As Bollywood’s dancing icon Prabhu Dheva turns 40 today, he says he has no time to brood over his loneliness. “Of course I’d like someone in my life. And of course when I go home in the evening I wish there was someone waiting for me, but very honestly, I don’t have the time to be lonely. My work fills up most of my day and when I get home I just want to sleep. As for company, I’ve some good friends in Mumbai and Chennai.”
For his birthday, Prabhu flew home to Chennai to be with his two sons and very close friends. The actor-filmmaker says, “These are friends with whom I go back a long way, from outside and the film industry. I haven’t met some of them for over a year because of my hectic schedules. I will be with them on my birthday. No party. Just a quiet get-together.”
On turning 40, Prabhu adds, “I’ve heard that life starts at 40. I wouldn’t know until I get there. I suspect 40 would just be another number. I have never allowed myself to stop and consider my age. I’ve always been on the move.”
Looking back on the year that was, Prabhu admits it has been a busy one. “I am wearing a number of hats and I’ve had to move to Mumbai because of the workload in Hindi cinema. While I love dancing and even acting in ABCD was fun, I remain at heart a choreographer.”
Talking about his success run, he says, “I guess I am lucky. I’ve been working just as hard from the time I started 25 years ago. So I can’t say it’s hard work that has suddenly got me so much work in Mumbai. It’s a lot of luck and some hard work. I am glad to be in demand as a director.”
Prabhu flies back to Mumbai immediately after his birthday. “I am enjoying the work-load. Looking back at my 40 years I see no reason to complain. God has been kind. Yes, there have been setbacks. But I’ve survived.”
