And each year! @manishmalhotra05 just threw the most “intimate” Diwali party with only 200 plus people at his sprawling 5 story Pali Hill home. The tequila flowed endlessly, the stars glittered in sequins, the grazing table looked installation art, Punjabi delicacies were devoured and Shah Rukh Khan danced till dawn. Name another place you can hang out and rub shoulders with King Khan, Akshay Kumar, Nita Ambani, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karan Johar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and a galaxy of A-list movie stars? Not even a film awards show.”
