Happy Birthday Neelu Vaghela!

Neelu Vaghela who has gained immense popularity after portraying the character of Bhabo in Shashi Sumeet Mittal's Diya Aur Baati Hum and recently in Nach Baliye - 5 has turned a year older today. The actress is happy to celebrate her birthday today with the entire cast and crew and what's more she shares her birthday with co-actor Varunn Jain who plays her son in the show.

When we called her, the birthday celebrations were on and we heard the co-stars singing the birthday song in the background for Neelu and Varunn. The duo had just cut their birthday cake on the sets.

Even as her colleagues were feeding her cake, Neelu spoke to TellyBuzz about her birthday plans. A delightful Neelu told us, "I am shooting today and celebrating my birthday with my reel life family. My entire family is here to celebrate my birthday. What else could I ask for? We all are happy and enjoying together."

Talking about a perfect birthday, Neelu said, "A perfect birthday according to me is the one which I am having today. I returned from my shoot around 12 o'clock last night and my kids were ready with the gifts and surprised me with a nice celebration. They also prepared a birthday greeting for me and prepared a picture collage for me."

So, what gifts have you got on your birthday? Neelu told us, "Both of my kids have prepared a pillow from each of their side. My daughter wrote 'I am a princess of my Mumma and Papa' and my son wrote 'I am a prince of my Mumma and Papa' on the pillow. I love my family. My husband (Arvind Kumar) gifted me a greeting card and a mobile phone. I didn't expect all this."

Sharing her childhood birthday memories, she said, "I used to celebrate my birthday with my family. I like to be with my family. I am a very family person so I used to have lots of fun while celebrating my birthday with all in my family around. My friends also join in and we all eat together, dance and enjoy."

So, what are her plans for a birthday treat for her co-stars? Neelu told us, "Me and my on-screen son Mohit (Varunn Jain) are sharing our birthdays and just now we had a cake cutting and treated our co-stars."

We told Neelu that the fans of India Forums are celebrating her birthday by preparing a birthday thread for her. An elated Neelu told us, "I would like to thank all the fans of India Forums for celebrating my birthday with lots of love. I love you all a lot."

TellyBuzz would like to wish Neelu Vaghela a very happy birthday and a fantastic year ahead.
