Aahana to spend birthday visiting Rumi s roots
Actress Aahana Kumra wants to celebrate her birthday on Tuesday by visiting 13th-century poet Rumi s hometown in Istanbul.
Being a lover of poetry Aahana has been taking a lot of interest in the renowned poet s writings.
Aahana said in a statement: "Travelling in the past few years by myself has made me realise that I m in the best company possible because when you travel solo you realise a lot of things about yourself that you otherwise don t understand because when you are travelling with other people you tend to go on other people s plans."
"On my birthday I chose a place from where Rumi comes from because there is a cosmic connection that I have found. I m a very hectic sort of a person and I believe he has helped me calm down. When I read his writings it really calms me down. So I m really excited to go and see this magical place " she added.
