Prisoners sing 'Happy Birthday' for
Randeep Hooda
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Aug 25 (IANS) Randeep Hooda had an unexpected birthday
gift last Sunday. Thousands of prisoners of the Thane Central
Jail sang "Happy Birthday" to the actor.
"It was most touching and most moving. I can't think of a better
gift... unless Angelina Jolie popped out of a cake. Jokes aside,
I was deeply moved. My director Vishram
Sawant and I were shooting the end-portions of 'Risk' in the
prison, when they got to know that it was my birthday they all
sang for me. I don't know of anyone else who has
got this gift. Ain't I a lucky sod?"
On the night before (Aug 19) Randeep ushered in his 30th
birthday. "With lots of good friends, chocolate cake, my
saxophone. I had myself a great time. All the people who
matter to me were there with me. Can't think of a better way to
ring in my birthday."
So how does it feel to be 30?
"Scary, man! I can no longer say I'm pushing 30 or I'm in my
late 20s. My youth is gone! I feel like I'm born again at 30. I
think a new phase of my life has begun this
birthday. I've just finished work on one film, and going into
the next. I've never felt happier, more at peace with myself."
