In short, he is my family in Mumbai. He calls me fondly as ‘chote’.” Deepak and Sonal bond well, especially because they are fitness freaks.

However, both Sonal and Deepak broke their diet rules for a day yesterday, as they partied hard to celebrate Deepak’s birthday in style!! Talking about the birthday party, Sonal explains, “Deepak bhai is very fond of sweets, but presently lives on a ‘zero-sugar’ regime as he is very fitness conscious. But all rules were broken yesterday, and he jumped on to the beautiful and yummy vanilla cake. He is very fond of sweets, and always breaks his diet with sweets. We both hogged on to quite a lot of sweets yesterday to celebrate the moment. I am very happy for him; I respect him, adore him and love him a lot. Wish you a very happy birthday, Deepak bhai.” Deepak, Tellychakkar.com too wishes you a very happy birthday!!
