Shiv Thakare turns a year older today. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, Shiv opened up about his fond memories of birthday celebrations in childhood, plans on celebrating it with celeb buddies, a special birthday ritual and more. 

Shiv talks about his birthday plans

Shiv got candid about his plans and fond memories, "I think the planning happens for my birthday celebrations in Mumbai. Where the party needs to be organised, where I have to decide on buying the cake or preparing the outfits. But my happiest celebrations have been that I do at home. I would sleep knowing that my family is preparing a surprise for me. They would light diyas according to my age, and we would have a little celebration where the elders would do a tilak. I really love it, for me, celebrating at home is very important. So I am celebrating my birthday at home first and then will catch a flight to Mumbai. To celebrate it with my Industry friends, I even have a career-related update for fans."
