Shilpa
Shetty
and
husband
Raj
to
host
the
first
Diwali
card
party
of
the
season
in
their
new
home
PS:
All
of
B-Town
biggies
invited.
Except
Akshay
Kumar
Card
parties
around
Diwali
are
big
in
B-town.
Every
actor
wants
his/her
taash
party
to
be
the
best.
Each
year,
dates
are
planned
and
announced
in
a
rush
before
the
social
calendar
is
filled
up.
This
year,
there
is
a
new
entrant
Shilpa
Shetty
and
husband
Raj
Kundra.
The
couple
who
will
be
celebrating
their
first
Diwali
together
at
their
new
Juhu
bungalow
want
to
kick
start
the
card
parties
by
hosting
the
first
one.
The
Kundras
started
telling
industry
folk
to
block
the
date
weeks
ago.
Everyone
from
Khans
to
the
Kapoors
have
been
invited.
The
only
couple
that
has
been
left
out
of
the
guest
list
are
Akshay
Kumar
and
Twinkle
Khanna,
even
though
they
live
a
mere
hundred
metres
away.
Housewarming
bash
Says
a
source
close
to
the
couple,
"This
party
is
actually
a
housewarming
bash.
It's
just
that
around
Diwali,
everyone
is
in
the
mood
to
play
card
games,
so
they
decided
to
have
that
as
well."
The
bungalow
got
ready
only
recently.
Even
though
the
couple
have
moved
in,
the
shifting
of
furniture,
artefacts,
paintings
etc
from
their
old
home,
is
still
underway.
It
is
learnt
that
Shilpa
is
juggling
the
process
of
nestling
in
and
planning
her
Diwali
party
simultaneously.
The
source
continues,
"They
have
been
stressed
over
the
dropping
of
their
team
Rajasthan
Royals
from
IPL
and
they
want
to
put
all
the
ugliness
behind
them.
Having
a
house
full
of
friends
and
well-wishers
is
Shilpa's
way
of
bringing
in
peace
and
harmony
into
her
new
home."
The
house-proud
Mrs
Kundra
can't
wait
to
show
off
her
skills
as
a
super
hostess.
The
guest
list
includes
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Gauri
Khan,
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Maanayata,
The
Bachchan
family,
Ameesha
Patel,
Salman
Khan,
Rani
Mukerjee,
Kangana
Ranaut
and
Sajid
Nadiadwala
and
Wardha.
The
surprise
invitees
are
Raveena
Tandon
Thadani
(and
hubby
Anil)
whom
Shilpa
met
and
recently
bonded
with
at
a
filmi
party.
Both
actresses
have
dated
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
past.
It
looks
like
they
are
ready
to
let
bygones
be
bygones.
Clearly
that
does
not
apply
to
Khiladi
Kumar.
Ab
meri
baari...
Every
year,
Jeetendra
and
Shobhaa
Kapoor
host
a
lavish
patta
party.
Their
friends
and
Ekta's
groupies
are
regulars
at
this
party.
This
year,
the
party
at
Krishna
Cottage
on
November
5
is
being
hosted
by
the
baby
of
the
family
Tusshar
Kapoor.
It
is
a
big
day
for
him
as
his
film
Golmaal
3
releases
a
day
before.
The
cast
and
crew
of
Golmaal
3
and
50
other
guests
have
been
invited.
Ekta's
party
will
be
on
November
6.
Is
baar
nahin...
Akshay
Kumar
and
wife
Twinkle
won't
have
a
big
Diwali
bash
this
year
as
they
usually
do.
Says
a
source
close
to
him,
"Akshay's
movie
Action
Replayy
is
releasing
on
Diwali
and
the
couple
will
be
too
busy
with
the
film
promotions
to
plan
or
enjoy
their
own
party."
