This is a year of potential companionship for JIIVA. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, he will be more responsive to the needs of others. If he can be patient and open himself up in a gentle manner, he will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future,” says veteran Astro Strategist cum Movie Astrologer Hirav Shah.

HIrav Shah adds, “Jiiva is going through one of the best phases of his career. His latest film 83 won him tremendous acclaim across the world. As per the planetary positions in his horoscope, his upcoming films Methavi and Golmaal will do very well. He needs to build his fanbase some more before he ventures out into Bollywood full-fledged. His family life will be smooth and he might become a father for the second time soon.
