Govinda celebrates 47th birthday

MUMBAI: It's Govinda's 47th birthday today, and he is going to have quite a day, that his kids, Narmmadaa and Yash have ensured.

In fact, celebrations began last night, when the family rang in his birthday over a sumptuous dinner. Today's plans include a private family lunch. Says Narmmadaa, "Dad's not very fond of Continental, so we've zeroed in on a nice place that serves great Chinese cuisine, and we'll be cutting the cake after lunch. It's a private family get-together."

The brother-sister duo then plan to gift daddy a surprise birthday present. "We've have been doing it for three years now. Since he's very fond of gadgets we gifted him a smart phone last year. This year, well, it's a surprise, so we aren't disclosing now."

Govinda, who was earlier set to fly to London on his birthday, for a solo vacation, has now postponed the plans. After the family lunch, Govinda is set to fly to Kolkata, "I am going there for a show, and will be visiting a few temples there on my birthday," he told.
