The couple got a customised cake made for Javed Akhtar and it has a connection to some of his most celebrated movies like "Sholay", "Deewaar", "Shaan", among others. They had Javed Akhtar's face put on some of his iconic movie characters.

Sharing a picture of the cake, Shabana wrote: "Sidharth Roy Kapoor and Vidya Balan’s gift to Javed on his birthday. Look carefully at the cake. It’s Javed’s face in the characters."

Earlier, yesteryear diva Urmila Matondkar also gave a sneak peek into the star-studded birthday bash through an Insta post. In one of the pictures shared by the 'Pinjar' actress, she was seen posing with Javed Akhtar.

She also got captured with Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan during the celebration. Urmila Matondkar further dropped a video where Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Shankar Mahadevan, and others can be seen singing "Happy birthday" for the legend.

Urmila wrote: "An absolute epic day that it was..with some of the best talents our industry has!!
