Well, honestly, I have always in general, even before the pandemic, liked to have my birthday as a very intimate ceremony where very close family and friends are invited, and we do dinner, chat, and we catch up because this is primarily the one time that I can consciously put aside my shoot schedule so that there’s time and value there. Nothing too fancy, but this is how I prefer to celebrate it.

Umm, it's not just one single resolution. I think essentially the goal is to try and be as exploring inward of myself as an artist and as I do on a human level, because I don’t want to go hand in hand as the camera catches everything. So I hope that this year is good as there are a lot of good opportunities, and some of them have come sooner than expected so I'm super excited to announce my next couple of ventures in the coming years.

I remember us celebrating at home where we made homemade pizzas and chaat, and there was a separate games corner since I loved art as well, I remember us sketching a diagram, marking a spot on the diagram and stuff like that. And it was a really sweet time because we would return gifts and those return gifts used to come very handy. After all, my birthday also comes at the start of every school term so the gifts would be like water bottles and bags, pencils and eraser kits. Everyone would be very excited the next day we’d all go to school, it was a great time we used to do a lot of swimming. I remember among us girls there was a separate time where we would enjoy the pool a lot because I am a water baby. I remember my entire family always being around me the entire time, running around, wrapping up gifts and of course, I would help and participate but it was more of a celebration. I think now as I look back on them as I grow older, and yeah, they were the most fun and innocent times that I can recall.

You know I'm not so much of a shopper myself, and even the things that I pick up are usually the things that I require or creatively inspire me in some way or the other. So I made it very clear to everyone around me outside the family to please gift me cash so I can go buy whatever I won't because then I would want to utilise what I buy and preserve it in some way or the other. My family, of course, knows what I like very well and close friends do too, so some of them even send me a list of things and ask me what I like. But yeah for me, the gift essentially is the time that we spend together because that’s what is missing throughout the year. Just having them around and them being able to make that one day possible means the world to me. They do lots of crazy things like they get home décor, put up lights - they literally do up the place themselves. So it's just more of a family cum friends affair. I don’t have to say anything, they know what I like - whether it's chocolate or strawberry cake, they know where to get it from. I’m fortunate to have few people but those who really care and understand me and make sure to express it at every given opportunity around.

Maybe growing up through school, we kind of had a larger group because of so many friends in school we meet or were travelling to tuitions or you know in our social activities so we kind of get everyone in that room for that one day but for me, I actually always regardless of who I meet, that one day I prefer to spend with those who I can just be with. It's not a day I need to put up with an entertainment night. There are times where I literally don’t do anything and I'm just called that okay we are just having dinner together, which is cooked so it's more of these things, and that is one thing that has never changed if anything just the number of people has reduced even more but for the better and I feel like that there’s this sense of fulfilment and quality attached to that time.

Birthday memory I think, uh, each one of them has been very memorable, but it would definitely be the times I had my father around because he was the most excited and enthusiastic planning things together. I remember on my 16th birthday, was very special because we moved away from home celebrations into a restaurant which again, my father had arranged and that was the 1st time we understood what celebrations are. So just that whole experience of having him around, planning and calling all my friends, being there. I remember at the time my friends were literally spending more time with him than with me so you know those days have left a really large impact on how I think and who I am today.

I think everyone in my family because we’re all very connected and tight you know, and there are no filters. We share our thoughts, we have our agreements/disagreements all very passionately. So I take everyone’s advice because I do believe everyone has a different perception and there’s always something new to take away. It's like an overall perspective that I get. But yeah everyone, it would be my family for sure.

Umm... Isn't it too soon? I really don't know. I should not reveal my age (laughs), but I still feel I am too young, and I feel I have so much more to look forward to professionally. I feel married right now to my career, and I feel it needs all the sensitivity and all the attention I can give, and I think when it’s meant to happen it will happen - I am open to it. I haven't planned anything as of now, but when it happens my friends, fans, and you guys will come to know about it.
