Actress Ngo Thanh Van Hosts Daughter's First Birthday Party

Actress and producer Ngo Thanh Van, a prominent figure in Vietnamese cinema, celebrated her daughter Gạo's first birthday with a lavish party alongside her husband Huy Trần. The event, held on August 2nd at a restaurant owned by actor Chi Bảo in Ho Chi Minh City, was attended by close friends and colleagues, including actress Nhật Kim Anh. The venue was adorned with a predominantly pink theme, fitting for a princess-themed celebration for Gạo, who was dressed in a fairytale gown. Ngo Thanh Van expressed her gratitude to the guests and spoke about her life as a mother. Months after Gạo's birth, Ngo Thanh Van and Huy Trần began introducing their daughter to the public. Gạo has been praised by audiences for her cuteness. Through various videos shared by the couple, the baby has shown early recognition of surrounding objects. Ngo Thanh Van mentioned that she often takes her daughter on picnics to expose her to different living environments. Huy Trần has been a constant support in caring for Gạo, and Ngo Thanh Van complimented her husband's diligence in cooking and household management, noting he is more meticulous than she is in these areas. Ngo Thanh Van described her life as having turned a new page since becoming a mother. She recalled anxieties about not having enough milk for Gạo and sleepless nights spent caring for her, but found immense happiness in watching her daughter grow daily. During the party, Gạo changed into a Snow White costume and was wheeled onto the stage by her father. The family shared a moment of blowing out candles, cutting the cake, and singing a birthday song. Ngo Thanh Van emotionally stated, "Thank you for coming into our lives, Gạo." Chi Bảo's family, including his four-year-old son Gia Khang and nearly two-year-old daughter Gia Linh, also attended. Ngo Thanh Van humorously noted the advice and support received from her colleague couple in organizing the event. Actress Nhật Kim Anh, a long-time friend, shared that while they don't meet often, they frequently exchange parenting tips. Makeup artist Nam Trung also congratulated Ngo Thanh Van's family. Model Xuân Lan hosted games during the party. Ngo Thanh Van, 46, is a renowned actress, film producer, director, and businesswoman.
