Sometimes things can happen that you don’t expect and that is what happened to our writer Amrita on her trip to Mumbai. Check out what happened when she happened by chance upon the red carpet into the Filmfare Nominations Party!
Yet another night in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai and yet another decision to make: where to eat! As we went on the hunt for a nice Chinese restaurant, our paths led to the JW Marriott hotel in Juhu. Actually, the path didn’t lead TO, it actually led VIA the hotel but I guess the Bollywood starlight had something else already thought out for me…
As I sipped on my delicious hot chocolate inside the exquisite restaurant inside the lavish hotel, I was completely unaware of the things coming into place just outside. It was only when I was on my way out that I noticed the crowd and the commotion. I could see starry lights and a red carpet. As I ventured a little further on, I saw the billboard which I seemed to have missed on the way in; it was Filmfare nominations night! As the excitement came over me, I realised that the press that had gathered and were waiting for the who’s who in the Bollywood film fraternity.
So who did I see? Just a few, well okay some big really big stars. Check out this list:
Punit Malhotra, Imran Khan, Ronit Roy, Priyanka Chopra’s parents, Urmila Matondkar, Arbaaz Khan, Arjan Bajwa, Manoj Bajpayee, Sonakshi Sinha, Madhavan, Hard Kaur, Asin, Karan Johar, Sikandar Kher, Kunal Khemu, Shah Rukh Khan, Sameera Reddy, Prachi Desai, Aishwarya Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Anushka Sharma, and Ranveer Singh!
With luck on my side and stars in my eyes (quite literally), I was thankful to have my camera in tow. I stood on the sides, in full view of the red carpet… Lights! Camera! Action…
