Salman Khan and his Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur arrive at Chikki and Deanne Pandey's Bandra bungalow to wish the latter, who is bringing in her 48th birthday. It's a post birthday celebration, since Deanne turned a year older on December 10.
The photographers camped outside since 10 pm, are delighted by bhai's surprise entry. "Ghar jao, khaana khao, so jao, you've worked enough," he orders after they've got his pics. Sallu's former sister-in-law Malaika Arora, radiant in an olive green backless dress, hurriedly leaves when told about his arrival. The two have not been on cordial terms since Arbaaz and she filed for divorce. Kareena Kapoor who is due anytime now, is the first guest to arrive and leave.
Chikki's actor brother Chunky Pandey and wife Bhavna who live next door are not allowed to pose together by their possessive dog who wants to bite Chunky and not let him go.
Ritesh Sidhwani, Amrita Arora and husband Shakeel Ladak, Lara Dutta and tennis ace hubby Mahesh Bhupati are also there, along with Sohail Khan who is ragged for turning up in the same over sized grey track pants he's been wearing for a year.
Bipasha who had spent the evening at hairstylist Hakim Alim's Bandra studio arrives in a blue kaftan dress, with her hair curled from root to tip. She warmly greets her longtime bestie and once-upon-a time ex, Dino Morea, who immediately gets into a conversation with her better half Karan Singh Grover and close-friend, designer Rocky S.
Drinks flow and there are pictures galore as design entrepreneurs Asim Merchant and Karishma Bajaj who have designed the interiors are flooded with compliments for Deanne's beautiful home.
