Mumbai, Feb 25 (IANS) Bollywood actor Ishaan Khatter penned a heartfelt birthday wish for his actor brother Shahid Kapoor as he turned a year older on Wednesday.

The 'Dhadak' actor uploaded two photos with Shahid on his official Insta handle.

The first was a throwback pic of a young Shahid holding little Ishaan in his lap. Next was a recent click of the brother duo trying to recreate the same photo. The second snap seems to be from Shahid's birthday celebration as we could also see a birthday cake on the table.

Expressing his love for his big brother, Ishaan penned on the photo-sharing app, "What to even say.. not much has changed? Love ya big brother. Happy birthday.. Here’s to having each other’s back (or godi) always (sic)."

Ishaan and Shahid are often seen cheering one another on social media and also showering each other with love on special occasions.
