Alia Bhatt Pulls A ‘Mrs Anjali Tiwari’ At Her Birthday Bash, Leaves Ranbir Kapoor In Splits | Watch
Alia Bhatt’s birthday cake-cutting moment with Ranbir Kapoor reminded fans of Hungama’s iconic Anjali Tiwari scene.
Alia Bhatt celebrated her birthday with the media in an intimate meet-and-greet event on Thursday, March 13, 2025. While several photos and videos from the celebration went viral, one particular moment stole the spotlight—Alia feeding herself cake before anyone else, instantly reminding fans of a classic Hungama scene.
In a video making waves online, Alia is seen cutting her birthday cake with Ranbir Kapoor by her side, clapping and singing for her. As she playfully dances, she takes the first bite of the cake herself before offering it to Ranbir. Moments later, another clip shows Ranbir smearing cake on her face.

However, what caught the internet’s attention was the uncanny resemblance between Alia’s actions and a memorable scene from Hungama (2003). In the film, Shoma Anand’s character, Anjali Pandey Tiwari, famously eats the first bite of her birthday cake instead of feeding it to her husband, played by Paresh Rawal. Fans were quick to draw parallels, pointing out the hilarious similarities between the two moments.
Social media was flooded with comparisons, with one user writing, “Self-love at its peak, inspired by Mrs. Anjali Tiwari." Another fan humorously noted, “As Lana Del Rey rightly sang, ‘Life imitates art.’" A third chimed in, “Both husbands laughed at the end too… this isn’t 19-20, it’s 20-20!"
Others even found similarities in their appearances, with one netizen observing, “The ladies’ haircuts are literally the same, and both men are wearing spectacles—what a coincidence!"
On the work front, Alia is gearing up for Alpha, co-starring Sharvari. The film marks the first female-led entry in the YRF Spy Universe and is directed by Shiv Rawail. Slated for a Christmas 2025 release, Alpha has already generated significant buzz. Additionally, Alia is set to reunite with Ranbir Kapoor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated epic, Love & War.
