It is socialite, former columnist and entrepreneur Shweta Bahchchan Nanda's birthday. She turns 50 today and her friend Karan Johar posted a thoughtful wish for her. “Today on your milestone birthday I wish you a decade of joy and happiness … You have raised the most beautiful and well-mannered children and are an inspiration to me as a parent,” he wrote. Johar, in the post, also recalled an incident where Abhishek Bachchan had tied Shweta and Johar to a tree.
