Dear dada...

Sourav Ganguly’s 45th birthday album, with t2 

TT Bureau Published 18.07.17, 12:00 AM

Sourav Ganguly had just come back from London when t2 dropped by at his Behala residence on Saturday the 8th of July to wish the Prince of Calcutta a very happy 45th birthday. Even though he was “very tired”, a two-pound Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake, a special bake by Paris Cafe for Dada’s B-Day, brought an instant smile to his face. Wife Dona joined in for the cake-cutting. 

“I was really young when he was playing, but I do remember him taking off his shirt at Lord’s! He is a true ambassador of Calcutta… our Dada! I wanted him to make a powerful statement on his special day, that’s why him in the black suit. All the elements represent different facets of Dada’s life — his cricket career, him as the CAB boss and of course the host of Dadagiri. Happy Birthday! You will always be a superstar!” was the message from Sneha Singhi of Paris Cafe.

What’s a birthday celebration without some cake Holi?! Sana went first. Dada ducked coolly. Super reflexes... yes, Sourav has always said age is just a number! 

Sweet celebrations began as the t2 camera went click-click.

“Wait, wait… Sana will come! Where is Sana?!” asked doting dad Sourav. The 
dad-daughter duo were matchy-matchy in distressed denims.

Thank you for showing so much of love and affection from all over the country… it’s my 45th birthday… it’s unbelievable how time flies. Thanks to t2 for this wonderful cake! — Sourav Ganguly
