Kratika Sengar who portrays Jhansi Ki Rani in Zee TV's show which goes with the same title, is having a fun time during her birthday in spite of not getting an off!

Says Kratika's brother Anurag, "She is working today also. But she's pretty cool about it. She knows that it's her priority. Mom and Dad are in Kanpur and only I'm here on the sets with her. Since she shouldn't feel too blue about being away from parents, her friends from Mumbai have come on the sets to spend time with her."

Kratika sounded chirpier than usual and it was evident she didn't let a 'working day' dampen her spirits. She says, "Thank you so much for wishing me. I haven't made any plans yet but I have a feeling my friends have a surprise in store for me. I'm leaving for Mumbai with them in the evening."

Kratika instead of getting birthday bumps got something else. She excitedly tells us, "Sameer Dharmadhikari keeps pulling my nose playfully. So today when he pulled my nose I took it as my biorthday bump with a twist!"

We wish Kratika a superb year ahead!
