Sara Ali Khan, who made a successful debut in Kedarnath and entered the Rs 100 crore club with her second release Simmba, will ring in her 24th birthday today. But if you think she will throw a lavish bash to celebrate it, you couldn’t be more wrong. The actress is currently in Bangkok shooting for the remake of Coolie No.1 alongside Varun Dhawan. Though the makers were willing to give her a day off for her birthday, we hear, the Simmba actress refused it.

A source close to her says, “The makers first asked Sara whether she would want to start her shoot schedule after her birthday but she said no. Then they gave her an option of taking the day off, but she insisted that she would rather work on the special day. Last year, too, she was working on her birthday rehearsing dance all day, as part of a prep for her debut role. Now, since she is abroad, she plans to make a call to her family in the morning. There is a possibility of the makers getting her a cake on the sets.”

Sara flew to Bangkok on Friday and started shooting from Saturday. Before that she had wrapped up the shoot of Love Aaj Kal sequel in which she shares screen space with her rumoured beau Kartik Aaryan.
