Stars at the Times Food Guide 2017

Celebs flocked to the dining area after the launch of

Times Food

Guide, 2017, and the Times Food and Nightlife Awards, 2017, where they were seen going through the massive spread laid out by the winners. Most guests ditched their diet for the evening to indulge in all that was on offer. “I am generally good at resisting temptation, but not enough to say no to such awesome desserts. I love food and this was my cheat day for December,” said Rahul Rajasekharan, Mr India first runner-up, 2015. Actor

Tilak Shekar

said, “There is so much food that I am confused about where to start.” The party also gave foodies an excuse to catch up with one another and be happy high.

Sanjjanaa

was spotted with her new bestie,

Youth Congress

activist

Jenith Aiyappa

. While everybody made birthday girl Parvatii Nair feel special by singing wishes to her, Imran Sardhariya broke into an impromptu dance.
We spotted comedians Sanjay Manaktala, Praveen Kumar and

Ahmed Shariff

pulling each other’s legs. Vijay Suriya and Chandan chatted non-stop; Shashank Purushotham and

Arun Sagar

hung out together. Sheetal Sharma, Priyanka Diwan and Nisar Ahmed were seen bonding over food. We spotted

Waseem Khan

, a food connoisseur, taking time to decide on what to choose from the multiple options. And he wasn’t the only one. All of Bengaluru’s glam brigade did just that. After so much food, an after-party was all that was needed, and Rajshri Ponnappa gladly hosted one for her close friends Tilak, Pannaga Bharana, Dhananjaya and

Baadal Nanjundaswamy

at her room in

ITC Gardenia

, the venue of the hottest party of the year.
