White Christmas party in Mumbai

doweshowbellyad=0; DJ Aqeel, Farah Khan Ali and Jackie Shroff (TOI Photo)The hot news is that DJ Aqeel Ali has now one more responsibility — he’s been appointed social ambassador of a luxury vodka brand.
So, there he was all dressed up in virginal white, welcoming guests to a party in the burbs that he co-hosted with Ashwin Deo (also in white).
Yes, luxury white was the dress code of the night at the White Christmas party on Friday.It was quite a sight in white with a white faux fur carpet taking you into a white wonderland with décor in all-white complete with white Christmas trees, white walls, white lounge settees, hostesses in silvery white spreading their cheer all around as they encouraged you to try out the vodka shots.
And at the bar there were martinis with a twist including one called Aqeeltini with citrus vodka, muddled with cucumber, mint, lime and sugar, shaken, strained and topped with a splash of champagne. Just what the doctor ordered on a sweltering night – actually, freezing night since it was a White Christmas! To top it all there were some aphrodisiacal bites like oysters and sushi — simply sinful. And getting into the groove were guests like Jackie Shroff (who defaulted by wearing black), Farah Khan (also in black), Chunky Pandey, Maheka Mirpuri and husband Amrit Narendra Kumar with a canary yellow vest peeping out of his white jacket with hundreds of girls emblazoned on it.
We suppose he wanted to give the impression he was a ladies’ man. Yes, Kadambari Lakhani was also around. Others spotted at the do were Kush Medhora in complete white (yes, white shoes, too), singer Nic, couple-around-town Naaz and Remu Javeri, hotelier Rohit Khosla and Arjun Khanna in a designer white ensemble.
