Hours ago, the Animal star came down to his Mumbai residence wearing sportswear to celebrate his birthday with the media and his enthusiastic fans. He cut a delicious-looking cake with ‘Raha Ke Papa’ written on it and fed everyone the dessert. Soon after, the actor made sure to meet and greet everyone present outside his residence and collected all the bouquets, gifts, and cards they brought for him.

Not just his fans, RK also received a lot of love from his family and friends. As the clock struck 12, Ranbir’s sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni shared a video showcasing all the lovely memories she shared with the Kapoor clan. She penned on it, “Happy bday to my not so chottu bro. love you soooooo much” with multiple red heart emojis to wish him well.

Sneha speaking about this opined, “Maybe we could have two wonderful entries from India. Fingers crossed, if it can go as an independent entry or something. And I’d be very, very happy to cheer for them, just as much as I would be happy to cheer for myself.” For the unversed, Laapataa Ladies also starred Ravi Kishan, Chhaya Kadam, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, and Satendra Soni in key roles.

The critically-acclaimed movie was backed by Aamir Khan Productions (AKP) who were successful in taking their 2001 film Lagaan to final nominations with a perfectly planned roadmap that included tons of promotions and vigorous campaigning. “Now over to the production to see how they want to go. But what better people than AKP to handle it? Because he’s seen the whole grind, and I think he’s wiser after having taken Lagaan there,” Sneha added further.

Sneha Desai is happy that in a work where people are accustomed to hailing complex narratives, audiences, and selection panels, both have chosen a rather simple and profound film like Laapataa Ladies.
