After a self-imposed exile for almost seven years, Bollywood’s maverick director, Dharmesh Darshan, is back with a bang by announcing the sequel to his mega hit, Dhadkan. The celebration is two-fold, because Dharmesh celebrates his forty-fourth birthday today.
Team MissMalini got him to spill the beans on his birthday plans, as well as his #1 birthday wish!
How are you celebrating your birthday today ?
I am celebrating my birthday with the announcement of Dhadkan 2- The Heart Beats Once Again, and my return to film after a brief self-imposed hiatus. The wishes from all my loved ones are what I’m celebrating the most.
What is the most memorable birthday gift you have received and from whom?
The most memorable gifts are from my parents who passed away within the last four years. They gave me a vast library of books on cinema, and nothing can compare to the memories of receiving those gifts.
If you could get one gift on your birthday today, what would it be ?
(Laughs) It would have to be the perfect casting for the male and female lead as the passionate lovers in Dhadkan-2.
Who do you enjoy spending your birthday with the most ?
When I’m not shooting, I enjoy spending my birthday with my close friends. But when I’m not shooting, then it is always on the floors with my film unit.
If you could ask God for one wish on your birthday, what would it be and why ?
Ah! That would definitely be for a healthy balanced life, because showbiz can be unhealthily imbalanced (laughs).
Here’s wishing Dharmesh a very happy birthday from Team MissMalini 🙂
