Amisha
Patel
is
all
set
to
throw
an
expensive
baby
shower
for
her
best
friend
Manyata
Dutt
next
week.
The
Dutt
family,
Sanjay's
sisters
Namrata
and
Priya
included,
and
friends
are
expected
to
attend.
Says
a
source
close
to
the
actress,
"Amisha
considers
Maana
her
best
friend
and
wanted
to
give
her
a
special
surprise.
She
was
one
of
the
first
to
hear
about
her
pregnancy
and
that
she
was
expecting
twins.
She
decided
on
gifting
Maana
a
baby
shower."
The
venue
is
a
special
one.
Amisha
says,
"My
dad
Amit
Patel
knows
the
owner
of
restaurant-cum
lounge
bar
Veda,
who
is
a
partner
with
designer
Rohit
Bal.
And
with
Rohit
in
the
picture,
it
will
be
a
designer
baby
shower.
There's
one
in
Delhi,
too.
They
were
planning
to
open
the
Mumbai
branch
much
later,
but
I
requested
them
to
open
it
up
earlier
for
the
baby
shower.
The
menu
will
include
dishes
unlike
anything
anyone
has
ever
tasted."
Miss
Patel
further
reveals,
"Sanju
will
come
a
little
later
with
friends.
The
whole
idea
is
to
have
a
fun
evening.
It's
a
kind
of
western
godh
bharai
(the
actual
one
will
be
held
in
October
at
the
Dutt's
Bandra
home
along
with
a
mata
ki
chowki).
The
guest
list
will
consist
of
Maana
and
Sanju's
friends
and
colleagues."
Amisha
has
already
sent
out
a
special
invite,
a
box
of
cupcakes
with
a
poem
in
it.
"Minica
Chabria,
Sejal
Shah
and
I
have
organised
Maana's
baby
shower
and
the
invites.
The
cupcakes
were
my
idea
as
I
love
them.
We
wrote
out
the
poem
ourselves
after
surfing
the
net
and
mixing
and
matching."
