Thursday was quite the night for parties, ar Star TV too hosted a bash at Indigo that night. And of course, all at Star's producers turned up to let their hair down and enjoy some good wine and food, at Rahul Akerkar's Colaba restaurant. Among those who took the night off form shooting were Ramesh Sippy, Shrey Guleri, Soni Razdan and Simi Garewal. Also present were people better known for their on-screen performances including Shekhar Suman, Kanwaljeet, Lilette Dubey and Karan Thapar. And all of them seemed to enjoy Star's hospitality to the hilt. Just hope none of them were shooting the next morning as we are sure many of them would have woken up with heavy heads.

Sonia's Bash

Sonia Garware's party on Saturday night at the Taj rooftop was truly a night of good fun, good company and great food. Sonia had apparently been planning this party for a long time and looks like her hard work really paid off. The deejay that night was 1900s' Akhtar, who managed to get just abouteveryone to shake a leg on the dance floor. Among those seen jiving away were Marc Robinson, Milind Soman, Hemant Trevedi, Suchitra Pillai and Rahul Bose. But if dancing was not your thing, then there were plenty of interesting people around -- including Czaee and Suketu Shah and Anand and Anuradha Mahindra -- to conduct conversations with. Above all the music and merriment, there was the wonderful spread Sonia had put out, including some great King prawns and Peking duck. And everyone seemed enjoy themselves so much that most guests did not go home until daylight the next day.

There is an interesting article on Sumeet Chopra accompanied by some great pictures of Aditi Govitrikar, Sheetal Malhar and Nina Manuel -- all clicked by the ace lensman. Sumeet is a well-known face on the city's cocktail circuit -- but just because he knows how to party doesn't mean he isn't a hard worker.
