honey Irani and his sister Zoya Akhtar in the sea facing home, which is close to Mannat, where Shah Rukh Khan lives.

The legendary Rekha is Farhan's neighbour.

Riteish Siddhwani, Farhan's buddy from the Maneckji Cooper school, and now his business partner at Excel Entertainment.

Reema Kagti has directed all her films for Excel Entertainment.

How cute! Ranveer Singh rapped a birthday song for Farhan at the Gully Boy trailer launch.
