Abhishek Bachchan says he will miss his parents badly on his birthday even as wife Aishwarya joined him last night to bring in his special day

Though Abhishek Bachchan will celebrate his 35th birthday today with wife Aishwarya (who is especially flying down to New Zealand to celebrate his birthday) along with his close friends, the two people he will miss a lot are his parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, this year.

He's feeling miserable as Abhishek's extremely attached to his family which includes sister Shweta. He is currently in NZ shooting for Abbas-Mastan's Players.

Talking about the occasion, Abhishek says, "I will miss my parents this time. They can't be here due to their prior obligations, and I too have my work commitments. I would have loved to spend my birthday with them. Lets see what happens."

The buzz is that the senior Bachchans might just fly down to join Abhishek in NZ for his birthday bash. Abhishek's close friends Rohan Sippy and Sikander Kher are also planning to join the birthday celebrations.

For junior B, his birthdays were always special. Abhishek reminisces, "My birthday came during the winter when I was young and studying in Switzerland. There would be lot of skiing activity going around, which was a lot of fun. For the last three years I have been shooting on my birthday and this year too I'm back to my favorite place facing the camera for Players."

Aby baby is not particular about his birthday gifts. "Since childhood both my parents have been great at giving presents! I've never been very good at asking for gifts or knowing what I'd like, although I love presents. I guess I'll be happy with whatever I get this time too."

Abhishek will be working hard on this birthday. Although he loves water sports and all kinds of action sports, he hasn't had the opportunity to do it in New Zealand till now.

He says, "The weather is really unpredictable. So I haven't got the time to do any water sports yet. The shooting has to be worked around according to the weather conditions."
