Have you heard of the big party in New York once the IIFA awards is wrapped up? We’re talking about Shahid Kapoor’s bash for his darling daughter Misha. While the tiny tot turns one on August 26, the actor is all set to kick off her birthday celebrations a month in advance in the US. Shahid has already jetted off to New York with wife Mira and Misha for the awards gala, where he is toplining an act.

An insider present in New York informs, “It was a surprise for everyone when Mira and Misha were seen accompanying Shahid to the awards show. With the gruelling schedule of Padmavati, he hasn’t been able to spend much time with his family. So, Shahid decided to make a holiday out of this work trip.”

The source adds that while the actor will be busy with rehearsals till his big act on July 15, it will be strictly family time for him, post the gala. “Shahid will host a party kickstarting the celebrations of Misha’s first birthday.”

We hear, it will be an intimate affair with close friends in attendance. “From the film fraternity, Shahid has invited Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt [Shahid’s co-star from Shaandaar] for the do. Shahid will also spend the next few days showing Mira and Misha around,” adds the source.
