Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, recently celebrated her 26th birthday in the company of close friends and family. She took to social media to share glimpses of her celebration, which involved a game of Ted Lasso trivia, with the group passionately answering questions, laughing, cheering for each other, singing, and dancing, all dressed in matching jerseys. The happy bunch included Ira’s cousin and actor Imran Khan, who has been away from the public eye for several years now, her fiancé Nupur Shikhare, mother Reena Datta, cousin (and actress) Zayn Khan, Aamir Khan’s ex-wife Kiran Rao, actors Lekha Washington, Mithila Palkar, and Fatima Sana Shaikh.
Ted Lasso is an extremely popular comedy-drama that follows the story of an American college football coach hired to train an English team. Ira Khan’s post read, “You guys are my Ted Lasso, Coach Beard, Keeley, Rebecca, Higgins, Diamond Dogs, Jamie, Roy, DANNI, Sam, Isaac, RICHMOND. Yes, we had a Ted Lasso trivia. Yes, I won.” Actress-model Hazel Keech replied, “Lmao! What fun! Happy birthday lovely girl.” Zayn Khan wrote, “Haha, haha, what a party,” Nupur Shikhare said, “What an amazing party,” and Fatima Sana Shaikh replied with heart emojis.
Ira Khan also received a special birthday wish from her fiancé, Nupur Shikhare. He shared pictures on social media, which showed the two sitting together on a sofa, with big smiles on their faces as they looked towards the camera. In one of the pictures, Ira was seen planting a kiss on Nupur’s cheek, while they held each other. Zayn Khan also shared a special Instagram post for her cousin, saying, “I don’t know which stars to thank for everything that you are, Iru. How you became the big sister in this relationship… bas now. My turn. To take care of you, and be there – even when you don’t ask. I love you with all my heart, truly. Happy birthday, you beautiful, beautiful girl.”
Ira Khan made her directorial debut with a theatrical adaptation of Euripides’ Medea.
