Aamir Khan hosted a lavish celebration for his mother, Zeenat Hussain, on her 90th birthday, which took place on June 13 at his Mumbai residence. Among the distinguished guests was his ‘Ishq’ co-star, Juhi Chawla, who shared a delightful photo from the event on her Instagram stories.
Dressed elegantly in white ethnic wear, Juhi Chawla looked stunning as she posed with Aamir and his sister, Farhat Datta. Aamir complemented the occasion in an off-white sherwani. Sharing her joy on social media, Juhi wrote, “So happy to meet all the family at Ammi’s special birthday!”
The celebration was a grand affair, with over 200 family members and friends flown in from various cities, including Banaras, Bangalore, Lucknow, and Mysore, to honor Zeenat Hussain. A source close to Aamir revealed that the family had been planning this large gathering for a while, especially since his mother had been unwell for over a year but has now recovered and is doing well.
Aamir Khan shares a deep bond with his mother, often seeking her approval for his scripts and films. She plays a crucial role in both his personal and professional life. Aamir has always shown his affection and respect for his mother, fulfilling promises such as taking her to Mecca for the holy Haj pilgrimage.
In addition to the family festivities, Aamir is busy with his upcoming production, ‘Lahore 1947.’ Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film stars Sunny Deol in the lead role, with a supporting cast including Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Karan Deol, and Ali Fazal. This project marks a notable collaboration between Aamir and Sunny Deol, who have had iconic box-office clashes in the past with films like ‘Dil’ vs. ‘Ghayal’ in 1990 and ‘Lagaan’ vs. ‘Gadar’ in 2001.
Furthermore, ‘Lahore 1947’ reunites Aamir Khan with Rajkumar Santoshi, with whom he created the cult classic ‘Andaz Apna Apna.’ Fans are eagerly anticipating this new project, which promises to bring together a stellar cast and the magic of Aamir and Santoshi’s collaboration once again.
The birthday celebration for Zeenat Hussain was not only a heartfelt family gathering but also a reunion of Bollywood’s beloved stars, highlighting the deep connections and cherished moments that define their lives.
