Kamya Punjabi
Kavita Kaushik's close friends did just this, thrilling her on her birthday on Wednesday. The key conspirator was Kavita's best friend, Kamya Punjabi. "I had to make sure Kavita was unaware about the party, or else there would be no surprise.
So, I made Karan (Grover) take her out shopping, while I went buying balloons, confetti, candles and other decorations. I also had to call all the other guys and tell them to be at the venue (Kavita's house) before she got in," recalls Kamya.
Karan's updates
As planned, Punjabi got the cake and the other stuff. "Karan kept messaging me from time to time, informing me where they were. So I knew I had to hurry. Finally, when Kavita opened the door and saw the balloons and cake, she was thrilled.
Kavita suspected
Apart from Kamya, Kavita's other actor friends there were Ritu Raj, Sachin Verma, Samir Kocchar, among others. When contacted, Kavita said, "I actually knew something was brewing, because none of these guys called me on my birthday.
Not only was I suspicious, but also inquisitive to know what was cooking behind my back. The moment I walked into my house and saw Kamya and everyone else, it felt amazing. After a long time, I had one of the best birthday parties ever."
Special Valentine
To add to the celebration was the fact that a day before, she spent Valentine's Day with boyfriend Karan Grover. Refusing to divulge details she said, "It was the best time ever. Karan really made it special, every moment of was something I'll remember for a long time."
Now that the fun's over, Kaushik is back to work. The actress is all set to shoot for Star One's Darna Mana Hai. "I love spooky thrillers and suspense. So, it will be fun to be a part of this show."
