From Rubina Dilaik’s fun cowboy-style party to Abhinav Shukla's reunion with daughters Jeeva and Edhaa; A glimpse into the actor's 43rd birthday

TV actor Abhinav Shukla, who is currently seen in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga with his wife Rubina Dilaik, recently turned 43. The actor chose to spend his special day in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, where he visited his parents and his twin daughters, Jeeva and Edhaa, in Chaupal. Abhinav also shared glimpses of his celebrations on his YouTube channel, where he posts cinematic vlogs for his fans. From Rubina Dilaik’s fun cowboy-style birthday party to his emotional reunion with Jeeva and Edhaa, the actor’s day was filled with warmth, joy and family love. Here’s a look at how Abhinav celebrated his birthday in the most special way.

Abhinav begins the vlog by joking, “Kya ladkon ko mature hone mein 40 saal lagte hai? Shayad agar dimaag thanda rahe toh.” He then shows Rubina dipping her face in a bowl of ice-cold water. Teasing her, Abhinav adds, “Dimaag toh fir bhi thanda nahi hoga,” to which Rubina quickly replies, “Ab kya karu, aap humesha dimaag pe pressure banake rakhte ho.” The light-hearted banter set a fun tone for the vlog while showing their bond.

The actor then talks about how both he and Rubina try to stay young after crossing 40. While Rubina relies on her secret ingredient smoothies, Abhinav chooses to take N-acetyl cysteine. He also mentions that after 40, maintaining good health and a youthful look is very important, especially for actors. Abhinav then reveals that Rubina’s secret to looking young is her strict discipline — she never skips her exercise and always eats healthy food.

Abhinav and Rubina later head to the Andheri Sports Club to try their hands at pickleball. They are joined by actress Aakanksha Singh and her husband, Kunal Sain. Abhinav mentions in the vlog that it was actually Aakanksha and Kunal who convinced them to play the sport. The two couples then enjoy a fun match, running around and laughing as they play. In the end, Abhinav and Rubina lose the game to Aakanksha and Kunal.

The next day, Abhinav and Rubina take a flight to Chandigarh as part of their journey to Chaupal, Himachal Pradesh, where their parents and twin daughters live. During the flight, he reflects, “40 ke baad dimaag mein ek ajeeb si clarity aati hai.” He shares that he had already told Rubina he was certain about celebrating his 43rd birthday with his daughters, Jeeva and Edhaa, and his parents. For him, spending this special day with family in the mountains mattered the most.

Abhinav, Rubina, and his parents took a scenic road trip along the Solan Rajgarh Highway. During the drive, Rubina spotted a tomato yard and mischievously plucked a few tomatoes for Abhinav, knowing how much he loves them. The family also paused midway for a lunch break on their vehicle, where Abhinav’s mom had prepared a variety of dishes for the journey. Abhinav fondly said, “Maa Baap ke saath road journey karne ka fayda yeh hai ki woh bohot sari purani kahaniyan sunate hai, aur un anecdotes se seekh milti hai aur entertainment bhi.”

On his birthday morning, Abhinav began the vlog by showing his daughters, Jeeva and Edhaa, who instantly lit up the frame with their smiles. He shared that this year felt extra special because three generations were celebrating his birthday together. To begin the day on a spiritual note, Abhinav visited a nearby temple with his parents and daughters. The sweet highlight of the clip was when his little girls were seen adorably praying and seeking blessings.

Rubina had a big surprise planned for Abhinav – a cowboy-themed birthday party. She decorated the venue beautifully with a camp-style setting, complete with a central tent, colorful balloons, and another set spelling out “Happy Birthday.” Abhinav, dressed smartly in a blue shirt, jeans, cowboy boots, and a matching hat, looked the part perfectly. He cut the cake along with his twin daughters, creating a heartwarming family moment. The celebrations didn’t stop there – Abhinav himself cooked his favorite mushroom soupy noodles, adding a personal touch to the party.
