Jolly and bubbly Bebo of Sabki Laadli Bebo (Star Plus) turns sweet 16 on Thursday. Bebo's real name is Shivshakti and she was very excited to be 16, but a little saddened by the fact that she must shoot on her birthday.
"I'll be shooting till two in the afternoon and then I'll be spending the rest of the day with my family like every year," said Shivshakti. But there would be fun at work too. "On the sets, we'll be celebrating on Saturday or Sunday as everyone will be there," says the birthday girl.
Though she is a cusp between Taurus and Gemini, Shivshakti thinks she has more Gemini qualities. "I am a chatterbox and can mingle with anyone. But at the same time, I don't trust easily. I am not at all short-tempered, I don't get angry that easily and even if I do I get back to normal in no time," she said.
As her name might suggest, Shivshakti is very religious and has firm belief in Sai Baba. Whenever she gets an opportunity, she goes to Shirdi for darshan. "I go every month to Shirdi with my family. The last time I prayed for a lead role in a major show. When my wish got fulfilled, I went to Shirdi again to thank Sai Baba."
The actress will head to the temple on Thursday. "Early in the morning tomorrow, I'll go to Sai Baba mandir as I do every year on my birthday."
Shivshakti is not expecting any gifts but is sure she will be surprised by the number she gets. "I never demand anything but I am always flooded with so many gifts every year. This year too I am very sure that my on-screen brothers are planning to surprise me although I am clueless as to how. Especially Anuj who plays Amrit has been asking for my address as he says he wants to send me a courier, so let's see…"
So far, Shivshakti's most memorable birthday has been her 10th. "I got many gifts from my parents which we three sisters divided amongst ourselves. My parents threw a very big party for me that was very memorable."
We wish Bebo a very happy 16th.
