Celebs at VD's birthday bash - Page 3

Varun Dhawan turned 29 with a party at his Juhu residence, which started on Saturday at 10 pm and continued through the night. Most of B'wood's young brigade, including childhood buddy Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Jacqueline Fernandez and Parineeti Chopra were present among the 50-odd guests, but fellow students, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra, along with principal-mentor Karan Johar, were conspicuous by their absence. Mirror has learnt that the trio was travelling for work but made it a point to wish Junior Dhawan on his big day.

"It was a fun house party and Varun's parents, David and Karuna Dhawan, left soon after their son cut his custom-made Captain America cake," informs a guest present at the bash. Varun, in a Game of Thrones Tee, was in high spirits but largely kept away from the dance floor leaving it to Shraddha to burn it up with her ABCD 2 moves. "She hung around for hours with her girl gang, chatting briefly with her Aashiqui co-star Aditya." They mostly played English tracks with Varun's "Main Tera Hero" title track receiving the loudest cheer.

Athiya Shetty, who was in Bangkok, came straight from the airport. Anil Kapoor's beta, Harshvardhan, who will soon be making his Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya, was spotted trying to avoid the shutterbugs. "Arjun came with sister Anshula and his trimmed beard for Half Girlfriend was the talk of the evening," adds the source, adding that designer Kunal Rawal was almost unrecognisable with a clean shaven look.

Varun's designer girlfriend, Natasha Dalal, looked pretty, but kept a low profile leaving it to his sisterin-law, Jaanvi, Rohit Dhawan's wife to play hostess. "The main course mostly included Indian cuisine. All of it tasted like good, ghar-ka-khana and everyone tucked in," says the source, adding with a grin that filmmakers Sajid Nadiadwala, Siddharth Roy Kapur and Tanuj Garg seemed to have plenty of food for thought as they talked shop.

The trendsetter of the 'slow motion' dance style, dancer Raghav Juyal was also present at Varun's house where the party was organised.

While talking about Varun's lavish birthday celebrations, Raghav seemed to be still in the party mode! "The birthday bash was one occasion to be remembered for a lifetime," said Raghav. "It was one dhamakedaarbash grander than the last year one. We have literally danced crazily. Let letke naache hain hum. Varun's parents were there for a while. Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Bhai, Jacky, Shraddha and I have danced throughout the entire party. Shraddha turned into a boy while I enacted as a girl on the dance floor." While talking about one person whom he had a lot of fun at the party, Raghav immediately said, " It was Ranbir Kapoor. The two of us have danced till the wee of hours. We non stop grooved till 4 am. We like, literally burned the dance floor for 4-5 hours straight! I also made everyone do the typical Garhwali dance. Kal full on western plus folk dance ka workshop lagraha tha. It was one crazy night!"

Raghav and Varun have been bonding along since their ABCD 2 days, where the two stars were seen sharing screen space together. While talking about their BFF bond, Raghav expounded, "Ohh man! ABCD 2 ke shoot ke time, Me, Varun, Shraddha and Dharmesh Bhai had become like one big BFF team. We made sure that we enjoyed every party at Vegas where the movie's shoot was happening. Varun is scared of heights but I made him do bungee jumping and he sportingly did it as well, full josh mein! It was fun to be with Varun in real and reel life as well!"

Well it seems, it surely was one birthday to remember!
