Close friends Salman Khan and Preity Zinta bumped into each other at a celebrity cricket match in Ahmedabad on Saturday and were seen chatting and giggling away to glory. Being one of her BFFs, the superstar knew that the following day was the dimpled actress’ birthday and he decided to spring a surprise on her — an impromptu birthday party. Preity turned 41 yesterday.

Says a source, “Salman was in Ahmedabad as the brand ambassador of his brother Sohail Khan’s cricket team. They lost the match, but he made sure that Preity brought in her birthday in style. He quickly organised a private bash and they partied all night long.”

Bobby Deol, who celebrated his 49th birthday last week, was also at the party along with Kriti Sanon, Sangeeta Bijlani, Omkar Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Ritesh Deshmukh and Suniel Shetty. Preity also tweeted some pictures of the bash.
