The
I-don't-like-to-party
Shahid
Kapoor
is
learning
to
unwind
and
enjoy
himself.
Says
a
close
friend
of
Shahid,
"Last
Saturday
after
his
ad
shoot
in
Goa
for
a
luggage
brand,
Shahid
hosted
a
surprise
barbecue
party
on
the
lawns
of
his
villa
at
the
Taj
Aguada.
It
was
a
party
for
close
friends
and
acquaintances.
Shahid,
being
a
stickler
for
details,
organised
everything
himself
from
the
food
to
the
wine."
Shahid
admits,
"Yes,
I
had
a
party
for
all
my
friends
here
in
Goa.
I
just
wanted
to
have
a
get-together.
We
all
had
a
superb
time!
Now
I
am
back
in
Mumbai
and
have
started
shooting
for
Vishal's
(Bharadwaj)
Kaminay."
A
friend
of
the
actor
reveals
details
about
the
party,
"There
were
hammocks
and
a
huge
bonfire.
Though
Shahid
is
strictly
vegetarian,
there
were
people
in
the
party
who
weren't,
so
there
were
non-veg
dishes
on
the
menu
as
well.
The
food
included
barbecued
and
grilled
paneer
with
a
variety
of
sauces,
grilled
fish
and
chicken.
There
was
even
a
bar
set
up
and
Shahid
even
played
bartender.
It
was
great
to
see
Shahid
in
such
a
fun
and
totally
chilled
out
mood."
The
friend
continues,
"Shahid's
party
list
included
his
trainer
Abbas
who
travels
with
him
everywhere,
a
few
foreign
models
who
feature
in
the
ad,
the
ad
crew,
director
Ken
Ghosh,
choreographer
Ahmed
Khan
(with
wife
Saira),
and
some
unit
and
cast
members
from
Tips
like
producer
Ramesh
Taurani,
Vatsal
Sheth,
and
Sharman
Joshi,
who
were
shooting
in
Goa
at
the
time,
and
a
couple
of
Shahid's
very
close
friends."
Says
Shasha's
friend,
"As
the
DJ,
Shahid
played
hip-hop
tracks,
his
own
hits,
retro
Hindi
film
songs,
Justin
Timberlake
and
songs
from
Amitabh
Bachchan's
films.
Ken
Ghosh
challenged
Shahid
and
Ahmed
Khan
to
an
impromptu
dance
contest.
Shahid
was
voted
the
winner
by
the
girls.
Everyone
had
a
blast
and
the
party
rocked
till
till
4
am.
Every
time
the
contestants
would
get
tired
they
would
do
bench
presses
to
get
the
adrenalin
flowing."
Says
Ken,
"Yes
Shahid
held
a
very
impromptu
party.
I
had
gone
to
Goa
to
discuss
the
dates
for
our
shooting
in
December.
It
was
a
get-together
for
the
unit
of
Kismet
Connection
(produced
by
Tips)
old
friends
getting
back
together
after
the
Toronto
shoot
last
year.
I
wouldn't
say
Shahid
won
he
was
the
mediator.
As
far
as
who's
the
winner
well
the
jury's
still
out
on
the
winner.
We
will
have
the
best
of
3
parties
and
decide!"
