It
was
meant
to
be
a
quiet
58th
birthday
for
the
ageless
diva
on
Oct
16.
"I
can't
believe
I'm
58!
There's
so
much
more
I
want
to
do
and
time
is
running
out.
The
people
who
are
close
to
me
weren't
here.
Esha
is
away
in
Cape
Town
shooting.
My
brother
is
in
Chennai.
And
Dharamji
is
out
of
the
country
for
important
work.
I
couldn't
expect
everyone
to
put
aside
their
commitments
just
to
be
near
me
on
my
birthday.
But
yes,
my
younger
daughter
Ahana
was
here
and
she
had
a
small
get-together
for
me
in
the
evening.
I'm
not
the
kind
to
stay
awake
the
night
before
to
bring
in
my
birthday."
But if she thought she'd just have a quiet birthday Hema had another thought coming. "The phone started ringing from early morning. And even before that one of my dear friends showed up at 4 am in the morning to wish me. That was so sweet."
The entire home was strewn with bouquets. "Flowers make me very happy. And on top of that I've just returned from a pilgrimage to the chaar-dham. So the atmosphere in my house was quite fragrant."
On the night before her birthday Hema was busy with a long photo-shoot. "A magazine is doing a special on legendary beauties. For some reason they think I'm one of those legendary beauties...I've never thought myself beautiful. Never stopped to think whether I'm beautiful or not. When people say so I still get embarrassed and don't know how to react."
