Indian-origin Entrepreneur Akash Mehta threw his mother, Chetna Mehta, a spectacular four-day 60th birthday extravaganza in Dubai that many online have described as “more lavish than most weddings”. The founder and CEO of multimillion-dollar Ayurvedic haircare brand Fable & Mane shared a heartfelt video montage on Instagram documenting the multi-event celebration, which blended spirituality, glamour, desert adventure, and non-stop dancing. “Mum, your four-event celebration honestly felt like a wedding,” Mehta wrote in his caption, adding that seeing her smile with family and friends made him “the happiest son”.
The festivities kicked off with a devotional musical evening featuring Chetna, a classically trained Indian dancer and meditation expert, entering in a striking red gown amid live performances. Subsequent events included an elegant gala with friends flying in from across the globe, a high-energy party where the birthday star danced the night away, and a sunset desert safari complete with camel rides, traditional entertainment, and a private dinner under the stars. Throughout the video, 60-year-old Chetna radiates joy in designer outfits, proving age is just a number as she grooves alongside her children and guests.
Social media quickly crowned Chetna Mehta the ultimate “glam mom”. Indian-American comedian Zarna Garg reacted with a string of cake emojis, while choreographer Joya Nandy Kazi commented, “I want to be her when I grow up!” Others mistook her for Kylie Minogue in the opening clip, with one user writing, “Who is this diva?!! Looking young and iconic.” Akash proudly replied to several comments with “My Mum” followed by heart emojis, clearly touched by the outpouring of admiration for Chetna’s youthful energy and style.

Chetna Mehta grew up in India immersed in Ayurvedic traditions passed down from her father, later becoming a creative yogi and dynamic meditation guide. She co-inspired Fable & Mane—the brand she launched with her children Akash and Nikita that blends ancient Indian rituals with modern haircare and is now valued in the tens of millions. Previously in the travel industry, she has spent recent years focused on healing and spiritual practices, which was reflected in the thoughtful blend of sacred and celebratory elements at her milestone birthday.
The Dubai celebration has struck a chord with thousands who see it as a beautiful tribute to a mother whose influence extends from family rituals to a global beauty empire. As one commenter put it, “60 years young indeed!”—a sentiment echoed across platforms where the video has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views and endless praise for both Chetna’s vibrance and her son’s lavish display of love.
For Akash Mehta, who was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe in 2019, the four-day spectacle was the ultimate thank-you to the woman whose wisdom and spirit continue to power both their family and their brand. In an era of understated milestones, Chetna Mehta’s Dubai birthday has set a dazzling new benchmark for celebrating life, love, and the extraordinary bond between a mother and her children.
