A ‘sweet and simple’ birthday for Erica

- Titas Chowdhury

Iwould have loved to travel if Covid-19 hadn’t hit us,” says Erica Fernandes, who turns 27 today. With the lockdown still in effect, her big day won’t be an “elaborate” affair. She shares, “It’s going to be a sweet and simple affair at home with my family. I’ll cook some of my favourite dishes. I’ll also disconnect myself a bit from social media and the outside world.”

Ask her about her birthday wish and the Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor says, “My birthday wish this year is to just get out of this phase, hale and hearty. And hopefully, I’ll get back to work soon and do what I love doing best, again.”

Fernandes feels, at this time of a health pandemic, staying fit should be everyone’s priority. “I’m ensuring that my physical and mental fitness levels are on point. During times like these, when you can lose your sanity, it’s better to focus on doing something that’s beneficial for yourself,” she says.

“Yoga is a really good way to fight this panic. It helps maintain physical fitness as well as mental well-being. Luckily for me, I also have my YouTube channel to work on, which keeps me quite occupied. I don’t even realise when I begin and end my day,” the actor signs off.
