What are your birthday plans this year?

My birthday plans this year are going to be very sweet and simple. Nothing too fancy or elaborate as I am not too fond of that kind of a celebration. So I will just be spending some quality time at home with family and then heading out with a couple of friends later in the day to any of our favorite hangout spots. 

Are there any birthday rituals that you follow every year?

Its not really a ritual, but I like going to the temple every year on my birthday. Its just a nice and peaceful feeling, and also a good occasion to thank god for all the strength he has given me in the past year to achieve all that I could.

Do you remember any special birthday celebrations with your co-stars on the sets? 

My best on set birthdays have been the ones with my Dil Dostii Dance crew. Those were some of the best celebrations I have had in my shooting years. There were in-fact quite a few of us who had our birthdays spanning in between February to March, and we couldn't really take separate leaves each for our birthday, so we would all fix a day and celebrate our birthdays together and that was the best part!

 Do you remember any childhood incident of you celebrating your birthday?

Back in school there was a tradition of wearing different clothes besides your uniform on your birthday and distributing sweets to all the other kids. It is definitely one memory I will always remember. 

 Are you the kind of person who remember their co-stars and friends birthdays or you tend to forget it?

I do tend to oversee birthdays at times, so I make it a point to note them down. 

Lastly, what importance does birthdays hold for in your life? Do you look forward for it every year?

I am not someone who goes gaga over my birthday, but its definitely a special day. It makes me realize how much I have witnessed over all these years in my life, as well as how much I have changed and matured over time and grown so much as a person which is indeed a lovely feeling.
