When Manmohan Shetty’s daughter Pooja Shetty threw a party for Karan Johar’s 41st birthday at her Juhu residence, it was meant to be a private affair – which in Bollywood-speak means for closest buddies. The party began at 9 pm, and had the guests grooving to
Badtameez Dil and
Balam Pichkari till late night. The first to arrive was
Kajol (minus hubby Ajay Devgn) and other guests included
Ranbir Kapoor and
Katrina Kaif (who came in the same car and were dancing together as well),
Deepika Padukone (who gave the lovebirds a wide berth),
Parineeti Chopra and
Ranveer Singh (the only ones who posed for shutterbugs), Anurag Kashyap and Kalki Koechlin (who seemed colour coordinated),
Malaika Arora, Chunky Pandey, to name a few.
Interestingly, though their better halves were there, Shah Rukh Khan and
Hrithik Roshan were conspicuous by their absence. As were Rani Mukerji and Priyanka Chopra.
Akshay Kumar came, wished and left. Sohail Khan, who is rarely seen partying outside his own circle, also turned up. Aamir Khan, revealed a guest, came in shorts and slippers. “The highlight of the party was the music and the food,” a guest revealed. “Pooja Shetty took such good care of all the guests. And from the outside, no one would come to know that there is a party happening. It was well guarded. Thankfully, no cops turned up!”
