While I appreciate their talent, sometimes I feel the media coverage for celebrity birthdays is a bit excessive. There are so many important issues in the country. That said, they are both fantastic artists who have given us great entertainment.

Farah Khan's movies are the ultimate comfort watch for my family. Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om are festival staples at our home! And who can forget Farhan's voice in 'Senorita'? Wishing them both health and happiness. 🎈
