‘I wanted to be married before 30’

At 29 today, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh is in search of his perfect partner. Says that the only only thing that didn’t work out as per his plan was finding the partner and getting married.

Saturday nights meant parties and socialising, though not anymore,” says birthday boy Neil Nitin Mukesh who turns 29 today. The actor has quit all vices and, hence, finds it difficult to socialise. “I’m happy I got rid of all the bad habits early in my life but sometimes, when I’m with friends or just out to socialise, I feel a bit left out,” he chuckles.

The actor is expecting his mother to be back in town today to be with him on his

janamdin

(birthday). “If she doesn’t come back, it’ll be a boys’ club at home with dad, my brother and me. We haven’t watched a movie together in a while. So, hopefully, we will be lunching together and then go catch

and

. I’m keen on watching both,” Neil smiles. “Evening will be dedicated to friends who I haven’t met in a long time. They’re my school buddies, now married and domesticated.”

Hasn’t Neil’s ‘Married Men Club’ asked him to tie the knot as well? “What makes you think they haven’t?” he laughs. “But they understand me well. They’ve been supportive. As teenagers, we had planned that we’d start working at a certain age and marry before we’re 30. The only thing that didn’t work out as per my plan was finding the partner and getting married.”
