Celina Jaitley brought in her birthday (November 24) with a bang in Mauritius amidst great merry-making.

Says a source, “Celina always cribs that her birthdays are never special and it is an unlucky time. But this year, she got a pleasant surprise."

Continues the source, “On the sets of Kumar Mangat"s film Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, the cast members threw a big party after pack-up for her.

Govinda sang the old tracks like Happy Birthday and Tum Jiyo Hazaron Saal while Aftab Shivdasani danced.

Govinda also shook a leg to songs like Kissi Disco Mein Jaaye. Celina was so touched by everyone"s gestures that she broke down.

Best time

Celina admits, “It was an emotional moment. I have never had any surprises on my birthdays. All of them have been eventless so I never look forward to my special day. This was my best.

I was touched by the way everyone went out of the way for me. Kumarji organised the party while everyone from Govinda to Manoj (Bajpai) sang songs.

It was cute of Govinda to sing Tum Jiyo Hazaro Saal for me." Director Ganesh Acharya and Hanssika who features in the film were also present at the bash.

Producer Kumar Mangat, too, celebrated his birthday on the same day, “Celina and I celebrated our birthdays together this year. She got very emotional and started crying.

She said her surprise party was the best gift. We"d planned a get-together at the Labouzel Hotel where we are staying. The party rocked till 2 am."
