Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who turned 53 today, took to Twitter to slam the ritual of being wished on one's birthday.

"My so called Happy Birthday is being made a very unhappy Birthday by inundating it with fake and reasonless luv. I any day prefer the hate. Neither the best wishes of my well wishers will make my birthday better nor the curses of my haters will make it worse (sic)," he tweeted.
