Friends from the industry like David Dhawan, Boney Kapoor, music directors Sajid –Wajid, director Anil Sharma, producer Sajid Nadiadwwala, director Prem Soni, producer Vickey Chopra and producer Ramesh Taurani joined in to wish Salman on his birthday." our source present at the party told us.

Salman's new heroine Zarine who stars opposite him in Veer was also present on the birthday while beau Katrina Kaif was busy shooting for her forthcoming venture De Dhana Dan in Mumbai. She sort of made up for Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif's absence as Kat was away in London with her family celebrating Christmas.
