ZAREEN IS NOT MAKING ‘EXTRA EFFORT’ TO KEEP BUSY

Iam always super excited for my birthday,” says Zareen Khan, who turns 33 today. With the lockdown still in effect, she says that her big day won’t be an “elaborate” affair. As she’s all set to celebrate her birthday in quarantine, she shares, “May is my birthday month but since we are all confided at home, we can’t really do much. With Ramzan going on, I don’t really have any plans. I believe it’s going to be a sweet and simple affair at home.”

Khan says that she always brings in her birthday with her mother. “I make sure she is around me when the clock strikes 12. She has been my constant source of inspiration and I am very connected to her. And even my sister has been a constant part of my special day,” she says, adding how the lockdown has taught her a lot of things. “We have started to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. We would constantly be busy and prioritise our work. My family stays with me but I don’t remember when was the last time I sat with them to have a proper meal or just chat or gossip. But we are eating all the meals together now,” the 1921 (2018) actor says.

She adds, “I am not making a conscious effort to keep busy. I wake up late and do all the household activities, including jhaadu-pocha-bartan. Work is distributed between me, my sister and mom. After Iftari (breaking the Ramzan fast), I watch online videos to learn new things. I have recently started my Youtube channel, so I make videos for that as well,” she says.
