HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI ABBAS ZAFAR: The acting industry was quite unaware of the potential of director Ali Abbas Zafar when he created his maiden film Meri Brother Ki Dulhan. But it was his back-to-back hits that paved his way to success. In his decade-long career, Ali Abbas Zafar has carved a niche for himself by depicting heroism alongside vulnerabilities in his multiple movies. From working as an assistant director to delivering back-to-back three movies with superstar Salman Khan, his Bollywood journey has been nothing less than a roller coaster ride. The filmmaker is ringing in his 41st birthday on Tuesday, January 17.
