Farah Khan is directing the Triumph lingerie show for the third year in the row.

Says a friend of the director, "Even though she wasn't in the mood to do this show at the moment, it is an old commitment, and she wanted to honour it."

Farah Khan celebrates her birthday on January 9 along with first cousin Farhan Akhtar (while Hrithik Roshan is a day later).

Farah says, "When we were kids Farhan and I used to be part of a group called Capri 9 as we are both Capricornians.

We hung around together doing fun things." Farah left for Aamby Valley today to bring in her birthday with family and friends. While in Aamby, Salman Khan has invited Farah as a special guest on his Big Boss sets.
