It’s the first day of the year and it’s time to look forward to the positives that 2017 can bring. We asked four celebs to share what their hopes are for what the next twelve months will bring.
Varun Tej, actor
While I don’t have a goal in specific, I haven’t had a release in 2016 and I am looking forward to my films releasing now. So much work has been going on and it would be great for all that to finally reach the audiences. My life is perfect the way it is now and there’s no change that I want to bring about for sure!

V.V.S. Laxman, former cricketer
My goal is to continue to build, develop and nurture talent across the education and sports field.

Jwala Gutta, badminton player
I am not the person who relates much with the concept of New Year resolutions. My main aim is to be happy. Also, I would definitely want to try to do something for women. Right now, I am in a very happy space of mind. But, yes all my relatives are looking forward to me getting settled down soon. So, let’s see. Apart from that, I would really like to dabble with some other sport in 2017 other than badminton.

Hebah Patel, actress
The only major change I want to make this year is taking my work a lot more seriously than I do now. Not that I haven’t been doing it so far but the last one year just went off very breezily. I took things as they came. It wasn’t an issue with the focus or the hard work because I was putting in all of that anyway. I just need to be serious about what I am doing. I don’t really have a specific goal to fulfill in 2017. Because even if I plan anything and achieve it by 2018, it wouldn’t make sense! Would it?
