Shanaya Kapoor turned a year older this week, and the celebration was nothing short of spectacular. The star-studded affair was filled with love, nostalgia, and a unique witch-themed twist that set social media ablaze. Her close friend Ananya Panday kicked off the festivities in the most adorable way possible, sporting a custom black T-shirt emblazoned with a vintage childhood photo of the birthday girl. Sharing a heartfelt selfie, Ananya captioned the post, “Say it’s your best friend’s birthday without saying it’s your best friend’s birthday,” before adding a sweet tribute, calling her the “love of my life” and affectionately referring to her as “Shanaya papaya.”
Kareena Kapoor Khan also took to her social media to send some love to the rising star. Sharing her warm wishes, Bebo wrote, “Happy birthday to the lovely girl Shanaya. Good luck for your new show, looks too good.” The excitement surrounding Shanaya’s professional life is reaching a fever pitch, as she gears up for her next big project, ‘Student of the Year: After Dark’, which is set to premiere on JioHotstar on November 13.
Khushi Kapoor provided a deeper look into the evening’s festivities, revealing a perfectly curated witch-themed party. The sisters embraced the spooky aesthetic, posing against dark, moody decorations while dressed in matching chic black outfits. Khushi even posed with a skull prop to lean into the theme, while the dinner table was elegantly set with candles, dark floral arrangements, and red roses. Sharing the atmospheric photos, Khushi captioned the post, “Witching hour HBD to my @shanayakapoor02.” Shanaya, who previously made her mark in ‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’ and was seen in the 2026 film ‘Tu Yaa Main’ alongside Adarsh Gourav, clearly had a birthday to remember.
