The 'Dhurandhar' fame singer recalled how Sonu Nigam smiled and told her that she was the first person ever to cut his birthday cake, making the celebration a memorable one for her. Taking to Instagram, Afsana Khan shared a video featuring herself and her husband Saajz celebrating Sonu Nigam's birthday inside a vanity van. In the clip, the couple was seen cutting the cake with the singer, and Afsana also fed a piece of cake to Sonu Nigam during the celebration.
Khan also shared a heartfelt note for Sonu, recalling a special birthday moment she shared with him on the sets of their project Bhoomi 2026. In the caption, she revealed that she was invited to his birthday celebration. However, she could not attend the party as she was travelling to the UK.
Afsana Khan wrote, "Wishing a very belated Happy Birthday to the legendary Sonu Nigam Sir. Sir's birthday party is being held on the 9th, and I was honoured to receive an invitation. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend because I'm travelling to the UK.
"We are currently shooting for Bhoomi 2026. Yesterday was my shoot, and today was Sonu Sir's. During today's shoot, I had the privilege of celebrating his birthday by cutting a cake for him on the set."
"The happiest moment was when Sir smiled and said, "You are the first person who has ever cut my birthday cake." His words truly touched my heart. He enjoyed the cake, showered me with so much love and blessings, and made this memory unforgettable. I feel truly blessed and grateful to have received the love and blessings of such a legendary artist and a genuinely wonderful human being. Happy Birthday once again, Sonu Sir. Wishing you endless happiness, good health, success, and God's blessings always," she added.
Afsana Khan and Sonu Nigam have not collaborated on any major official commercial tracks so far. However, the two singers share a warm bond. In June, Sonu Nigam was seen performing live at Afsana Khan's star-studded birthday celebration.

Aww! This is so sweet. Sonu Nigam has been an inspiration for so many aspiring singers. Afsana is lucky to get such blessings from him. It's these small moments that make artists feel truly connected to each other. ❤️
Honestly, it's a bit odd that a legend like Sonu Nigam has never had someone cut his birthday cake before. But then again, artists live such busy lives that personal celebrations often take a backseat. It's nice that Afsana and her husband Saajz brought this joy to him on set. Wishing the team of Bhoomi 2026 all the best!
Sonu Nigam sir is a true gem of Indian music. His humility despite being such a big star is why he's so respected. Afsana deserves this beautiful moment with him. Great to see the upcoming singers getting love and guidance from legends. 🎶
This is what Bollywood should be about - mutual respect and warmth. Afsana's genuine appreciation for Sonu ji is refreshing. Also, nice to see her husband being part of this special celebration. Keep spreading the love! 🎂
Ye dil chhu gaya! ❤️ Sonu Nigam's statement "You are the first person who has ever cut my birthday cake" is so touching. It's amazing how these small gestures create lifelong memories. Afsana is truly blessed to receive his blessings. Wish I could hear Sonu ji sing live someday!
