Happy Birthday TV celebs!!!

Today October 2 (2012), on the birth anniversaries of the Father of the Nation… Mahatma Gandhi and our second Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri, as many as seven television celebrities are celebrating their birthdays. They are Akshay Sethi, last seen in Sasural Genda Phool on Star Plus, Preeti Choudhary, seen in Kairi on Colors, actors Ashish Kapoor and Sachin Verma, Ashutosh Kaushik, winner of Roadies season 5 and Bigg Boss season 2, Hina Khan of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame on Star Plus and last but not the least Jai Kalra, currently seen in Bade Achche Lagte Hain on Sony Entertainment Television. Shares Akshay, “I partied last night with my family when my father gifted me a flat so that I am independent and can settle down in life. This evening, I will party with my friends and I am awaiting some gifts. Here, I would like to share a very unique thing. After my college, I joined a designer store where actor Akshay Khanna, our family friend, came to meet me. On the next day which was also my birthday, he was being awarded with the Zee Cine Award. In a light-hearted manner, when I asked him if I could collect the award that he was to get, very humbly he replied, “Ok, I won’t be going to collect the award. Rather you go on my behalf on the stage and collect it.” And on my birthday, I collected the award on his behalf. Since I wasn’t an actor then, the day was very special to me. I can never forget that day ever in my life.” Opines Ashish Kapoor, “Well, it is a usual day for me and I don’t really like to party on my birthdays. Of course, I will be meeting some close friends and enjoy this special day. Though I haven’t got any gifts as of now, I am expecting a few later in the evening. The only thing that I am missing today is the presence of my family as I stay alone here in Mumbai.” Avers Sachin Verma, “I will celebrate my birthday with my close friends and family. I am happy that a few days before my birthday, my sister gave birth to twins in US. That itself is one special gift I have got. Though there is nothing special, I will be with my friends at home and have a small get-together.” Says Jai Kalra, “I am highly packed as I have been shooting really cut-to-cut for some time now. The same goes for today also. I might plan something during the weekend. Talking about gifts, my three year-old daughter scribbled my name on a handmade beautiful card and presented it to me. I feel it is a priceless gift I could have ever got.” Quips Preeti Choudhary (Kairi), “I am in Goa with my friends and am enjoying a lot. Tonight, I will party hard. Incidentally, I cut a cake with my unit people yesterday itself. Hina Khan and Ashutosh Kaushik remained unavailable for comments. Tellychakkar.com wishes all of them a very happy birthday.
