The war hots up

The by-now-infamous cold war between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan continues into the new year. In fact, this war rang in the New Year, in a manner of speaking. For the entire film industry showed up to celebrate the advent of 2007 at Shah Rukh’s party at Mannat, his home in bandra……except Amitabh. Jaya and Abhishek bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. They were only four conspicuous by their absence at a party that was attended by everyone else in Bollywood, from Vivek Oberoi to Salman Khan. Rani mukherji, Preity Zinta, you name them and they were there. According to those who attended the mega party, SRK and wife Gauri pulled out all the stops in terms of hospitality, this time. Every guest, including the Bachchans and ash, was personally invited by SRK and gauri and sometimes by both. Karan Johar, who played co-host at the bash, also made calls to invite everyone personally. The entire industry ate, danced and drank, well into 2007’s first morning. SRK danced with every guest.
