SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

It can't be easy turning 60. When you were 40, you insisted to yourself that you were middle-aged. At 50, you probably considered yourself at your prime. But what excuse can you make at 60? Nothing, except bring out the reading glasses and try to console yourself that by not eating cheese and meat, you really are healthier. I wonder what Jaya Bachchan is thinking as her 60th birthday draws closer? Is she wondering why her son is taking so long to give her a grandchild? Is she remembering the Jaya Bhaduri of old? Is she thinking that she could have done better than Amitabh Bachchan? No one really knows, but we do know that there won't be a lot of tamasha at her birthday. Maybe a cake. A source reports,

"Firstly, she wouldn't have celebrated even if things were normal. But this time with the family mourning her mother-in-law's death, there's no question of any celebration. When you tell her turning 60 is an event she shrugs and says it's just another day."

But the Bachchan's are flying to Miami to see Abhishek, so maybe a day a the beach will make up for the lack of balloons and streamers? Maybe someone should spike her drink...there's nothing like unconsciousness to forget a bad birthday.
