      Turkish Handé Erçel goes back in time to the Roaring Twenties with a Great Gatsby-themed party to enjoy her 30th birthday in an elaborate setting.
      A series of stunning photos from the night were shared on the actress’ Instagram account to her 31 million fans.
      By taking it back in time to the period of the 1920s, Erçel bought the American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story back to life as she looked beyond gorgeous in her matching looks. She also had an exquisite silver cake topped with red cherries and long candles to complement the evening.
      The superstar was donned in two completely different white-hued looks. In the first, Erçel wore a jacket and hot-shorts and held a stick. However, while cutting the “white” cake, the Turkish actress wore a short white dress. In both outlooks, the model made a special hairstyle to match the party theme.
      A host of guests attended “The Great Birthday’ and were also seen wearing clothes to match the theme party of the Turkish actress. Hande Erçel’s sister Gamze was of course one of the main party guests who attended the celebration along with her husband Caner Yıldırım.
      Swipe through the gallery to see snippets of the lavish celebrations.

      The king of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, celebrated his 57th birthday in Dubai and the celebrations were nothing short of spectacular.
      Known for garnering a strong relationship with the UAE over the years, it’s not surprising the emirate of Dubai went all out to ensure the actor had a special birthday.
      The occasion was marked with Shah Rukh Kahn’s image lit up on the Burj Khalifa with the message: “Happy Birthday Shah Rukh, Happy Birthday Pathaan. We love you.”

      The words flashed on the screen with his iconic track ‘Tujhe Dekha To’ from the 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which played in the background.
      The actor has been featured on the world’s tallest tower multiple times for campaigns and his birthday in 2020.
      Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan also became the first Indian actor to receive the UAE Golden visa and the Happiness Card.
      The General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs tweeted, “GDRFA Dubai welcomes Bollywood star Shah Rukh and grants him the Happiness Card with the aim of achieving happiness through various benefits, discounts and offers.”
      With a close affinity to the country, the actor’s Bollywood film Happy New Year was also shot in the UAE along with the star-studded cast.
