When one of the most loved directors of Bollywood turns a year older, it calls for a party. Farah Khan, who turns 53 today, is hosting an intimate birthday dinner at her Andheri apartment this evening. Turns out, the do is at the behest of Khan's long-standing friend Anil Kapoor. While the choreographer-director was in the mood for a quiet birthday with family, it was Kapoor who told her that no birthday is complete without a big bash.

Says a source close to Khan, "Farah and Anil go back a long way, and fondly call each other Papaji. She had wanted to have a birthday lunch with Anil, but he good-naturedly refused and insisted on her hosting a soiree."

Khan has drawn up a guest list of 70 of her close friends, both from Bollywood and outside of it. No prizes for guessing that her besties Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Sajid Khan, Tabu, Huma Qureshi, Kapoor and wife Sunita have been invited. Also featuring on the list are her childhood friends from Nehru Nagar in Juhu, where she used to live.

The source says, "Farah has told everyone that it will be an early dinner, not a party that will go on till wee hours of the morning. On the menu is Farah's home-cooked food, including her famous mutton yakhni pulao." Khan kicked off the celebrations last night with Malaika Arora Khan and Kaajal Anand.
