DIANA LIKES TO TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES

The actor celebrates her birthday today but says she doesn’t believe in planning ahead

Many people plan their birthday celebrations days and months in advance. But actor Diana Penty isn’t one of them. The actor turns a year older today, and surprisingly, she says that she will make plans after waking up on her birthday. “I don’t have any birthday plans, nor am I one of those [people] who start a countdown like five days or a week before. I am a chilled out person; I take life spontaneously. So, I will decide what can be done once I wake up, But yes I will spend the day with my family for sure,” she says. Although Diana confesses that she isn’t a birthday person, she never forgets to take full advantage of her special day. “What I love the most is on that day, I can shirk away responsibilities and get away with it. And I start enjoying this freedom a day ahead. So when my mum tells me ‘Diana do this or do that’, I tell her that I am not doing anything, it’s my birthday tomorrow,” she laughs. Diana shares her birthday with actor Shah Rukh Khan. “It’s like a birthday thunder stealer,” she jokes before adding, “On a serious note, it feels special when you share your birthday with someone as successful as him. And it inspires and motivates me to do well.” Taking this opportunity, Diana says she wants to wish SRK: “Happy Birthday SRK! Wishing you good health, happiness and limitless success! Here’s to many more years of entertaining us!”
