Following
the
Salman-SRK
spat
at
Katrina
Kaif's
b'day
bash,
B-Town
stars
find
themselves
making
strange
alliances.
The
latest
example
was
Vivek
Oberoi
attending
a
super-exclusive
party
thrown
by
Gauri
and
Shahrukh
Khan
at
their
residence,
especially
since
VO
is
Sallu's
Dushman
No
1.
Says
one
of
the
guests,
"At
Gauri's
party
at
Mannat
(to
bring
in
SRK's
43rd
birthday)
Saturday
night,
most
people
were
shocked
to
see
Vivek
Oberoi
getting
up
close
and
personal
with
SRK
and
Gauri.
VO's
appearance
at
the
bash
is
surprising
because
Gauri's
party
was
a
very
intimate
one
meant
only
for
a
select
few
those
very
close
to
the
couple's
innermost
circle."
The
guest
adds,
"Though
Vivek
and
SRK
have
been
bonding
over
the
last
few
months
(Vivek
had
even
gone
to
Kolkata
to
cheer
for
Shahrukh's
Knight
Riders
team)
especially
due
to
Karan
Johar
(Vivek
acts
in
his
next
along
with
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Saif
Ali
Khan),
that
still
doesn't
explain
Vivek's
presence
at
such
an
exclusive
party!
There
were
very
close
friends
present
and
Vivek
is
not
doing
any
ads,
film
or
shows
with
Shahrukh.
Their
sudden
bonding
raised
lots
of
eyebrows
at
the
party
as
people
kept
wondering
about
the
connection."
Adds
the
source,
"While
their
wives,
Malaika
and
Seema
go
for
the
parties,
Salman's
brothers
Arbaaz
and
Sohail
keep
away
out
of
loyalty
to
Salman.
Malaika
and
Seema
are
very
close
to
Gauri
and
are
part
of
the
Khan's
inner
circle.
Sohail
had
come
for
Farah
Khan's
Eid
bash."
Notes
the
guest,
"Though
Kareena-Saif
and
Ranbir-Deepika
couldn't
attend
as
they
were
out
of
town,
their
absence
was
more
than
made
up
by
the
presence
of
Hrithik
Roshan,
Farhan
Akhtar,
Preity
Zinta,
Rani
Mukherjee,
Priyanka
Chopra,
Sushmita
Sen,
Bipasha
Basu,
Arjun
and
Mehr
Rampal,
Sajid
Khan,
Karan
Johar,
Neelam
and
Chunky
and
Bhavna
Pandey.
The
party
was
held
on
the
terrace
of
the
new
building
behind
Mannat
and
the
decor
was
very
festive
full
of
fairy
lights
and
lanterns.
There
was
great
food
and
good
music."
