Ameesha’s production house partner Kuunal Goomer and his wife Shammli were keen to celebrate her birthday in a special and memorable way.

Earlier, she was slated to perform at an awards event in Singapore and they had planned to have a party there. But once they knew that she would be in Turkey shooting for Race 2, they changed the plans.

Decorated venue

The palace where the cast is staying in Antalya is so huge that it has everything from clubs to restaurants to a beach so one doesn’t need to venture out. So they locked down to a club in the hotel itself called Monkey’s Club. It’s one of the best clubs in Antalya and Shammli and Kuunal had booked an entire area in the club for their guests.

The private area was decorated with flowers and balloons. All the ice-box trays had ‘Happy Birthday Ameesha’ written on them. The invites were sent personally to all the rooms by Shammli with a soft toy and a personalised invite for the party which everyone found to be a cute and loving gesture. In fact the Race 2 team was very sweet to send a personalised letter to wish Ameesha with a lovely cake to her room as well.

Ameesha was looking ravishing on her birthday in a white dress and all couldn’t stop complimenting her on her body and looks. The cake cutting moment was very touching since they all asked her to make a wish and she shut her eyes and made a wish before she cut the cake. The party went on till the wee hours and everyone was chilling after a long day of shooting.

Also her new film with Sunny Deol also went on the floors on her birthday which also made it even more special. Ameesha is loving working with the entire team and found everyone loving and friendly. She specially has lots of admiration for Anilji, who is so dedicated and such a fine actor.

He is so professional and so health conscious and fit after so many years — this encourages her and the rest of the team as well. For Ameesha, it was a memorable birthday and with Shammli and Kuunal joining her on location made it a complete dream birthday.
