How To Throw An Understated Book Launch

Here’s what happens when the country’s richest couple hosts your book launch: the tome will be showcased via a dance and theatrical production (in case your guests are unwilling to plough through the 500-plus pages); you will be felicitated by the first family of Bollywood; and there will be a runway show employing (possibly) the Hindi film industry’s entire talent pool. A 100 points to anyone who can actually name the author of the book in question, India Fantastique. Hint: Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla are not the authors. To see pictures from the launch party, held at Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s multi-purpose residence Antilia, click on the “view slideshow” button, above.

    My 8 year old twin” boys” have just completed their class scrapbook. Could Tina Ambani be kind enough to throw them a a small bash for 400 of their close friends? Will serve Nita Ambani right!

    What next nita ambani? A party for the Asian Circus?
    At least the clowns will be legitimate.

    the rocky horror picture
    show?

    if shweta bachchan were not the
    big b’s daughter

    would we give her
    a second glance?

    and where else in the world
    could you be pushing 50

    and still be called” the boys”?

    the only thing missing in this
    bollywoodian mansion

    is a dadaji rolling down
    the twin staircases

    with 5000 kgs of gold zari,
    this is truely india shining

    take a bow ms. ambani
    bring on the dhoklas, khandvi,
    200 parking valets,
    and the magnums of dom
