Turning 50 can feel like a pause button.

But for Eijaz Khan, it's a chance to hit play again. The actor, who celebrates his birthday today, says that hitting the milestone feels like "a mix of pressure and no pressure".

"A big revelation I've had lately is that once you turn fifty, the bulk of your life is likely behind you. I'm okay with this, however, because the best of my time could still be ahead," he tells us, adding that he now chooses to stay away from people who "don't add value" to his life.
