What are Padmanabha Dasgupta’s birthday plans?

Birthday boy Padmanabha Dasgupta is spending time with his family on his special day. “It is a government holiday for

Chhath

Puja, so I am at home with my wife and son. I woke up late today and then had an elaborate breakfast made by my wife,

Lopamudra

. Lunch, too, was in keeping with the tradition of our home where we have five types of vegetable fries, shukto, macher matha diye dal, macher matha bhaja, chicken

biryani

and payesh. After that, I took a nap for an hour. In the evening, the three of us are going to a café. At night, we will go somewhere to have Chinese food for dinner. I am overwhelmed that so many people from the industry, as well as my friends and relatives, are calling to wish me. Today morning, Koel (Mallick) messaged me and said that Mitin Mashi got so much appreciation because I wrote it well. I told her I tried to pen it well, but it was she who gave shape to Mitin Mashi,” said Padmanabha.

Any birthday resolutions, we ask the scriptwriter-cum-actor. “At this age, one can only ask for good health and the strength to work better, so that I can entertain my audience with good relatable content. I don’t have many vices, but I smoke at times. I don’t buy cigarettes on my own. I borrow them from others. In fact, Rudranil (Ghosh) always pulls my leg saying that he always keeps two cigarettes reserved for me,” said Padmanabha with a smile.

On the work front, he is busy scripting Indraadip Das Gupta’s Bismillah .
