The phrase “beauty with brains” is what comes to mind when we look at the gorgeous Mawra Hocane. This gorgeous gal just turned 27, and we decided to take her down memory lane to ask her 27 fun filled questions about what birthdays have been like for her over the years. From the time she was 8, to now when she is 27, see all the big birthday highlights in her life:
1.What is the earliest birthday you remember?
My 8th! I celebrated it at school. I had scored really well that year so my vice principal and teachers along with my class fellows celebrated it for me.
2.How old were you when you first had a customised cake on your birthday?
I had it for my 18th birthday! My mother knew I really wanted it so she planned it with my best friends.
3.What was your favourite toy as a child?
As cliche as it may sound, it was ALL of my dolls, not just one, haha.
4.Were you more into barbie dolls and doll houses or doctor sets and remote control cars?
Ah, doll houses and barbie dolls all the way!
5.Did you ever dress up in costumes for your birthday? If yes, what did you dress up as?
I wore a tiara for my 18th with a dress my aunt sent from Germany. I don’t think I’ve ever dressed as something but just customised birthdays.
6.Have birthdays always been a big affair in your family or a close knit gathering?
They’ve always been big for me. I am the one who celebrates it for everyone in the house . I think I make it into a bigger deal than it is but I love the surprised faces I get to see.
7.What did you do for your birthday when you finally became a teenager at 13?
I celebrated it with my best friends in an army mess. It was big deal then to throw a party.
8.What did you do for your sweet sixteen?
Strangely this was one birthday I didn’t do much for . I think we were moving houses so I celebrated it with my mum and siblings only .
9.If you could go back, what would you do differently for your sixteenth birthday?
I think I would celebrate it as it’s the only year I didn’t.
10.How did you celebrate the end of your teenage years when you turned 18?
it was a big dine out with all my friends and family & an over dressed me, haha.
11.When you turned 18, what did you aspire to become as an adult – what were your career aspirations and did they come true?
I wanted to be a doctor merely because I had scored a lot in my pre-med but I am so glad God had some other plans for me.
12.What were your plans for your 21st birthday celebration?
I had newly become an actor then so my BBFs threw me a party with that actors cake every actor gets atleast once in their life. It was really warm celebratory night!
13.Regular candles or sparkler candles, which ones do you prefer?
Sparkler
14.How do you like to start your day on your birthday?
I’ve been to old age homes on my birthday mornings. It teaches me gratitude and helps me find happiness in everything.
