She further added, “I had a lot of plans for this year.. I was supposed to go to Maldives, it is Karan’s and my favourite place.

Talking further about her plans for the day, the actress says, there will be no party as such. “It will be very simple, with my mum, dad, and food. I am a foodie, all my favourite specialties will be made by mom. I will miss all my friends and my birthday holidays which I love.”

Talking about the helping staff following protocols and maintaining hygiene the actress said , “I am very particular about what they do, where and how they go. For a long time, they didn’t travel, so when everything felt better (last year), with all possible protocols in place, I took them to Maldives. Then my father flew to Kolkata. I was very paranoid and wanted him to come back to Mumbai, and thankfully he reached just before the third wave flared up”.
