Actor Mithila Palkar celebrated her 33rd birthday on Sunday, marking the occasion with her signature preference for intimate, low-key gatherings. In a conversation with ANI, the actress revealed that she planned a relaxed day at home, surrounded by close friends and family, focusing on good food and simple joys rather than grand parties.
A Homebody's Birthday Celebration
Mithila Palkar described herself as a homebody who enjoys chilled-out celebrations. For the last 2-3 years, her birthday routine has involved loved ones gathering at her home. "All my friends come home. My parents, my family come home, and we chill. We cut a cake, and we eat good food. That's all," she shared. This year, however, the celebrations carried an extra layer of excitement as it coincides with the promotional week for her upcoming film.
"This year, it's a working birthday, but the celebrations have doubled as it's my birthday and also the release week of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos," Mithila stated. Since morning, social media has been flooded with warm birthday wishes for the actress from fans and colleagues alike.
Reflecting on a Dream Career with Gratitude
As she steps into a new year, Mithila took a moment to reflect on her journey in the entertainment industry. She expressed profound gratitude for being able to live her childhood dream. "I look at it with a lot of gratitude. I wanted to be an actor. That was a dream, and the fact that I am getting to live my dream is just too surreal," she told ANI.
She acknowledged every person who has guided and mentored her along the way, stating that every contribution, big or small, has been significant. Calling her career a "joy ride," Mithila's heartfelt reflection highlighted her appreciation for the path she has walked.
'Kavya' from 'Little Things' Remains Closest to Her Heart
When speaking about the roles that have defined her, Mithila Palkar singled out Kavya from the beloved web series Little Things. She described it as her most formative character. "I do want to say that Kavya has been the closest to me... This is a character I have lived with the longest, and I have grown with her in its true sense," she fondly recalled.
She reminisced about the humble beginnings of the show, where the entire team was new and had no expectations of the immense love it would eventually receive. Little Things is a gift that keeps on giving, a show that has stuck with audiences and one for which the team remains eternally grateful.
