Sushant Singh Rajput, who is in the city for the shooting of Dibakar Banerjee’s Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, dropped into Shisha and celebrated his 28th birthday with girlfriend Ankita Lokhande and another female friend. The birthday boy walked into the party hub at 22 Camac Street around 9.45pm and partied on till 11.15pm. Sporting a moustache and dressed casually in striped tee and jeans, the actor’s birthday celebration was kept low-key and hush-hush as he was seen unwinding and relaxing with “only close ones”. Although none of them danced, Ankita was seen enjoying Honey Singh’s latest track Sunny Sunny and later, she was seen singing some of the songs. The trio were parked in the private section of Shisha. Sushant also had his share of birthday cake (inset), ordered some Diet Coke, hookah and the non-vegetarian kebab platter while the ladies sipped on Sangria.
