Actress Sayani Gupta is celebrating her birthday this year after turning 36. She is currently shooting for the third season of the web series Four More Shots Please in Mumbai. A day before her birthday, Sayani told us that she wants to spend a fun day on the sets with her co-stars of the show.
“I will be shooting for Four More Shots Please with the girls tomorrow. Celebrating a working birthday is always fun. I have some friends with whom I like to spend my birthday. Everyone is shooting but I hope to spend some time with them. Also my mother is in the city so I am looking forward to spend the day with her before going on the shoot,” Sayani told News18.
Recalling her childhood birthday memories, the actress said that it was not a big celebration at home in Kolkata. “My mother never let me celebrate my birthday, there was no way to cut the cake. She used to make Paish (Kheer), as do Bengalis. The first time I cut a cake on my birthday was when I was in college, I think. Cakes weren’t really a part of the culture I grew up in. And my mother would not let me tell people that it was my birthday, because then they would come with presents,” she said.
But the fun part of having a birthday in October was that it would coincide with Durga Puja, the biggest festival in Bengal. “My birthday will always be during the Durga Puja holiday, so I never really got to celebrate it in school. There is no such cool thing where you give toffees to classmates. But most of the years my birthday was celebrated on Durga Puja days, so it was fun. I will get a lot of new clothes and shoes,” explained Sayani.
While the actress likes to keep busy on her birthday, the search for love is not on her wish list this year. “I’m not looking for love from one person, but love from people in general,” says the actress, who appears on Bumble’s Season 2 Dating In Days. “People have become more violent and full of caustic, toxic energy, which I really hope can go away. In general, there should just be love everywhere.”
