Turning 50, feeling nifty!

As Bollywood's "Greek God" nears his 50th birthday, expectations are high for a grand celebration. However, the star prefers a more private affair with a gathering of his nearest and dearest. The expansive Roshan family alone is enough to fill a large-style party. A current discussion within the family is whether to host the event at their Khandala farmhouse or an abroad destination. The decision, according to Rakesh Roshan, lies with Hrithik, who recently came back from London. On his birthday last year, an intimate party was held at Hrithik's home in Juhu, attended by family and close friends, such as Farhan and Shibani Akhtar, Kunal Kapoor, Ritesh and Dolly Sidhwani, and girlfriend Saba Azad. “Our family has 16 members, akin to what you'd see at large Punjabi weddings,” Rakesh jokes, adding that Hrithik will finalize the location. The chosen place will be somewhere not too far from India. The Roshan's Khandala farmhouse, situated on a five-acre property and designed by architect Grigoria Oikonomou, is another potential venue. Post the birthday celebrations, Hrithik will dive headfirst into promoting Siddharth Anand's Fighter and filming Ayan Mukerji's War 2.
