Ranbir Kapoor Turns 43, Shares Birthday Highlights
Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor celebrated his 43rd birthday on September 28, and the occasion was filled with love, warmth, and surprises. Social media was flooded with heartfelt wishes from his fans and colleagues across the film industry, but it was Alia Bhatt’s adorable post that stole the spotlight. Sharing glimpses from the intimate birthday celebration, Alia revealed a handmade card created by their daughter Raha, which read, “Happy birthday best papa in the world.” Along with it, Alia penned a sweet note: “happy birthday our whole and soul.”
Ranbir later opened up about how Alia and Raha made his day even more memorable. In a heartwarming revelation, he shared that Raha had promised to give him 43 kisses to mark his age and surprised him with the cutest handmade card. According to him, this thoughtful gesture made it the “perfect birthday.”
What made the day even more special was Ranbir’s first-ever Instagram Live session, which delighted fans. Since the actor does not maintain a personal social media account, he connected with his audience through the official handle of his lifestyle brand ARKS. Interacting with fans, he described his day as relaxed and joyful, spent entirely with Alia and Raha, before signing on for the live session that felt like the “cherry on top.”
During the live, Ranbir also addressed one of the most asked questions—updates on the much-awaited sequel to Animal. Titled Animal Park, the film will be helmed once again by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Ranbir confirmed that the project is expected to begin in 2027. He teased that the upcoming installment will be “bigger, bolder, and more engaging” than the original Animal that was released in 2023.
The actor didn’t stop there. He also spoke briefly about his other upcoming projects. Among them is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, in which he stars alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Additionally, he is set to appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious Ramayana adaptation slated for release next year.
Ranbir’s 43rd birthday celebrations were not just about love from family and fans but also about giving back a special treat to his admirers through his live appearance and film updates. For his fans, the day felt like a celebration of his journey both as an actor and as a family man.
