Celebs @ Dabboo's 2012 calendar launch (pics1+2) - Page 3

The year began ten days back. And finally on Monday evening, Bollywood's much-celebrated calendar was also launched. Dabboo Ratnani's hard work had paid off and almost everybody from the Hindi cinema industry - the ones who were featured and those who aspire to get a space in the calendar - turned up at a suburban nightspot. Ace lensman Dabboo was in high spirits with wife Manisha and his daughters Myrah and Kiara. And while the A-list guests admired Dabboo's work put up on the walls over some food and drinks, Mumbai Mirror checked out the highs and lows of the glittering do.

Surprisingly, SRK's good friend Priyanka Chopra arrived right after Khan left. In fact, she was the last one to arrive at the party. Her staying on till the party got over did compensate for the late arrival. But the co-incidence of SRK and Priyanka not meeting at the party at the wake of Priyanka's non-attendance of Khan's Don 2 party at Mannat did not go unnoticed.

Vidya in a bright red silk sari was the one who got maximum attention from the paparazzi. Partly due to her latest successful film and partly perhaps because of the incongruous bindi on her forehead.

Television actress Shama Sikandar and beau Alex looked quite cosy and managed to draw our attention. Shama was rumoured to be the reason behind Alex's split with wife Shweta Keswani. And though the actor had denied everything back then, at the party, we finally knew.

The others who attended the party included Sonal Chauhan, Geeta Basra who spent most of her time chatting with Bunty Walia, Sohail Maklain, Salim Merchant, Yash Birla, Rocky S, Bipasha Basu who was cheered the most by the media at the entrance perhaps because of her red bikini act in her latest release, Madhur Bhandarkar, Ramesh Taurani who kept talking work, Nikhil Dwivedi, Pooja Bedi, Pooja Batra, Zoa Morani and Narendra Kumar Ahmed.

1. Shah Rukh Khan in his one-and-a-half hour long stint at the party was seen having a rather long discussion with trade analyst Amod Mehra. Khan did take some time off from the tte--tte to pose with his calendar photo and Dabboo's daughter Myrah

2. Abhishek Bachchan, perhaps in a hurry to be home with his daughter put in a blink-and-I'm-gone appearance. Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan too did not stay too long. And in their short presence, Hrithik managed to chat up with his Dhoom 2 co-star.

3. Priyanka in a pretty multicoloured flowing gown, was caught sharing a light moment with Vidya. This too managed to garner a few raised eyebrows from the gathering. Considering their mutual like and subsequent dislike for a particular co-star Kapoor, we too couldn't overlook their happy conversation.

4. Konkona Sen and Ranvir Shorey made a smashing entry. Most literally. The actress got her car banged from behind, at the entrance.
