Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on December 18, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Vijay Mallya! The man who taught us all how to fly high—quite literally. From brewing India's favorite beverages to steering Formula One cars onto the global stage, you've always lived life in style and flair that even Bollywood envies.

Your journey from Karnataka's vibrant streets into Parliament (twice!) proves you're truly independent—in politics as well as lifestyle choices. May your birthday celebrations be grander than Kingfisher calendars and smoother than a perfectly aged whiskey!

Here's wishing you another year filled with adventures worthy of headlines—and perhaps fewer encounters involving passports or extradition requests! Cheers!
