They also celebrated Chhaava's success as Vicky was seen cutting the cake in the second and the final picture. Chhaava, which has grossed over Rs 400 crore worldwide and is still going strong at the box office, has become Vicky's highest-grossing film.

It was a triple celebration for them as Alia and Sanjay's Gangubai Kathiawadi celebrates three years of its release on February 25.

Happy birthday magician sir (and happy 3 to our Gangu too) & lastly many many cheers and claps for Vicky Kaushal for absolutely smashing the box office with Chhaava!! Chalo abhi party over, back to shoot."
