For
the last many years actor Hrishikesh Pandey has been celebrating his birthday
on the sets of his shows, and this year is no different. The actor, who turned
a year older on 11th December, says that birthdays have never been about big
celebrations for him. “Normally I always celebrate mybirthday quietly, not much
of a celebration. I generally do a small thing with friends. In almost 14 years, I celebrated my birthday on
sets only,” he says.
And
does it bother him that he is turning a year older? “When I was young about 15
years, I lied saying that I am 20 years old. I wanted to grow up faster. But
now that I am older, I want to be younger. I think this is a natural reaction,”
he says.
Remembering
other people’s birthdays can be quite a task and Hrishikesh says that there
have been times when he has forgotten his friends’ birthdays. “Yes, I have
forgotten my friends and the closest ones’ birthdays at times. But no matter
what, they never forget my birthday. I forgot my brother's anniversary and
later made an excuse that I called but could not get through due to network
issues,” he says.
Ask
him what his most memorable birthday gift is, and he says, “The most memorable
birthday which I can recollect was the one when my father gifted me a bike. He
gave me the one that I always wanted and that moment was overwhelming. Those
days one could not just go and buy a bike anytime. Another time was when on my
birthday, my family surprised me by coming to my house.”
In
fact, his mother is the first one to wish him every year. “She waits till 12
midnight every year and then wishes me. She is always the first one,” he says.
While
he is not one to plan ahead, Hrishikesh has decided to travel this year. “I don't
have goals, I just go with the flow. I don't plan things because things don't
go the way you want. But yes, I am planning to go around the world and travel a
lot,” he says, adding, “This year has taught me a lot. It's fine to care and
love people around you but the most important thing is to love yourself.
