Your 50th birthday calls for a grand celebration. However, after a few pre-birthday get-togethers with family and friends in the city, Delnaaz Irani chose to jet off to London to celebrate the day (September 4), with her brother, Porus, and his family. She had initially planned to travel with her beau Percy Karkaria, but his visa wasn’t approved in time. A heartbroken Delnaaz was all set to cancel her plan but went on a solo trip at Percy’s insistence.
She says, “Percy and I had been working on the plan for almost a year and he applied for a long leave in advance to travel with me. When everything seemed in place, our plan hit a major roadblock, as Percy’s visa didn’t arrive. I was clear about not travelling without him. But he insisted that I stuck to our plan and that he would follow me when his visa gets approved. I was quite uncomfortable about the prospect of travelling alone but he encouraged me to ‘fly solo’. He wanted me to have a good time and make my 50th birthday memorable. Of course, I missed him on my birthday.”
