Delhi
girl
Bipasha
Basu
returned
to
her
roots
to
bring
in
her
birthday
on
January
7.
“This
was
my
first
birthday
in
Delhi.
I"ve
very
special
links
with
that
city.
I
was
born
in
Delhi.
So
when
I
got
a
chance
to
be
in
the
Capital
for
my
birthday
I
grabbed
it.
To
make
it
even
better
it
was
seriously
cold
in
Delhi.
I
love
the
winter
weather."
Bipasha"s
soul-mate
and
hopefully
her
lifelong
companion
John
Abraham
accompanied
her
to
Delhi.
“It
was
the
Auto
Expo
and
as
you
know
John
loves
anything
on
wheels,
but
hates
birthdays.
So
he
was
just
happy
being
around
some
of
the
best
cars
in
the
world." The
couple
flew
back
to
Mumbai
in
time
for
Bipasha"s
family
birthday
lunch.
“It"s
an
annual
ritual
on
my
birthday,
and
one
I
won"t
miss
for
the
world.
This
time
one
of
my
sisters
was
not
here
for
my
birthday.
She"s
studying.
We
really
missed
her.
But
my
parents
and
my
other
sister,
brother-in-law
and
nephew
were
home
for
my
birthday."
John
was
not
invited
to
the
family
lunch.
As
far
as
birthdays
go
there"s
a
serious
problem
between
Bipasha
and
John.
While
John
hates
birthdays
and
all
the
accompanying
rituals,
Bipasha
loves
every
bit
of
the
attention
on
her
birthday.
Hence,
while
John
went
into
hiding
on
his
birthday
last
month
(Decemeber
17)
Bipasha
basked
in
all
the
attention.
“John
runs
the
other
way
when
it
comes
to
cutting
cakes.
I
spent
my
whole
birthday
cutting
cakes
with
different
groups
of
family
members
and
friends.
I
couldn"t
take
all
the
calls
and
smses.
But
I
answered
all
of
them
on
the
day
after
my
birthday.
When
I
returned
from
Delhi
my
house
was
filled
with
flowers.
You"ve
no
idea
how
wonderful
flowers
look
in
a
newly-renovated
house.
My
home
was
fragrant
and
attractive.
My
two
sweet
maidservants
had
arranged
all
the
bouquets
all
over
the
house."
Bipasha
is
hoping
for
a
productive
year.
“There
isn"t
much
work
happening.
The
scripts
floating
around
are
mostly
mediocre.
I
can"t
bring
myself
to
do
sub-standard
work.
Hopefully
I"ll
sign
something
exciting
soon.
But
I"m
certainly
not
sitting
at
home.
I"m
constantly
on
my
toes
doing
one
thing
or
another,
too
busy
to
twiddle
my
thumbs."
