- Kavita Awaasthi

Gurmeet Choudhary is most excited about his birthday as not only his fans, but also his friends and family start the celebratio­ns days ahead of his special day. “I love spending my birthday with fans and even the media, which has been very supportive. This birthday is special as I have lots of projects lined up,” says the actor, who turns 37 today.

He is also looking forward to an eventful 2021 as he will soon be seen in the music video of singer B Praak’s new song and has a thriller, The Wife, releasing as well. Ask him about life goals and he admits, “My dream was to be a film hero. I came from a small town and didn’t know where to start. I feel lucky to have got the chances I did in my career even though I am not the most talented actor or the most good looking. Going forward, I want to do more films, each year. Due to the pandemic, people haven’t seen me act in over a year, though I had signed two films. But they will release soon.” Talking about his plans for the next two years, he shares, “I want to be a superstar, who is also a good actor, that’s my next dream.”

One the personal front, kids, too, are on his mind, but not just yet, he says. “Debina (Bonnerjee, actor) and I want kids, we love kids, but right now, our focus is on work. I thank God for giving me Debina. Everyone works hard but finding the right direction is important. In love, too, sahi pyaar milna zaruri hai (laughs). She helps me fulfil my dreams, and is a wonderful support,” concludes Choudhary.
