It’s birthday party-time for Aditya Chopra

After a long-time secret courtship Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji are a just-married couple now. Now it’s time for some more party and celebrations in the Chopra house as Aditya has turned 43 today. As it’s the first birthday after marriage, it will be definitely a special one for the noted filmmaker-producer.

As reports have revealed Rani has planned a surprise birthday bash for her loving husband. She will host a private dinner which will see the presence of some very close friends from the industry. According to a source, "Rani is been planning surprise for Aditya since long, and has personally looked after every preparation from decoration to food and has made sure everything is of Adi's choice.” "Mrs Chopra wants to make Aditya’s birthday the most memorable birthday of his life and so the actress is leaving no stone unturned to make her hubby happy", the source added. It has been also learnt that Rani had a tough time in order to persuade Aditya for the dinner as he keeps avoiding socializing. Now we wonder what will Rani gift her adorable husband this birthday.

Aditya is considered as one of the best directors in the Hindi film industry though he has helmed only three movies till date, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Mohabbatein (2000), and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). The elder son of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra and Pamela Chopra, Aditya, started assisting his father at the age of 18 in directing his films like Chandni (1989), Lamhe (1991) and Darr (1993).

He separated from his first wife, childhood sweetheart Payal Khanna, in 2009 and last month on April 21 he married actress Rani Mukerji after a courtship of almost a decade.
