By the end of September begins the season of cutting cakes and blowing out birthday candles in Bollywood. In the last one week alone, the industry has witnessed the birthdays of as many as six stars - Kareena Kapoor (Sept 21), Divya Dutta (Sept 25), Dev Anand (Sept 26), Yash Chopra (Sept 27), Lata Mangeshkar (Sept 28) and Ranbir Kapoor (Sept 28).
With the sun presently in Libra constellation in the sky, there are some big Libran birthdays coming up. The first one that comes to mind is that of Amitabh Bachchan (on October 11). By a strange coincidence, the birthday of Rekha falls a day before - that is on October 10. Both the stars exhibit typical Libran qualities - indecisiveness, charisma and patience.
A few days later, Hema Malini will turn a year older (not that she looks her age) on October 16. The shy and reclusive Sunny Deol will celebrate his birthday with family on October 19.
The cake-cutting season will continue with birthdays of other Librans like Sanjay Kapoor (Oct 17), Om Puri (Oct 18) and Shammi Kapoor (Oct 21).
And as the sun moves to the next constellation (Scorpio) in the sky, the month of November will begin with two big birthdays - that of Aishwarya Rai (Nov 1) and Shahrukh Khan (Nov 2).
I bet the confectioners have ample cakes and candles ready.
