When someone says on her birthday, “Please do not bother to get gifts. Your presence and blessings will be more than enough,” what is generally going on their minds is, “I do wish you get gifts that I will like.” Then if people actually attend the birthday party without gifts they may be likely to complain behind their back, “They are so shameless to come and enjoy at the party and have lunch without getting any gift whatsoever.” Actress Neha Desai who you have seen in shows like Grihasti and Yeh Ishq Haaye is candid and without any double standards clearly telling her friends and well wishers that she would like them to gift her something or the other. She candidly says, “I never tell my friends not to gift me anything.” The actress who is celebrating her birthday today (21 June 2013) has gifted herself watches, clothes and girly things that she has picked up for herself from the U.S. Her father has gifted her a camera as she loves photography. On growing older she feels more mature, responsible and understanding. If she could have gone on a holiday vacation, she would have visited Tomorrowland- (one of the many theme lands at the five Disney theme parks). She feels her worst birthday was the one a year ago as she was upset and nobody made her feel special. Her best birthdays were her childhood birthdays in which approximately three to four score kids were invited to her home. Her birthday wish is that she has a great personal and professional year ahead. Rishina Kandhari (Laado, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev) like Neha also welcomes gifts on her birthday. She is busy with shooting for Khubsoorat today. Nevertheless, she plans to have a small get together at Taj Lands End with her family. She has already received bouquets, chocolates and soft toys as gifts from both her fans and near and dear ones. She is elated to have received a beautiful collage of her photographs from her fans. Her father is planning to give her a car someday soon, she hopes that she will get it today. She would like to gift herself a pair of glares on this blessed day. She would have loved to visit the Maldives with her family on her birthday. She feels that her birthday two years ago when she went trekking at Bhandardara was both her best and worst one. “We had lit a bonfire, hyenas had surrounded us and there were bats flying in the sky. They ran away in a panic when our group leader came with a lighted torch.” On her birthday she wishes that God blesses her with success in all her endeavours. She isn’t miffed but rather happy in turning a year older today. We wish both the amazing ladies a wonderful birthday.
