Exclusive Interview! Pranutan Bahl: I have always been excited about my birthday – Times of India
How are you celebrating your birthday
?
So the first half I spent it with my parents, sister and closest friends,. It was wonderful as all of us caught up as a group after a really long time because 2020 was the year that it was. And tonight, I am most probably stepping out for another amazing meal.
Have you always been excited about your birthday?
Yes, because I think the people around me are so sweet, especially my family and parents and my sister, they always make sure I am excited, you know by hyping it up and giving me all the hints of what they are gifting me and what they have planned for me.
Any birthday ritual that you have been following?
The birthday ritual that I follow is to be with my family, and that’s of utmost importance. One celebration together is very, very important and I follow that.
Fond memories of celebrating your birthday in school or college?
I think the school memories would be like taking your best friend around the whole school to distribute sweets and chocolates to teachers and everyone in the staff room. And adding to that missing your classes which were fun and dressing up in casual clothes, making your hair nicely, leaving it open, (we had that option when it was our birthday), all these school memories are always beautiful.
The best birthday gift you have received from your parents?
The best gift my parents have given me are the values, the upbringing and the character they instilled in me. And of course, they also give me materialistic gifts like this year I got a phone from my parents and lots of other gifts.
Tell us something about your upcoming film, ‘Helmet’?
It’s an absolutely fun-loving movie. It’s quirky and will make you laugh your heart out. Not only that, but it will also make you think. Personally, what I like about ‘Helmet’ is that a beautiful thing is conveyed in a non-preachy way. I am very excited about ‘Helmet’ as an actor as well as a viewer.
