India, Nov. 3 -- As Shanaya Kapoor turns a year older today, she feels overwhelmed as it marked her first year in the films as an actor with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan having released in July. "It's been a very special year and one of my school friends reminded me of a promise I made to them. She told me that I had promised them that when my film comes out, that year, I will celebrate my birthday," she shares, adding that she is not one about lavish birthday celebrations. "I wanted to do it when my film comes out, so now I have to. I definitely will have a nice dinner with all my girls on my birthday. Her call reminded me that this is a special year that I should celebrate."

While it's said that on birthdays you get a year 'older and wiser'...
