Quiet birthdays can be fun too

Ever since his astrologer advised him to lie low this year, Riku Rakesh Nath is deliberately keeping a low profile. Which is why his birthday celebration at his residence the other night didn���t have the usual flamboyance with stars walking in and out. On the contrary, it was more of a family affair, along with a few close school friends and relatives. His sister-in-law Preeti Sapru and brother-in-law Tej Sapru and his wife Lakshmi were among those present. The cake, baked by his daughters Shaina and Dakshina, was cut amidst the family members, followed by a warm home-cooked Kashmiri dinner by wife Reema Rakesh Nath. His son Karan gifted him a hi-tech mobile explaining, ���Every year, he loses a mobile just before his birthday. That���s strange!��� Even though there was no celebration, the house was filled with flowers and gifts that continued pouring in from his friends from the industry throughout the day. And how could Riku���s birthday be complete without wishes from Madhuri Dixit? Yes, the actress called her long time friend from Denver, just to wish him.
