PIX: Rekha, Aditi Rao Hydari party with Javed Akhtar

Javed Akhtar celebrated his 72nd birthday on January 17 with a party at his home in Mumbai.

Here's looking at the starry guest list.

Rekha hugs Aditi Rao Hydari before they make their way to Javed Akhtar's home.

Aditi, incidentally, shared a good chemistry with Farhan Akhtar in their film Wazir.

Hrithik Roshan takes a break from his Kaabil promotions to party with the Akhtars. 

• 'I am not positive at all'

Urmila Matondkar puts in a rare appearance.

Incidentally, Shabana Azmi had played her mother in Tehzeeb.

Vidya Balan arrives with husband Siddharth Roy Kapur.

Kalki Koechlin looks lovely in a red sari.

She had a totally different look in Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

Fashion designer Manish Malhotra arrives.

Music composer Lalit Pandit escorts his wife.

Farah Khan posted a picture on Instagram of the Capricorns in the party -- Farah shares her birthday with Farhan on January 9, Anil Kapoor's is on December 24, Vidya's is on January 1 and Kalki's birthday is on January 10. Hrithik, incidentally, shares his birthday with Kalki, we wonder why he didn't make this picture!
