MUMBAI: Beautiful and talented actress Sana Makbul Khan, who turns a year older today, is celebrating the day with her family. She has been seen in shows such as Arjun as Riya Mukherjee and Aadat Se Majboor as Riya and is currently playing the role of Dr. Aliya Sanyal in Vish: A Poisonous Story.

Talking about the celebration, she says, 'I was supposed to go to London for the World Cup, since it was falling on my birthday, but unfortunately or luckily, God has gifted me my show, Vish, and I have to be here in Mumbai. It's just going to be a small scene with friends and family,' she says.

The actress views growing old as gaining more experience. 'Over a period of time, I have learned my way. I was a girl, then I became a woman, and now I am like a lady. A woman has a lot of phases to see in life, and I think I have grown over the years. I still feel that I am a little immature, as I still sometimes take hasty decisions and panic a lot, so I think that I should behave my age,' she says.

Talking about her most memorable birthdays, she says, 'All of my birthdays have been special. I loved partying since my childhood days as having a party was the only reason that I got gifts. This time, I am not going to party, but I have told everyone, even the people on my set, that I don't care if you give me a one-rupee chocolate, but you have to give me something.'

And what would she like to give herself? 'Every year, I have gifted something to my self, as I like to save a little from my income. This year, I am gifting myself a diamond ring,' she says.

She adds, 'This year, I want to do some charity too, as I am not throwing a party and my gift for myself is very expensive. I would like to feed poor kids and just do a small celebration with them.'

Happy birthday, Sana!
