Smita Bansal, better known to us as ‘Sumitra’ of the renowned Balika Vadhu fame got a full fledged surprise yesterday mid-night dated 20th February, 2009. It was her birthday the other day and Smita had no plans of shooting on that day. Unfortunately there was a shooting schedule required her to be there and poor Smita had no option but to come for the shoot. We heard the whole story from the horse’s mouth itself.
Smita recalls, “I was in a bad mood when I came to know that I had to be there at the shoot yesterday. It is sad for me to that I wasn’t spared even on my birthday”, says the unhappy Smita.
This is certainly not the end of the story, if any of you guys are thinking so, because the Creative Head and Supervising producer of the show had something else in their mind.

I never expected they would contact me and call my husband as well. On seeing him and my daughter I just could not control my emotions. It was a truly wonderful experience and a life long remembering birthday,” shares the smiling actress.
