Hiroo Johar and Karan Johar
Yesterday, Karan Johar's mum, Hiroo, turned 76. The doting son hosted a bash at a suburban restaurant for her girl gang, which included Jaya Bachchan, Salma Khan, Shobha Kapoor and Rima Jain.
Before cutting the three-tier cake, Hiroo gave a short speech thanking all her friends for making it special. KJo suggested that they celebrate her birthday once in two years now, but Hiroo's buddies chorused he should host it twice a year.
Karan Johar also shared a cute picture with mum on Instagram, and captioned it: "Happy birthday to the big love of my life!!!! Happy birthday mama!!!! love you so much!!!! [sic]"
