"Priyanka
Chopra
would
be
the
perfect
choice
to
portray

as
she
is
a

she
can
express

should
be
made.
People

get
a
chance
to

Aaja',
I
was

with
Rs

by
R.D
Burman
for
singing
better

would
sing

with
Pancham.
"When
I
was
a
child
my
mother
used
to
feed
me
sweets
made
by
her
on
my
birthday.
After
that
Pancham
used
to
give
me
unique
gifts.
I
love
to
cook
so
sometimes
he
gifted
something
related
to
my
cooking."
Asha
also
said
that
she
considers
every
day
as
her
birthday.
"Every
day
when
I
get
up
is
a
birthday
for
me.
Nobody
knows
about
the
future.
Therefore,
I
try
to
spend
each
day
differently,
keep
myself
well,
do
good
and
that's
how
I
spend
my
birthday.
Every
day
is
a
birthday
for
me."
