Age isn't anything but a number; this saying is perhaps quite true for Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor, who turns 64 on Thursday.
The actor had a midnight celebration with the cast of his upcoming movie "Jug Jugg Jeeyo" including actors Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, debutante YouTube sensation Prajakta Koli and director Raj Mehta.
Happy birthday 🥳 @AnilKapoor. U are the youngest member of the #jugjuggjiyo family. The hardest worker in the room and the best at his craft 💙 pic.twitter.com/CFuTM4UO7M
