Aftab Shivdasani pens heartfelt note as daughter Nevaeh turns 6: 'Heaven once smiled upon us'
Mumbai, August 7
Actor Aftab Shivdasani celebrated a special milestone as his daughter Nevaeh turned six.
Marking the occasion, the actor shared a heartwarming video featuring himself and wife Nin Dusanj as they celebrated their little one's birthday in style during a family getaway.
However, staying true to their long-standing protocol of protecting their daughter's privacy, the couple did not reveal Nevaeh's face even for a brief moment in the video.
Sharing the clip on his social media acount, Aftab wrote, "Happy 6th Birthday to our angel Nevaeh. Every birthday of yours is a gentle reminder that heaven once smiled upon us and sent us you. Here's to another year of discovering the world together and writing the most beautiful story as a family."
For the uninitiated, Aftab married British-Indian model Nin Dusanj in a private ceremony in 2014 after dating for a few years. The couple welcomed their daughter Nevaeh in 2020.
On the work front, Aftab Shivdasani made his acting debut as a child artist before rising to fame as a leading man in the late 1990s and early 2000s. With his charming looks and romantic roles in films like Mast, Kasoor, Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, Awara Paagal Deewana and Hungama, he earned the reputation of Bollywood's "chocolate boy" during that era, much before actor Shahid Kapoor, took over the tag.
The actor was last seen in Welcome to the Jungle, the latest installment in the popular Welcome franchise.
The movie also starred Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Kiran Kumar , Farida Jalal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandes, Disha Patani and others.

'Nevaeh' is 'Heaven' spelled backwards, and his caption about 'heaven smiling upon us' makes so much sense now! Such a thoughtful name choice and a beautiful message from a loving father. Aftab has always been a class act, both as an actor and now as a family man.
I remember Aftab watching his movies in my childhood, and now he is a dad to a 6-year-old! Time flies. His filmography was the best in the early 2000s. Hungama and Awara Paagal Deewana still crack me up. Wishing the entire family all the happiness!
It's really sweet that they keep their daughter's face hidden. Many Bollywood celebs show their kids a lot during birthdays, but this is a personal choice. Hats off to Aftab for respecting his daughter's privacy even at such a young age. Happy 6th birthday, Nevaeh! 🎉
So happy to see celebrities keeping their family life private and yet sharing enough for the fans. Aftab has been in the industry since he was a child, so he understands the pressure of being in the spotlight. Respect to them for balancing stardom and parenting.
I remember him being called the "chocolate boy" of Bollywood before Shahid Kapoor came along! How times change, and how beautiful it is that he's now a devoted family man. 💙 Wishing the little princess a day as special as her parents' love for her.
