Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Kriti Sanon said, “I love myself but I think birthdays are overrated. I feel it is a little added pressure of making that day special. And it comes with a lot of expectations. The whole need of doing something on your birthday, I think all of that is very overrated.” She went on to add, “You will get calls where people will be like - what's the plan? And sometimes you don't have a plan. So, you're like, I don't know. But then you suddenly start feeling like, am I supposed to have a plan? Then there is this feeling that my birthday is gone and it feels like I've not done anything.”

Although, Kriti was like any other kid and was excited for her birthday during her childhood days. “I think, as a kid, maybe I used to be excited about my birthday. I used to love surprises. So I love it when someone is planning the surprise, but I don't want to be planning anything. I don't want to take the stress of planning anything on my birthday,” she concluded.

Kriti Sanon also spoke about how more often than not she ends up spending her birthday on phone. “Going through messages to respond to them is tough and tricky. Every year I think I will not be on phone and end up being on it. But now, I'm going to reply to everyone maybe the next day because I feel like you ruin your entire birthday. You're either on Instagram or Twitter replying to people. I know it's important to respond because it's really sweet that people are taking the time to wish you good things. But I feel like mentally you're just on social media and staring at your screen rather than living your life and having actual conversations with people around you, creating real moments. I remember there was this one birthday when I was on phone the entire day and I was frustrated by the end of the day. So now I am not going to do that. In case, you guys get my reply like a day later, please don’t mind.”
