Cutie and boy next door, Imran Khan will be celebrating his 26th birthday on Tuesday, January 13th!  Aamir Khan's nephew made his Bollywood debut with the smash hit, 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na,' which was also made by his Mamu, Aamir.  The cutie won the hearts of thousands of young girls who fell for his sweet demeanor and innocent good looks in the film, not to mention his superb acting skills!  But then he shocked everyone by taking a walk on the bad side, playing a manipulative kidnapper in 'Kidnap.'  All right so it may have bombed at the box office, but those that did see it, applauded Imran Khan's performance (and Minissha Lamba's bikini body, but that's a whole different story!)

But what's this we hear?  Imran isn't in the mood to celebrate his birthday with his pals!  Hmm... wonder why?  Well it turns out he'd rather spend the day with his girlfriend Avantika Malik!  Awww... maybe he is as sweet in real life as he was in 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na'!  We're sure tons of girls are turning green with envy right about now, I sure am!  Also staying true to his craft, he hopes to also catch a movie when he has the time tomorrow.  Hmm... we wonder what Avantika Malik has planned for her man.  Whatever it is, no doubt he'll enjoy it!

2008, was definitely the biggest year of Imran's life.  He was quoted as saying, "I feel I've grown up by a couple of years," which is totally understandable.  He'll next be seen in 'Dehli Belly,' co-starring Shruti Hasaan and Sanjay Dutt, and then 'Luck,' which is an English language caper comedy.  Sounds like a pretty diverse bunch of roles, and a smart decision for an actor who probably doesn't want to get type cast in boy next door roles.  Well, here's to you Imran Khan, happy birthday!
