Inside Sonam Kapoor's Birthday Bash - Bhumi Pednekar Shares Video Revealing Cakes, Cocktails Menu And More
Sonam Kapoor turned a day older today, June 9. The actress celebrated her 40th birthday by throwing an extravagant party at her home in Mumbai. The star-studded bash was attended by the who's who of Bollywood, including Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Bhumi Pednekar, Karan Johar, Karisma Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, among others. Birthdays are never complete without a flavourful cake, and Sonam followed the ritual thoroughly. In one video posted by Bhumi Pednekar on her Instagram Stories, we see the birthday girl cutting not one but two delicious cakes as the guests clapped and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song for her.
The first cake was a lip-smacking blueberry cake. The creamy butterscotch layers were topped with multiple blueberries that had us drooling. The words 'Happy Birthday Sonam' were written on a white chocolate cube. After blowing the candles and cutting the cake, Sonam turned her attention to the second sugary wonder. It was a chocolate lover's dream, created with loads and loads of dark and rich chocolate. The appetising number was garnished with edible pearls and additional chocolate slices. For a vibrant touch, the cake was served with macarons.
Kept on a table just beside the two tasty cakes was a bowl of juicy cherries. Additionally, a medley of cocktails was listed on a chalkboard. There was Negroni – a bold and bittersweet Italian cocktail, Old Fashioned - a whiskey cocktail, Whisky Sour cocktail, cucumber basil smash – a warm-weather beverage made with either gin or vodka alongside fresh cucumber slices, basil leaves and lemon juice. That is not all. The cocktail menu also featured two types of martini – classic and dirty. Classic Martinis typically come with a simple gin or vodka base and dry vermouth. On the other hand, Dirty Martini offers a splash of olive brine twist to the signature cocktail, giving the drink a savoury and briny spin.
Here's a snap of Sonam Kapoor striking a happy pose with a glass of martini in her hands.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, it appears that is not at all pleased with this revelation. Govind Namdev clarifies the viral photo In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Namdev explained, 'When the film was being prepared, we had a discussion with the director, producer, and Shivangi about planning a strong publicity strategy. I agreed that it was necessary,' he said, adding that they had taken photos during morning workouts and shoot days. Namdev said that Shivangi herself had suggested the idea of projecting them as a romantic pair to generate buzz. 'Shivangi insisted that we should have a romantic pairing, that the images needed to convey a certain chemistry. I agreed, but also asked what kind of content she had in mind,' he explained. 'She said, 'There's a lot. Content matters most.' I thought, fine, let's do it.' However, he said things went south when she proceeded with tagging and posting content without informing him. 'That's where the misunderstanding started. People began speculating about us, and frankly, I didn't appreciate it. That's why I stopped talking to her,' he stated. Shivangi posts a scathing message on Instagram Shivangi didn't take these remarks lightly. On Wednesday evening, she took to her Instagram Stories and posted a scathing message in Hindi: 'Sahi kaha hai kisi ne, buzurg badhti umr mein satiya jaate hain...G***** Tired of too many ads? go ad free now N*****.' The comment, roughly translated to 'Old people lose their senses with age,' was seen as a direct dig at Namdev. The use of his initials left little doubt about whom she was referring to. 'I'm not here to prove anything,' says Namdev In the same interview, Namdev also addressed rumours suggesting that his marriage with wife Sudha Namdev had hit a rough patch due to the controversy. 'There were rumours that my household was affected and me and my wife were considering living separately. I didn't react then, and I don't react now. Everyone can see the truth,' he said. 'The more I raped, murdered, misbehaved onscreen, the more I got close to my family,' says popular villain Govind Namdev He added that the situation forced him to speak up, especially after people close to him expressed concern. 'People had begun feeling sorry for me — not just the audience, but even close friends and family. So yes, as a respected actor, I felt a responsibility to speak up. That's why I shared two posts initially — just to set the record straight.'
