Tannaz Irani with husband  Bakhtiyaar Irani

On Thursday, Tannaz Irani turned 50. The actor was keen to host a bash to mark the milestone birthday, but due to the prevailing conditions, it was a family-only affair at Lonavala. Her husband Bakhtiyaar Irani and children Zeus and Zara turned party planners. Tannaz, who is seen on Apna Time Bhi Aayega, took time off from the shoot of the TV show for her big day.

Tannaz shared a long note on Instagram, along with her birthday celebration pictures. She wrote, "My Milestone Birthday! In many ways than one! MY NEW RULES FOR ME. FROM NOW ON I'M GOING TO BE IN... A space in time where nothing is going to shake me. I'm going to remain the same wild, silly, funny, crazy girl I used to be. I'm going to be unapologetically selfish about my time. Spend my money, time and words wisely. Keep my character of empathy, understanding and selfless help intact. And be in no hurry to GROW UP! Thank you @bhakhtyar For all the arrangements given the circumstances! [sic]"

"In normal circumstances, I would have loved to throw a party and celebrate my birthday with my friends and extended family, but this year I planned an interesting and intimate celebration. My family and I decided to celebrate my birthday in a luxurious bungalow in Lonavala with a pool and garden," Tannaz said.

"I took a break from 'Apna Time Bhi Aayega' shoot and planned the whole getaway. My husband (actor Bhakhtyar Irani) got a special birthday cake designed and my dearest kids also planned a very sweet surprise for me. They really made my birthday a very memorable one," she added.

Regarding safety measures they observed during the celebrations amid the pandemic, Tannaz said, "Throughout our entire trip, we ensured to take extreme care of ourselves by wearing masks and using sanitisers and abiding by all the safety guidelines and measures put in place by the Maharashtra Government. Despite the current circumstances, I had a blast and, honestly, it felt great to get out of the mundane routine for a bit."

Birthday girl Tannaz further informed that this year being a milestone birthday, she has decided to send personalised and curated gifts to all family members.

On the work front, Irani features in Zee TV's fiction drama "Apna Time Bhi Aayega" where she plays a character called Rajeshwari.
