Karan Johar hosts singles-only Valentine’s Day bash. Love takes a beating. See pics

Karan Johar invites Sonakshi Sinha, Ekta Kapoor, Athiya Shetty, Manish Malhotra and Sussanne Khan to his singles-only Valentine’s Day party. Their message is clear- love is overrated.

Karan Johar’s Valentine’s Day party had a special place for love – as a butt of all jokes. The 45-year-old father of two kept up with the tradition of inviting his single friends from the industry to a party where love is politely asked to take a hike. On the guest list were Sonakshi Sinha, Ekta Kapoor, Athiya Shetty, Manish Malhotra and Sussanne Khan.

Karan Johar’s singles-only Valentine’s Day party had Sonakshi Sinha, Ekta Kapoor, Athiya Shetty, Manish Malhotra and Sussanne Khan in attendance.

Many of the faces from last year were missing -- Malaika Arora, Harshvardhan Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Shraddha Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez. While some found love, others were busy with their work. What didn’t change at the party were sly digs at all things pink and red, sample these jibes -- ‘Roses are Red and Shit’, ‘V for Vodka’ and ‘Love Disappoints, Pizza is eternal’. The best was the slogan Karan wore proudly on his shirt -- ‘No space for ex-lovers’.

The host had tweeted this earlier in the day: “Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world! It works best when it’s unconditional... When it’s ego free. When it’s not too dependant on expectation and most importantly when it’s foundation is trust! Happy Valentine’s Day.”
