Mumbai, Dec 23
Actress Neelam Kothari Soni’s daughter Ahana Soni turned 13, and the proud mother shared a heartfelt note for her.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared two pictures from the intimate birthday celebration of her daughter Ahana.
She wrote: “And just like that my baby girl turns 13. Mama loves you too much. Wishing you happiness always.”
Neelam married actor Samir Soni in 2011. In 2013, they adopted a daughter and named her Ahana.
Neelam made her debut with the film Jawaani. She gained popularity from her role in Ilzaam opposite debutant Govinda. She made a very popular pairing with Govinda and they starred together in 14 movies.

In recent years, she has appeared alongside Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey and Seema Sajdeh in three seasons of the reality television series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives that streamed on Netflix.
After quitting films temporarily in 2001, she ventured into jewelry designing and started out commercially on her own under the name.
On the acting front, she was seen in the series Made In Heaven, which chronicles the lives of Tara and Karan, two wedding planners in Delhi running an agency named Made in Heaven.
Neelam was also seen in The Ba***ds of Bollywood as herself.

Neelam and Govinda were the ultimate 90s jodi! Love 86, Khudgarz... what classics. Good to see her happy in her personal life. Time flies, her daughter is already a teenager!
Respect for choosing adoption. In our society, there's still some stigma, but it's a noble act. More power to them. The birthday pics look lovely and simple, not over the top.
She's had such a diverse career - from 90s hits to jewelry designing to reality TV. It's nice to see actresses reinvent themselves. Happy birthday to Ahana!
The article is nice but feels like a long filmography list more than a birthday story. Could focus more on the family moment. Still, bless the child. May she have a great year ahead.
"Mama loves you too much" – that line got me! So sweet. As a mother, I can relate. Wishing Ahana all the success and joy. Neelam seems like a wonderful mom. ❤️
