PIX: Alia celebrates dad's 70th birthday

Party time for the Bhatts!

It's a day of family celebrations!

Even as Kareena Kapoor Khan brought in her birthday with her folks, Mahesh Bhatt was celebrating his 70th birthday with his clan.

Bhattsaab, who returns to direction with Sadak 2 after 20 years, looked comfortable in a long black kurta as he posed for pictures with wife Soni Razdan, and children, Pooja, Rahul and Alia.

Alia Bhatt captures an important day in her father's amazing life.

Alia's elder sis Shaheen was not present so Pooja shouted out to her, 'La familia... @shaheenb you were truly missed.'
