Farah’s special birthday post for Karan Johar

On Sunday, Farah shared a sneak peek of Karan's home on Instagram on his birthday. The video started with Farah showcasing the festive setup at Karan's residence, featuring an array of flower bouquets and balloons.

“Aaj Karan Johar ka birthday hai (It’s Karan Johar’s birthday today),” Farah exclaimed as she panned the camera across the room, showcasing a spread of birthday gifts and flower arrangements. The camera also captured stacks of luxury Hermes boxes, prompting Farah to quip, "I hope these are return gifts," in a lighthearted jab. She then points the camera at Karan, who is seen waiting at the door with folded hands.

Farah then turned the camera towards Karan, who was standing at the door with his hands folded. She’s heard saying, “Just see these flowers — oh my god, birthday boy!”

The real fun began when Farah reached Karan's doorstep. As Karan, wearing a stylish black-and-white striped shirt, warmly welcomed her, Farah playfully teased, "Ye zebra crossing main cross karke jaaun ya you will just let me enter? (Should I cross this zebra crossing)".

Her witty remark about his outfit sparked laughter.

Karan smiled warmly and expressed his gratitude to Farah for visiting. "It will only be your honour if you pass this zebra," he said, acknowledging her "zebra crossing" quip. Following that, Farah teases him again, calling him a “zebra” before stepping inside.

Farah posted the video on her Instagram, writing, “Its @karanjohar s birthday n ek reel toh banti hain (It is time for one reel)! Happy birthday karu.. i (heart emoji) u very much”.
