Osman Khalid Butt, who turned 39 earlier last month, posted photos from his birthday celebration on Instagram recently. Pampered with two cakes, Osman sat surrounded by close family as he flashed a bright smile to the camera. "With the family," he wrote in French, adding his birth date to the caption.

Celebrity friends were quick to dispense birthday wishes to the Baaghi actor. "Happy birthday, brother!" wrote Anaa actor Usman Mukhtar. "A happy birthday and blessed years ahead," wished veteran actress Simi Raheal. Meanwhile, Ehde Wafa co-star Zara Noor Abbas sneaked in a cheeky reference to the project in her wish. "Happy birthday, Malik Shahzain," she wrote, nodding to Osman's character in the serial.

Even fans poured an abundance of wishes and compliments. "Happy belated birthday! That first picture is such a good snap with the sparklers framing you," a user noted, referring to the birthday star's wholesome solo photo, whereas another zeroed in on the family portrait by saying, "That second picture is everything I was waiting for."
