Ankita Lokhande's birthday was all about glitter, gold and cheer as she partied with boyfriend Vicky Jain and other friends on Saturday. To celebrate her 36th birthday, Ankita Lokhande decided to come live on Instagram for her fans and cut her birthday cake followed by a dance party, with friends including actor Rashami Desai.

From sharing a kiss to dancing, Ankita and beau Vicky stole all the spotlight at the party. Late actor and former boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti commented on Ankita's midnight party post, “Happy Birthday beautiful,” along with a heart emoji.

Prior to his Bollywood debut with Kai Po Che! in 2013, Rajput was a TV star courtesy his hit daily soap Pavitra Rishta, which aired from 2009 to 2014. The actor was paired opposite Lokhande in the show and the two even went on to have a long-term relationship. They parted ways in 2016 after dating for 7 years.

Happiness is letting go
of what you assume
your life is supposed to be
like right now,
and sincerely appreciating it
for everything that it is.
So, RELAX.
You are enough.
You have enough.
You do enough.
Breath deep.. let go,
And just live right now in this moment. pic.twitter.com/GykU9cdjrr
