Advani started his day with customary prayers with his family in the morning. Then he invited visually-impaired children as his 'special guests' to celebrate his birthday at his residence and had breakfast with them.
The BJP veteran personally fed delicacies to the children and ate with them in the foreyard of his residence.
The 90 kids from the Janta Adarsh Blind School were later presented with schoolbags by him.
It was an open house from 10:30 am onwards when the veteran leader met a large number of people.
Advani was born in Karachi.
