As he turns a year older tomorrow, Sonu Sood recalls how his parents made sure to throw him a huge party on his birthday.

Sonu, who was born in Moga, Punjab, in 1974, said he stopped celebrating his birthday after his parents' death and now prefers being surrounded by his close ones every year.

"I have not been celebrating my birthday since a couple of years. I just spend time with my family. Since I lost my parents, the whole zeal of celebrating birthday fizzled out. I believe celebrations will always be incomplete without them.

"They used to throw great parties on my birthdays, but now I mostly spend my birthdays working. Only few of my close friends come over with a cake and we have dinner together. But otherwise I am not into big celebrations," Sonu told PTI.

The actor said his mother used to take him to the temple on every birthday and he still follows the tradition.

Apart from it, Sonu who has been contributing for the welfare of acid attack survivors, tries to do as much as he can for the society on his birthday.

"I am associated with charities working for acid attack survivors. I am very closely associated with them. We take care of their treatment and surgeries. Doing this gives me a great high on my birthday."
