Prime amongst them included Anil Dharker who came in accompanied by daughter Ayesha Dharker.
Ayesha talked at length about her appreciation for art, With dad being so taken in by art and with veteran artists frequenting our place, it’s no wonder that I grew up steeped in art and hence learnt appreciating its finer nuances though I’m not a technical expert on the same she laughed even as she and her father looked around marvelling at the oriental influence in Sunaina’s works.

Actor Parikshit Sahani was a surprise visitor at the show who claimed to be quite an admirer of good art.
