It's party time for Priyanka!!!

There's much reason for happiness in Priyanka's place. This week both Priyanka and her brother Siddharth turn a year older.

Laughs Priyanka, "Yes, it's party time for us. My kid-brother Siddharth celebrates his birthday on 12 July while my birthday is six days later on the 18th."

So a joint celebration for the Chopra siblings?

"I'd love to," exults the doting Didi. "But Siddharth is turning 18 and he wants to bring in his birthday in a big way with his friends. So Siddharth will have a big party of his own."

The surprise bash at the Chopras' would be the one Priyanka is planning on her own birthday for the first time.

"That's true.I've never had any kind of party ever since I came into this industry. Friends keep teasing me about it. I'm not a party person. Believe it or not, I'm shy of crowds. Also, the past few years have hardly given me reason to feel like celebrating," Priyanka's voice gets distant as she recalls her father's serious illness.

Perking up she says, "Yeah I'm having a birthday party for the first time. Not a huge one. Just 40-50 close friends and family. That's all."

Getting reflective she says, "I can't believe how much time has passed. I'm suddenly feeling old! Seriously. Professionally I've no reason to complain. At home we've gone through some turbulent times. Hopefully we're out of it."
