Away from city's hustle, PaviJaz are spending some quality time amidst nature. Talking about celebrating his 46th brthday, Eijaz told in a statement that Pavitra planned a surprise for him.
"I turned 46...wow! Turning 40 was a milestone, and now I am on the other side of 45, I should be older and wiser. But, I think I am going in the opposite direction," he laughed before adding, "Pavitra had a surprise planned for me. We are in Coorg in the natural surroundings. I love to connect with nature."

The Bigg Boss 14 contestant added that he gets uncomfortable with all the attention he gets on birthdays. "As in ‘Ohhh today is birthday’ I have to do something special, I have to stand out, I have to do something outstanding etc… when I am compelled to do something it kind of puts me off, if things happen naturally I like it more. This is the first birthday that I will be spending with Pavitra, so I am looking forward to it. I don’t know, maybe we will be travelling, we may go to a forest reserve or we can go camping, things have opened up. I generally take bike rides on my birthdays and have gone for many solo trips with my friends. This time I still don’t know what I am doing."
Remembering his fondest birthday memories from childhood, Eijaz shared, "I remember we used to visit a photo studio before the birthday party so that we have a photo clicked on the occasion. A lot of powder used be put on my face and they made me stand in front of the camera and take a picture. It was fun. We would get new clothes during birthdays and I used to be very excited about that gift. I remember one time I got Power sports shoes and it was a huge deal back then."
So has the meaning of birthday changed post 40 for Eijaz? He quickly added, "As much as we say age is just a number, I think when you get older, you sort of tell yourself to pause, reflect, figure out what is the real meaning of life and pursue the same that because I think we are done with the mistakes that we did when we are younger, we are done with figuring ourselves now know our shortcoming, and our positives too. I now think of making everyday matters and taking more risks. I think these are the things that have changed for me."
He signed off saying, "I think stagnation comes when we become a little more sensible. Having said that I keep making mistakes, I am still learning. I will always be a student. I am still on the move."
