Keeping her birthday message short and affectionate, Alia captioned the post: “HBD cutie.”
Actor Sonam Kapoor was among those who wished Ranbir in the comments, writing, “Happy birthday Ranbir!”

Ranbir also celebrated his birthday by stepping outside his new Mumbai home, Krishna Raj, to greet fans and paparazzi who had gathered outside.
Dressed casually in a grey co-ord set, white sneakers and black sunglasses, the actor waved at the crowd and thanked them for their wishes.
Ranbir Kapoor has rarely been one to engage with the media, let alone invite the paparazzi into his personal space.
