MUMBAI: Friends who party together, stay together. So, when actor-photographer Faisal Raza Khan decided to celebrate his fifth wedding anniversary with his wife Gazala Shaikh, he invited his gang of friends to be a part of it, too. His close circle of friends includes Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, Keerti and Sharad Kelkar, Surveen Chawla, and Tina and Hussain Kuwajerwala.

Faisal shares, “I hadn’t met my friends in a long time owing to the pandemic and also because I was traveling after the lockdown was lifted. Besides, Sharad was busy with his film projects, and Rubina and Abhinav were in Bigg Boss 14. It was amazing to meet them after almost a year. Keeping in mind the COVID scare, Gazala and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in an open-air club. Everyone was a little apprehensive because of the situation and we wanted to celebrate our special day in a safe environment with a close circle of friends.”

The Do Saheliyaan actor was thrilled to meet his friends, especially Rubina. Talking about their bond, he shares, “Rubina is my rakhi sister. We share a strong bond. Kirti celebrated her win on Bigg Boss after she came out of the house. However, I couldn’t join the celebrations since I was travelling. So, Gazala and I thought what better occasion to invite all our friends than our wedding anniversary. Rubina was there, too. I was meeting her after almost a year and gave her a big hug. She looked very beautiful and has changed for the better. She has the smile of a winner on her face and deserves all the love that she is receiving from people. I am so happy for her. She has made me proud.”
