MUMBAI: Akansha Ranjan Kapoor's birthday in Dubai was an intimate affair, filled with cherished moments among close friends and her mother, Anu Ranjan. But what made the day truly special was an incredibly thoughtful gift from her best friend, Vaani Kapoor.

Known for her love of animals and dedication to animal welfare, Akansha often requests her friends not to splurge on gifts for her. Taking this to heart, Vaani decided to gift something truly meaningful by making donations to two animal charities on Akansha’s behalf. This heartfelt gesture was a reflection of their close bond and understanding of what matters most to Akansha.

Taking to Instagram, Akansha shared her gratitude with her followers, calling Vaani’s gesture "the best birthday gift ever."
