He always manages to steal the attention. We love coming together for these lunches,” Randhir said.
The weekend brought out the party animal in Ranbir, who hopped from one bash to another but made sure not to miss his morning football practice.
The biggest bash this year was hosted by Karan Johar, who announced that it was a “special night for Yash and Roohi’s first Christmas”. The terrace of his Bandra residence was lined by lights, white ferns and roses, with a dozen tables laid out. It went on till 3 am with Shah Rukh Khan with son Aryan, Anant Ambani, Zoya Akhtar, Juno Chopra, Ritesh Sidhwani, Sikander Kher, Maheep Kapoor with daughter Shanaya among others, in attendance. ‘Khaleesi hair’ Lisa Haydon turned up with husband Dino Lalvani. Vicky Kaushal and his Raazi co-star Alia Bhatt, posed for selfies with Neha Dhupia.
Abhishek Bachchan, who exited the bash with wife Aishwarya and niece Navya Naveli Nanda, had arrived with Ranbir and filmmaker-friend Bunty Walia. The group had celebrated Bunty’s birthday at his residence before heading out for the Christmas celebrations.
With ex-husband Arbaaz Khan and son Arhan, Malaika Arora attended mother Joyce Polycarp’s annual Christmas luncheon. Sister Amrita was also in attendance with husband Shakeel Ladak. The feast was a mix of South Indian and Goan delicacies. Later in the day, Malaika and Arbaaz headed to Arpita Khan Sharma’s Christmas bash together.
After ringing in Anil Kapoor’s 61st birthday with chocolate cake and a grand feast on the sets of their upcoming film, Race 3, with co-stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol and the rest of the cast and crew on Sunday evening, Salman Khan enjoyed a private Christmas lunch with another costar and close friend, Katrina Kaif the following day. The duo went on a selfie-taking spree, and were also joined by filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar. Kat insisted that her leading man put on a Christmas hat and take all the selfies, which made the happy bunch crack up.
Later in the evening, Sallu’s sister Arpita hosted a star-studded bash. Katrina looked radiant in a strappy blue dress, while new dad Kunal Kemmu arrived with actress-wife Soha Ali Khan and their daughter, Inaaya.
Jacqueline, who admits that the holidays are her favourite time of the year, said that it was only her Persian pet cat, Miu Miu and her for the festivities this year. “It was actually the first time ever that I was away from my family on Christmas so when I was invited to a special programme for children, I leapt at the opportunity,” Jacky told Mirror, adding that she shook a leg with the children to her all-time favourite song, “Chittiyaan Kalaiyan”. She also shared her special diet trick for the holidays, saying that she eats all the brownies and pastries for breakfast so that she can stay picture-perfect for her shoot. The 32-year-old-actress went on to create Christmas decorations from waste in an interactive session by the NGO hosting the program and also took home a few for her tree. “I’ll treasure these little goodies for life,” she beamed.
Jacky was not the only actor to spend time with underprivileged kids in the city. Kangana Ranaut and Varun Dhawan also spent the afternoon with children from a local foundation.
Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor, who missed out on dad Anil’s birthday celebration and the lavishly decorated tree at the family’s Juhu home, took off to London to ring in the holidays with her boyfriend, Anand Ahuja. The couple spent the long weekend walking around the city and enjoying a spot of festive shopping.
