Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actor Arbaaz Khan marked son Arhaan Khan's 24th birthday on Monday, 9 November 2026 with a heartfelt social media tribute, calling fatherhood 'one of the most beautiful roles life has given me.' The post, which included a video of the two sharing an affectionate moment, quickly drew attention from fans of the Khan family.
What Arbaaz Shared
Arbaaz posted a video on his social media account featuring a candid moment in which he is seen kissing Arhaan on the cheek, set against the backdrop of a live musical performance. The clip also offered glimpses into Arhaan's life as a young filmmaker and musician.
In the accompanying note, Arbaaz wrote: 'Happy 24th Birthday, Arhaan. 24 years of loving you, 24 years of being proud of you, and a lifetime of standing by you. I may not tell you every day, but I want you to know how proud I am of you. Being your father is one of the most beautiful roles life has given me.'
He continued: 'Today, as I see you growing into a mature, confident and wonderful young man, my heart is filled with pride and gratitude. Keep dreaming big, stay humble and always believe in yourself. I wish you courage to chase your dreams, strength to overcome challenges and wisdom to make the right choices. Always remember that no matter how old you get, you will forever be my little boy. Proud to be your father. Love you always!'
Malaika Arora's Birthday Wish
Arhaan also received birthday wishes from his mother, actress Malaika Arora, who has previously shared affectionate notes and throwback memories on his birthdays. The warm public gestures from both parents underscore the co-parenting dynamic that Arbaaz and Malaika have maintained since their 2017 divorce, which came after nearly two decades of marriage.
Arhaan's Extended Family
Arhaan shares a close bond with his father's wife, Sshura Khan, who married Arbaaz after his separation from Malaika. Arbaaz and Sshura welcomed their daughter Sipaara Khan in October 2025, making Arhaan an elder brother. Sshura has publicly referred to Arhaan as 'Big Brother' to Sipaara and called him the 'bestest human,' signalling a warm blended-family relationship.
Who Is Arhaan Khan
Arhaan Khan, now 24, has been carving out his own identity in the creative world as a filmmaker and musician, stepping beyond his parentage in Bollywood's prominent Khan family. His journey has been closely watched given the high public interest in both his parents' careers and personal lives.
As Arhaan steps into his mid-twenties, the outpouring of affection from both sides of his family points to a chapter defined as much by personal milestones as by professional ambitions.
