Parmeshwar Godrej's party for Oprah Winfrey at her bungalow in Juhu on Monday night had the who's who of the city present.
The business world as well as Bollywood made its presence felt. From the Ambanis (both Mukesh and Anil with wives Nita and Tina) to the Bachchans (Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan), the Khans (Shah Rukh and Gauri, also Imran and Avantika), to the Roshans (Hrithik, Sussanne and his mom Pinkie, who is a big fan of Oprah) - all were here.
A source present at the party says, "Oprah met each person and greeted them with equal warmth. It was a huge turnout. Apart from the Bachchans, Shah Rukh and Hrithik, there was Priyanka Chopra, Karan Johar, Kaajal Anand, Anil and Sonam Kapoor, Kirron and Anupam Kher, Preity Zinta, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, Abhay Deol, AR Rahman, Kabir Bedi, Siddharth Mallya (sans girlfriend Deepika Padukone), Kangana Ranaut, Arjun and Meher Rampal, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar and a very pregnant Lara Dutta with husband Mahesh Bhupathi and Shilpa Shetty with husband Raj Kundra and Sameera Reddy, who was wearing a Shantanu-Nikhil saree, which Winfrey admired greatly. Lara and Shilpa met and hugged over their bellies. This was also Aishwarya's first big public event after she gave birth."
The source adds that the party was a power-packed do. "Queenie and Natasha Poonawala were also present. It was astonishing that Nita and Tina were in the same room together. But Priyanka was behaving rather oddly. She came very later and looked dazed. Gauri and she didn't talk to each other at all. Both stuck to different corners of the room. While Gauri stuck with her group of friends like Arjun and Mehr and Hrithik and Susanne, Priyanka was seen circulating around and then left after meeting Oprah."
