New Delhi, December 09, 2025: Legendary actress Sharmila Tagore, a timeless figure of Indian cinema, recently celebrated her 81st birthday in Delhi, surrounded by her beloved family. The intimate, heartwarming celebration was attended by her children, Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan, as well as her granddaughter, Sara Ali Khan, making it a beautiful display of family love and togetherness.

A Cozy Birthday Brunch

The private gathering was kept wonderfully cozy, with pictures shared by Soha and Sara on social media offering fans a delightful glimpse into the festivities. The images painted a picture of a relaxed birthday brunch, complete with plenty of cake, bright smiles, and what appeared to be long, loving conversations.

Both Saif Ali Khan and his daughter, Sara, flew into Delhi to ensure they were by Sharmila Tagore’s side on her special day, underlining the strong bonds within the Pataudi family. The setting looked festive, with some photos showing the family posing against a vibrant, Christmassy backdrop.

Sweet Social Media Tributes

The younger generation took to social media to share their love for the veteran actress.

• Sara Ali Khan penned a particularly sweet message for her grandmother, whom she affectionately calls “Badi Amma.” Sharing a lovely picture with her, Sara wrote, “Happiest birthday to the Chanda and Suraj of our family. Love you beyond words Badi Amma.” The touching caption highlighted the central and cherished role Sharmila Tagore plays in their lives.
• Soha Ali Khan shared a series of lovely photos from the brunch, captioning her post, “My amma on her birthday,” and adding a note that she missed her sister, Saba Pataudi, who was unable to attend. A particularly sweet detail revealed in Soha’s updates was a handmade card for her grandmother, seemingly prepared by Soha’s daughter, Inaaya.
• Though absent from the Delhi celebration, Kareena Kapoor Khan (Sharmila Tagore’s daughter-in-law) also posted a warm tribute online. She shared a set of sweet family photos, including some featuring Sharmila with her youngest grandson, Jeh, wishing her a “Happy birthday, dearest mother-in-law.”

An Enduring Legacy

Sharmila Tagore’s birthday celebration comes after her much-appreciated return to acting. After establishing herself as a formidable talent in both Bengali cinema, starting with Satyajit Ray’s acclaimed work, and Bollywood classics like Aradhana and Amar Prem, she recently made a compelling acting comeback. She was seen in the 2023 family drama Gulmohar and the 2025 Bengali film Puratawn, proving her enduring grace and acting prowess remain undiminished.

The intimate Delhi celebration was a true testament to the family’s deep-rooted affection for their matriarch, honoring not just a legendary actress, but the loving “Amma” and “Badi Amma” who is the heart of the Pataudi clan.
