Bollywood’s festive season commenced on a glamorous note as Ramesh Taurani, a producer, hosted his much anticipated yearly Diwali bash in Mumbai. The VIP event had some of the biggest names in the industry rubbing shoulders and dressing up for the occasion.
The evening’s most talked-about moment was actress Shriya Saran, who turned heads not only with her radiant looks but with a candle-lit romanced scene which went viral. Dazzling in a sparkling golden saree and fitted blouse, Shriya gave her husband a gentle peck on the cheek, with him looking dignified in a cream kurta-pajama. The moment trended on social media, with fans flooding comment sections with heart emojis and appreciation of the couple.
Also hogging all the limelight were Saba Azad and Hrithik Roshan, walking hand in hand, oozing charm and poise. Hrithik looked suave in an all-black satin ensemble, while Saba shone bright in a highly embellished gold-beige sharara, making them one of the best-dressed couples of the evening.
Ibrahim Ali Khan and his rumoured girlfriend Palak Tiwari made headlines as they posed together, giving rise to dating rumours. Ibrahim was dashing in a black sequined Indo-Western outfit with a V-neck kurta which plunged deep, while Palak sparkled in a multi-hued lehenga choli, exuding festive appeal.
Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda, popular on-screen jodi, were also in the spotlight. Pulkit was dressed in an uber cool Indo-Western attire, while Kriti looked heavenly in an off-white saree with a show-stoppingly stylish designer blouse.
Jacqueline Fernandez went vintage cuteness in a traditional red saree and Sonakshi Sinha arrived with husband Zaheer Iqbal, both dressed in impeccably coordinated festive attire.
The bash was a visual treat, with a mixed crowd of film and TV celebrities present, including David Dhawan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Karishma Tanna, Anushka Ranjan, Amyra Dastur, Mandira Bedi, Rasika Dugal, and Elnaaz Nourozi, and thus one of the most memorable parties of the season
