Birthday greetings to Rucha, Sophie and Smaran

Three TV stars are celebrating their birthdays today (8 February 2013). They are namely Rucha Hasabnis, Sophie Choudry and Smaran Sahu. Ruchi Hasabnis’ (who plays Rashi in Star Plus’ Saath Nibhana Saathiya) birthday celebrations started from last evening. “I partied with both my school friends and family. My school friends have been there with me celebrating my birthdays since the last 20 years.” She will be celebrating the day with her relatives in her native place- Satara in the evening. Her birthday celebrations will continue tomorrow when she inaugurates her uncle’s art exhibition. Sophie Choudry (former MTV India VJ, model and anchor) had a packed schedule today. Nevertheless she is having a great time in London. Early in the morning she was in an interview with BBC. She also launched the London Country Club today. In the evening she will be watching her favourite musical The Bodyguard with her friends. She is relentlessly receiving birthday greetings. She informed us, “My phone is jammed as I am getting birthday wishes non-stop. I have cut four birthday cakes since last night. I feel that like Benjamin Button I grow a year younger on every birthday.” Smaran Sahu (who was Adi in Channel V’s Roomies) is meeting just a handful of really close friends today to celebrate his birthday with over a small party at Lagerbay in Waterfield Road in Bandra, Mumbai. He told us, “It’s just like anyone else’s birthday. Friends have been calling and texting me. I haven’t got any gifts as yet. However, later in the day I may receive a few. I actually have everything I need, so I don’t really need any.” Regarding growing a year older he jokes, “Actually I am happier that I am now a year closer to my eventual destination… if you know what I mean. Growing older isn’t something to be sad about.” We wish all these actors a very happy birthday.
