BOMBAY TIMES (December 28, 2016)

Salman Khan celebrated his 51st birthday in typical Khan-daani style. A bash was organised at his Panvel farmhouse on Monday night with family and friends in attendance. Rumoured ladylove Iulia Vantur was seen mingling with the guests.

By midnight, the farmhouse was brimming with friends from the industry. Kabir Khan and Mini Mathur, who had skipped three of Salman's family bashes, made it to this one. While Boney Kapoor walked in without son Arjun Kapoor, who is shooting in London, Pulkit Samrat spent a few hours under the same roof as his estranged wife Shweta Rohira.

Sajid Nadiadwala and wife Wardha, Remo D'Souza, Bina Kak and Sushant Singh Rajput were among the other guests. As the cake was cut at midnight, Salman's nephew Ahil too joined him for the ceremony.

At 9 pm on Monday, film makers Sajid Nadiadwala, Boney Kapoor, Anees Bazmee, Kabir Khan (with wife Mini Mathur) and Remo D'Souza, along with politician-businessman Baba Siddiqui, singers-musicians Himesh Reshammiya, Armaan Malik, Palash Muchhal and some Bollywood actors began pouring into Salman Khan's Panvel farmhouse, Arpita Farms, to ring in his 51st birthday. The bungalow and the pool-side was lit up and the daawat was set. Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma, who brought in their son Ahil's first Christmas bash on Sunday with a customised cake from celebrity chef Pooja Dhingra, placed an order for another cake. It was 10 different flavours, with a lining of macaroons and a chocolate crust and the 'Being Human' emblem on top. Sallu cut into it with a butcher's knife and Ahil blew out the candles. His Romanian actress-singer girlfriend, Iulia Vantur, recorded the moment while 'Naagin' Mouni Roy was the selfie queen, clicking pics with casting director Mukesh Chhabra and Amar Butala, the CEO of Salman Khan Productions.

Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu danced the night away with Deanne and Chikki Panday. Rahul Dev stuck with girlfriend Mugdha Ghodse. And bachelor boys Randeep Hooda, Sooraj Pancholi and Sushant Singh Rajput preferred to chat up Bhai though Sushant did plant kisses on co-star Kiara Advani.

Preity Zinta beamed and Govinda joked, “Jab flirt karo tab mujhe duaaon main yaad rakhna, Partner!“ Pulkit Samrat, the ex of Sallu's rakhi sister, Shweta Rohira, made a surprise appearance to put an end to rumours of a fallout.

The party went on till 6am. The last men standing were the Khan brothers - Arbaaz, Sohail and Sallu. His return gift for guests was a designer gold chain with a large pendant. The collectible is a special edition piece from his jewellery line.

The selfies continued in the morning with Daisy Shah posing with the birthday boy. Family friend Beena Kak, and Atul and Alvira Agnihotri's children, Alizeh and Ayaan, also entered the frame. His mobile app ­ Being in Touch ­ went live on Tuesday, and millions of fans logged in to be welcomed. Outside his Bandra residence, over 1000 fans had gathered to sing “Happy birthday dear bhai! and a langar was hosted on the street.

MID-DAY (December 28, 2016)

Salman Khan brought in his 51st birthday on Monday night amid family and friends at his Panvel farmhouse. The star’s mother, Salma, and rumoured girlfriend, Iulia Vantur, were by his side, when he cut a cake that spelt out his charity foundation, Being Human. The star also launched his signature jewellery line on his big day.

Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D’Souza was spotted making merry at the bash, adding credence to the buzz that Salman is slated to star in his next. The guests included Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Shweta Rohira (Salman’s rakhi sister), and Sushant Singh Rajput. The oh-so-generous Sallu even gifted several guests some Being Human jewellery as return gift. Bips didn’t waste time in flaunting the pendant on social media.
