Actor Ssharad Malhotraa, who plays the title role in "Maharana Pratap", is not getting time to celebrate his birthday due to hectic shooting schedules. He wants to be in Kolkata on his special day.

Ssharad will turn 32 Friday.

Asked about his birthday plans, Ssharad said: "I am doing a daily soap 'Maharana Pratap'. I hardly get offs. If I get off, I'll go to Kolkata. If I'm in Mumbai, I will celebrate it with my close friends and will go out for dinner."

Ssharad recalled that best birthday celebration was with a friend, who surprised him at midnight with a cake.

"It was a few years ago when my best friend surprised me with cake and chocolates at my doorstep at the strike of 12 a.m. She was out of town. But she came and surprised me at my place," he said in a statement.
