It was a birthday to remember for the 'English Vinglish' star Sridevi. Her husband of 17 years, Boney Kapoor, stood at the gates of the ritzy Sobo nightclub, welcoming motley of guests —ranging from who’s who of the B-town to politicians and from Page 3 regulars to socialites, who had gathered to celebrate Sri’s 50th birthday.
The club interiors were swamped by life-size posters of Sri’s blockbusters like Chandni, Chaalbaaz, Nagin, English Vinglish and more.
The diva arrived with her teen in tow, looking every bit stunning in a floral dress. Although Sri knew about the bash beforehand, she had no idea about the ‘assorted line-up of nostalgia’ that awaited her. "It's an overwhelming sight. I feel fortunate to have such a doting husband," she exclaimed.
The guests kept Boney on his toes. From Rahul Mahajan to cricketer Yuvraj to former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen were among the first few to arrive.
Rishi Kapoor walked in just before midnight and so did Rakesh Roshan, Bhushan Kumar and Madhur Bhandarkar.
Riteish and Genelia made a stylish entry, and so did Esha Deol with husband Bharat Takhtani and mother Hema Malini in tow.
Shipa Shetty dropped in with husband Raj Kundra and sister Shamita Shetty. Among other guests, there were Ramesh Taurani and his son, Anil Kapoor and wife Sunita , Juhi Chawla and husband Jay Mehta.
Although the turnout was huge, B-town’s elite stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Ekta Kapoor opted to stay away from the glitzy celebration.
