Tena said that it was a perfect pre-birthday celebration.
Actress Tina Desai, who has a pivotal role in forthcoming Hollywood film The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, was in for a pleasant surprise, when the cast of the movie showered her with gifts.
The actress got the gifts when she went to London for the film's editing last week. Tena, who will celebrate her birthday on February 24, feels that the gesture is special and a perfect pre-birthday celebration.
"I didn't expect this at all. For them to remember my birthday and make me feel so special was the best feeling. The amount of love I have received in this short span is totally overwhelming. I'm lucky to have such amazing people around me," she said in a statement.
Actress Celia Imrie gifted her a giant hand painted card, which had a peacock on it.
Directed by John Madden,
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel also features Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Richard Gere and Lillete Dubey in important roles.
