Bollywood has been in party mood for the past week, thanks to Diwali and Shah Rukh Khan's birthday. While King Khan rang in his 53rd birthday at a posh Mumbai hotel on Friday, over the weekend there was a starry turnout at his tony Bandra residence, 'Mannat', as part of Diwali celebrations. A day later, the Bollywood gang moved to Shilpa Shetty's sea-facing Juhu house where the actress and her husband Raj Kundra hosted a cards party.

Director Karan Johar kept the party fever on and hosted a lavish party at his residence on Diwali. And by his side were his regular buddies, Malaika Arora, Alia Bhatt, and Manish Malhotra. The newcomers this time included Vicky Kaushal and the soon-to-be-launched Sara Ali Khan, and embroidered outfits seemed to be a popular theme for the evening.
