Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan celebrates his 55th birthday today, and as expected, warm wishes have been pouring in from fans and fellow celebrities. One of the most touching tributes came from his sister, Soha Ali Khan, who shared a heartfelt message on Instagram along with an unseen, candid photo from her 2015 wedding to actor Kunal Kemmu.
A Candid Brother-Sister Moment Before the Big Day
The nostalgic image captures a quiet moment between Saif and Soha just 30 minutes before she tied the knot. In the photo, Saif is seen talking to Soha, who is holding a plate of papaya while listening intently to her elder brother’s advice. The moment, Soha wrote, is forever etched in her memory.
“There are some moments that are etched in your memory forever. Definitive moments,” Soha wrote in her caption. “You arrived early and we got some time together over a plate of papaya. You have always given me good advice and I’ll just say it has stood me in good stead.”
A Heartfelt Note with a Touch of Humor
Soha’s caption also included a light-hearted note about Saif’s absence from social media. “I really don’t think there is anyone else like you and I am fortunate to have you in my corner,” she continued. “The best years, as you keep reminding me, are yet to come – so here is to the future – brilliant, bold and bright.”
She ended the post with a cheeky comment: “And now I must call you as you are not on Instagram and will not read this! (or are you ??).”
Fans Amused by the Social Media Speculation
Her humorous sign-off sparked playful reactions in the comments. Many fans speculated whether Saif is secretly on Instagram. “Petition to have him on Insta,” one fan wrote, while another joked, “He totally is on Instagram. You know that. We know that.” One comment hilariously pointed out Saif’s expression in the photo: “Is this the time to have papaya?”
What’s Next for Saif Ali Khan?
On the professional front, Saif was last seen in the Netflix film Jewel Thief. Prior to that, he played the antagonist in Jr NTR’s Devara: Part 1. The actor is now reuniting with Akshay Kumar after 17 years for ‘Haiwaan’, directed by Priyadarshan, marking a highly anticipated comeback for the iconic duo.
