So much love has been pouring in on me from my family, friends and my fans. I would like to call this day - Give You Back Day. I want to gift back a lot of love to everyone.
What is your birthday wish for the year?
I'm a firm believer that you make your own destiny and everything is in your hands. You can shape your destiny only if you have health on your side. I only wish for good health for my family and my kids.
What gifts have you received?
My wife (Sussanne) has organised and invited me to a party, which I'm really looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to the cards and the drawings that my kids make for me every year.
And what about the return gifts?
Yes, I'm planning to spend most of my day with my kids and family somewhere quiet. I will take them for dinner in the night.
