“Many people assumed that seven was a lucky number for me at first. It was initially for a very simple reason: I was born on July 7th. The seventh day of the seventh month is the seventh day of the seventh month. Rather than delving into what number is a good number, that was the purpose. I stated that I would chose my date of birth “.

“… and then people kept asking me. So, I kept adding to that answer. 7/7 and then again, the year is 81. 8-1 is 7. It was a very neutral number. What people kept telling me, I absorbed it. When other people ask me, I give the answer accordingly. Seven is a neutral number, it doesn’t go against you. So, I added that also in my answer. I am not very superstitious about it but it’s one number that is close to my heart. So, I’ve kept it with me,”.
