Karan Johar marked his 52nd birthday in style with an intimate gathering of close friends on Friday evening. Among the guests were industry stalwarts including Kajol, Anil Kapoor, and Farah Khan, who came together to honor the occasion.

Pictures capturing the arrivals of these celebrities circulated widely on social media, adding to the excitement of the event.

Renowned director-choreographer Farah Khan, known for her playful banter with Karan, made a memorable appearance at the party. Dressed elegantly in a black and blue ensemble, she greeted photographers with her trademark charm before joining the festivities. Kajol exuded sophistication in an off-white dress, while Anil Kapoor exuded classic style in a dapper black outfit, accompanied by his wife, Sunita Kapoor.

Amidst the birthday celebrations, Karan Johar eagerly anticipates the release of his upcoming production, 'Mr and Mrs Mahi', starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, slated for release on May 31. The filmmaker, known for his directorial prowess, made a successful return to the director's chair last year with 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani', featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, which emerged as a commercial triumph.
