According to a source, "Farhan, who doesn't believe in elaborate celebrations for himself, has organised the entire event with his sister Zoya helping him. The duo has planned a brunch on the day."

Shabana says, "Some of us are going a day earlier and the rest of the family will join us on the 17th.

The brunch will last until 9pm. It's a beautiful place and we are all going to celebrate there."

Talking about the menu, she says, "The food is going to be Awadhi as Javed loves the cuisine. So expect everything ranging from biryani to kebabs, paaya and haleem to be part of the menu."
