On July 6 all roads in Bollywood are expected to lead to Ekta Kapoor's home. It's time for Ekta's annual party (she parties on July 6 every year, another superstition?) The theme this time is Bond. James Bond.

And Ekta is as excited as a school-girl. Since Ekta owns the only soundproof terrace among all her friends from the film and television fraternity, there's an extra reason for them to make a beeline for Ekta's residence on July 6. "Since the party on July 6, we'll be bringing in 7/7/'07, so we're having a James Bond party. Everyone has to wear black and red, and my whole place will be done up like a Bond set. The card will read, 'Come in black & red, 'coz you gotta Bond with the best'. However, the music will be completely Hindi filmi. Bond or no Bond, I'm a filmi girl, and proud of it," says Ekta.

"On July 6, I'll transform my place to look like the casino in Casino Royale… I hope it doesn't rain. That would dampen our spirits. And would also reduce my guest list from 600 to 300. But nothing can stop us from having fun. When Sanjay Gupta threw a birthday party last month for me, I didn't invite any of my friends from the TV industry. This time I'm inviting the entire Balaji brigade, plus all my school and college friends. We can party all night without anyone being disturbed. My house parties have lately acquired a legendary status," she adds.

So has Ekta the tycoon turned into a party girl? "I'm hosting a party after a gap of eight months. The entire television industry will meet under one roof at my party. I don't party often but I do like to go out once a week for dinner."
