Naseeruddin Shah turned 71 on July 20, and he was very candid about what that meant to him. Thoughts of mortality have been in my head since I turned 50, he tells Subhash K Jha.

'I want to get more work done before my time is up'

What did your birthday mean to you?

Each birthday mainly means the tolling of the bell! I was shooting in the day and in the evening, my children and a few close friends gathered to celebrate while I sat around as sober as a judge and watched indulgently.

What are your childhood recollections of your birthday?

In my childhood, we never celebrated birthdays as we'd be in school.

At the most, a card and an extra rupee for pocket money would arrive from home.

We are living through uncertain times. You recently went though a health scare. What are you thoughts on mortality and immortality through one's art?
