Karan Johar’s Birthday Bash Inside Details

There were  no brawls, face-offs or drug busts at Karan Johar’s  “decorous”  gentleman’s  party for a super-celebrity whose popularity largely defines  Bollywood’s ersatz energy.

Where else but in Karan Johar’s birthday bash  would you find Hrithik Roshan and his former(?) wife Sussanne Khan walking in hand-in-hand with their  new love interests?  For  the first time Sussanne Khan and her  boyfriend Arslan Goni  , and Hrithik and his new girlfriend Saba Azad  were at  the same venue.

No fireworks. In fact, star guest tells me  that the two couples exchanged  pleasantries. How wonderful   to see ex-es comfortable  in  one  another’s company.

Ranveer Singh  and  Ranbir Kapoor came  solo , as their wives are  abroad, one wife Deepika  doing jury duty in Cannes, the  other Alia is shooting her first  Hollywood film.  But the other  star-couple Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal were  seen spreading bonhomie  among friends.

“Katrina and  Vicky seem  happy together,” star guests tells me.

Ranbir, incidentally  came with his  mother and spent most  of the evening with her. Good choice: Neetu  Kapoor is an extremely entertaining company. Incidentally, Ranbir is  going out of his  way to  promote  his mother’s  forthcoming release Jug Jugg Jeeyo. He  was heard recommending it to  anyone he came across during  the  KJo party.

Kajol, as predicted came  solo. No one expected Ajay Devgan  to turn  up even  if  it was Karan’s  50^th.So did  Kajol’s cousin Rani Mukerjee  whose husband Aditya Chopra owns  the  venue of Karan Johar’s  50^th  party.

Karan  had specially requested Adi  to drop in for a  few  minutes.

The surprise  guest  of the  night was Salman  Khan. No one expected him to show  up for Karan  Johar’s  birthday party.  But show up , he did, though he avoided Katrina Kaif all evening.

Summing  up the tides of enjoyment at Karan’s birthday  a star-guest tells me, “It was  a routine celebration. All of Karan’s friends  were  there. Karan  became quite emotional  when he saw the turn-out.”
