Birthday in general is the name given to the date of birth of an individual and is celebrated each year to mark the anniversary. The birthday celebrations are generally not considered to be complete without a birthday party ,a birthday cake, birthday song and rite of a passage, however the tradition of “rite of passage “ has significantly declined over the years. The origin of birthday is supposed to be dated from very very ancient times of MESOPOTAMIA (later called EGYPT), GREECE and ROME because it was the first time that men remembered and honored their birthdays. They realized the importance of birthdays because of their newly developed knowledge that birthdates were the key links in predicting the horoscope of an individual.

Since birthdays have grown to become so significant since the day they came into existence to such an extent that they have become an integral part of our Bollywood industry. Just like we cannot imagine birthday parties without birthday songs

the same goes with our BOLLYWOOD too.
