Himani Shivpuri reveals her birthday plans, says “this year my birthday will be more festive, will make homemade sweets”

Himani Shivpuri, who currently plays Katori Amma in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, is undeniably one of the most well-known and respected actors in India. The veteran actor thinks that birthdays ought to be not only about giving yourself joy, but also spreading that joy to others. This year, the actress, who will be celebrating her birthday on Diwali, tends to put a smile on the faces of others.

Himani Shivpuri aka Katori Amma tells us about her birthday plans “Every year my special day begins with a surprise celebration at midnight, complete with cake and decorations by my son.It is his genuine affection with which he assembles all my favourite things that makes the celebrations always very special and filled with greater joy each year. This year my birthday will be more festive and special for me because I will make homemade sweets and distribute them to children, the elderly, or families who are homeless and in need of food. Seeing their happy faces brings me great joy.”
The actress further adds “Every year I have a working birthday, but this year it is a double celebration as it is falling around Diwali. The festival of light is all about spreading love and joy and celebrating together. During Diwali every year, I make it a point to clean my house and go shopping, and this year I will do a little more shopping (laughs). One precious thing that is always on my shopping list is a silver coin with Goddess Lakshmi imprinted on it, and this year will be no exception. I also intend to replace some old house furniture, which will be a birthday gift to myself as I have been planning it for a long time. Then, after shopping, I will end my day by having dinner with my friends and family. Not a cliché way of celebration, but a special way for me.”
