Anil
Kapoor's
53rd
birthday
(December
24)
will
be
celebrated
tomorrow
by
his
children
Rhea
and
Harsh
along
with
Anil's
wife
Sunita.
Sonam
Kapoor
and
her
siblings
planned
to
make
this
birthday
really
special
for
their
pa.
After
a
long
time,
it
looked
like
the
entire
family
would
be
together
this
year
on
his
birthday.
Anil
is
in
the
country,
and
his
son
Harsh,
who
is
studying
in
the
US,
is
home
for
the
holidays.
However,
Sonam
who
is
currently
shooting
in
Punjab
for
Mausam
couldn't
take
a
day
off
to
be
with
her
family.
No
chutti
It
is
learnt
that
the
actress
requested
director
Pankaj
Kapur
for
permission
to
fly
down
to
Mumbai
for
a
day
but
it
looks
difficult,
as
she
is
shooting
combination
sequences
with
Shahid
Kapoor.
The
source
adds,
"But
she
is
part
of
the
planning
and
has
been
constantly
on
the
phone
with
the
siblings.
Everything
from
the
guestlist
to
the
menu
has
been
planned
and
mom
Sunita
has
been
kept
in
the
loop.
The
menu
will
include
Christmas
goodies,
too.
A
huge
Christmas
tree
has
been
bought
and
stands
proudly
in
the
Kapoor
home."
X'mas
by
default
The
Kapoor
parivaar
has
always
celebrated
Christmas
by
default
because
Anil's
birthday
falls
on
the
same
day.
"This
year,
Anil
wanted
just
a
family
dinner
but
then
the
children
wanted
to
make
it
special
for
their
father
and
planned
a
bash.
They've
invited
all
AK's
friends:
Salman
Khan,
Indra
Kumar,
Ashok
Thakeria,
Shabana
Azmi
and
Javed
Akhtar,
etc.
Last
year,
there
was
no
party,
as
Sonam
was
out
shooting
and
Rhea
was
busy
with
Aisha."
The
Kapoor
girls
are
gifting
their
dad
an
Italian
suit.
Every
year,
they
give
him
a
joint
gift.
