Celebrity hairstylist Adhuna Bhabani marked the birthday of her longtime partner Nicolo Morea with a warm social media tribute on 27 October, drawing reactions from her former husband, actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, and filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, among others from the film fraternity.

The Birthday Post

Adhuna shared photographs from the celebration, including a candid shot of Nicolo cutting a cake with her by his side. Her caption was simple and affectionate: 'Happy Birthday love @nicolo_morea.' The post quickly gathered warm wishes from several well-known names in the industry.

Reactions from the Film Fraternity

Farhan commented, 'Happy birthday Nic..', while Zoya wrote, 'Happiest birthday Nic'. Actress Jennifer Winget also chimed in with 'Happiest birthday Nic!'. Actress Amruta Rao and fitness personality Deanne Panday were among the others who extended their wishes. The warm response, notably including Adhuna's ex-husband, reflected the reportedly amicable ties the family has maintained over the years.

Adhuna and Nicolo's Relationship

Nicolo Morea is the brother of actor Dino Morea. Adhuna and Nicolo have been in a relationship for several years and regularly share glimpses of their life together on social media. Their bond has resonated widely, particularly for Adhuna's candid remarks about love later in life. Responding to a social media user who praised her for giving hope to women who believe finding love after 40 is impossible, Adhuna wrote, 'I don't think there is an age limit on love... 40 is yet young!!!!'

Background: Adhuna's Life After Farhan

Adhuna and Farhan Akhtar were married in 2000 after three years of dating and remained together for approximately 16 years. The couple announced their separation in January 2016, with their divorce finalised in April 2017. They share two daughters, Shakya and Akira. Farhan subsequently married actor and television personality Shibani Dandekar on 19 February 2022, in an intimate ceremony in Khandala. The fact that both former spouses have moved forward and still maintain a cordial rapport — visibly demonstrated through birthday wishes on social media — has drawn attention as an example of co-parenting and mutual respect in the public eye.

What It Signals

Adhuna's post, and the reactions it drew, continues to highlight a broader cultural conversation about love, second chapters, and graceful separations within Bollywood's inner circle. As both Adhuna and Farhan build new lives, their continued goodwill remains a talking point among fans and the film community alike.
