Aamir Khan and his son Azad broke a dahi handi on Janmashtami.

Aamir cheers on his son as he hits the handi repeatedly with a coconut. The colourful earthen pot falls apart after just a few blows. While Azad breaks into a celebration, Aamir quickly grabs the treats that fell from the pot. Azad throws a tiny fit to get the treats from his father. Aamir’s wife and filmmaker Kiran Rao is seen shooting the entire episode on her phone.

“Wishing everyone a very happy Janmashtami,” Aamir captioned the post. Aamir’s fans wished him on the festival too.

Janmashtami is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna. As per the Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, was born on the eighth day of the month of Bhadra. The day mostly falls in the months of August or September.

The festival is celebrated by offering prayers to Lord Krishna, with beautifully decorated swings, dance and music performances and Dahi Handi competition.

Other actors also celebrated the festival with their families. Shilpa Shetty’s son Viaan also broke a dahi handi with help from his father Raj Kundra. Ayushmann Khurrana, Karisma Kapoor, Disha Patani, Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor and several others also wished their fans on the festival.

Aamir is currently working on his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. The film is a Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. It will also star Kareena Kapoor.
