Ameesha Patel to head to US with eight gal pals next month

Ameesha Patel will celebrate her 34th birthday (June 9) this year with a gang of eight close gal pals in New York. Last year, Ameesha had brought in her birthday at a resort and spa in Hampshire, England with beau Kanav Puri.

Pamper me
The actress loves to be pampered on her special day and always plans ahead. She even maintains a countdown to her birthday. She confesses, "I love to be spoilt on my birthdays."

She has decided to escape to NYC this year, "I am sick of the heat so most probably I won't be throwing any parties but instead might go on a holiday with my girl pals. I am thinking of bringing in my birthday in New York as I also have lots of friends there."

Initially she had planned a spa holiday in Bangkok and Phuket but later she scrapped that, "We are planning to go away for 10 days and currently it's too hot in Bangkok.

We just want to have fun in a place which has pleasant weather. The married girls have promised to leave their husbands behind. We will eat, shop, bitch and let our hair down completely!"

School pal
In New York, she will also meet her school friend Shalini. "She's married with the cutest and most adorable baby. Another friend of mine Shabnam who is joining us has recently delivered a baby.

They are my closest friends since childhood and the most grounded girls. Shalini doesn't even watch Hindi films. Her dream is to own the biggest warehouse of alcohol and her attitude in life is Dabao -- dabake khao! I love spending time with them."
