MUMBAI: Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur recently celebrated his birthday surrounded by love, cinema, and cherished memories, thanks to a beautifully organised celebration by his daughter Kaveri Kapur.

The gathering served as the perfect blend of nostalgia and celebration, with every detail thoughtfully curated to pay tribute to Shekhar Kapur's visionary filmmaking journey and te reminisce his greatest hits and accomplishments, both in Indian and international cinema.
Kaveri took to her social media to share pictures and penned, "Happy birthday", as she incorporated iconic elements from her father's most celebrated works. The dinner set up included poster cards of his groundbreaking films Bandit Queen and Mr. India, reminding guests of the director's ability to craft stories that went on to become both culturally significant and universally resonant. The pièce de résistance, however, was an exquisitely designed birthday cake adorned with fondant figurines of Anil Kapoor from Mr. India, Cate Blanchett from Elizabeth, and Seema Biswas from Bandit Queen, three of the most iconic characters from Shekhar Kapur's filmography.
