Q. Happy Birthday, Isha! How are you celebrating your special day this year?

A. I celebrate my birthday more or less the same way every year. I have a whole lot of friendssome from college and school and then social friends I've made over the years. And so I normally have two to three different gatherings on my birthday. I have my inner circle, my parents, and Rihanna, of course. Rihanna is there in every gang and in every get-to-gether and every celebration. So this is how I celebrate my birthday every year. I also go to the mandir.
