If it is singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya's birthday party and the birthday song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shaan, the moment is bound to get etched eternally. The singer chose to celebrate his special evening with his closest friends and family. And the music fraternity showed up for their fondness for him.

As Pankaj Udhas put it, `He is someone who calls a spade a spade, but we still love him.` Added Anup Jalota, `He is the music fraternity's shotgun.` `His words are never sugar-coated,` is Shaan's thought. But yes, there is this humorous side to Abhijeet. When Shaan said that he got delayed because wife Radhika took a long time dress up, Abhijeet immediately remarked that he still helps his wife wear and adjust her sari, `especially after she has worn heels`. Several singers, composers and musicians including Nitin Mukesh, Talat Aziz, Udit Narayan, Anand-Milind, Lalit Pandit and Alka Yagnik were spotted with the three generations of singers (the youngest being Aditya Narayan) posing for a perfect picture after cake cutting.

Shaan, Nitin Mukesh, Sapna Mukherjee, Alka Yagnik, Talat Aziz, Harshdeep Kaur and Bikram Ghosh, Anand, Milind, Lalit Pandit, Sonu Nigam, Aditya Narayan, Akriti Kakkar and Udit Narayan. All were singing ' papa kehete hain beta bada naam karega'...
