Actress Elnaaz Norouzi turned a year older on July 9. Best known for her roles in Sacred Games, Made in Heaven, and The Traitors, she chose a different kind of celebration this year. Instead of throwing a lavish party, Elnaaz spent her birthday working on the set of Masti 4 in London.
She shared a sweet moment with her co-stars and crew. Later, she posted a video on Instagram where she cut a small cake at a cosy restaurant. She looked stylish in her birthday outfit and smiled throughout the gathering.
While sharing the post, she wrote, “I’m so used to celebrating my birthdays big that I didn’t realise it has its own charm to sometimes take it easy too… I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday, though… I am in the middle of a filming schedule, doing what I love the most, and surrounded by amazing people. You all make it worthwhile.”

Milap Zaveri joins the celebration
Director Milap Zaveri also joined the surprise celebration. He posted a group photo featuring Elnaaz, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia D’Souza, Vivek Oberoi, and Shreya Sharma. Everyone looked cheerful and relaxed.
Milap wrote, “Happy birthday, @iamelnaaz. This was an impromptu celebration with the #Mastiii4 team, friends, and family, but the best things in life are usually unplanned! Wishing you a wonderful day and a fabulous year!”

Elnaaz balances Indian and global fame
Elnaaz has made a mark in both Indian and international cinema. She played the bold and mysterious Zoya Mirza in Sacred Games. Then, she stepped into Hollywood with Kandahar, where she acted alongside Gerard Butler under the direction of Ric Roman Waugh.
More recently, she joined the star-studded reality show The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar. She competed against celebrities like Karan Kundrra, Uorfi Javed, Jasmine Bhasin, Raj Kundra, and more. Eventually, Nikita Luther and Uorfi walked away with the ₹70 lakh prize.
Anticipation builds for Masti 4
Now, Elnaaz is part of the much-loved Masti film franchise. Directed by Milap Zaveri and produced by Indra Kumar, Masti 4 brings back the hilarious trio — Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani — as Amar, Meet, and Prem.
The franchise began in 2004 and has built a loyal fan base with its over-the-top comedy and bold jokes. With Elnaaz on board, fans can expect even more chaos, laughter, and wild fun in the upcoming installment.
