/> On 20th August Randeep Hooda had an unexpected birthday gift. Thousands of prisoners of the Thane Central Jail sang Happy Birthday to Randeep.

"It was most touch and most moving. I can't think of a better gift...unless Angelina Jolie popped out of a cake. Jokes aside, I was deeply moved.

My director Vishram Sawant and I were shooting the end-portions of Risk in the prison, when they got to know that it was my birthday they all sang for me. I don't know of anyone else who has got this gift. Ain't I a lucky sod?"

On the night before Randeep ushered in his birthday. "With lots of good friends, chocolate cake, my saxophone. I had myself a great time. All the people who matter to me were there with me. Can't think of a better way to bring in my birthday."

So how does it feel to be 30? "Scary, man! I can no longer say I'm pushing 30 or I'm in my late 20s. My youth is gone! I feel like I'm born again at 30. I think a new phase of my life has begun this birthday. I've just finished work on one film, and going into the next. I've never felt happier, more at peace with myself."
