Niranjan Hiranandani throws bash to celebrate Hafeez Contractor's Padma Bhushan win

Real estate baron Niranjan Hiranandani threw a bash on Saturday in honour of his architect friend Hafeez Contractor's Padma Bhushan win. The Hiranandani family — including wife Kamal, son Darshan and daughter-in-law Neha, hosted the do at a luxury hotel in south Mumbai which was attended by other big names from the real estate industry, like the Ruias.

Even well after the party started, Hiranandani and Contractor — who Hiranandani says were friends first and colleagues later — stayed away from the open bar. When asked why, Hiranandani said, "He doesn't drink and I drink very little." While this was one friend's celebration for another, we wondered how Contractor personally celebrated his Padma Bhushan moment. "I take every moment of my life as part of a celebration," he told us.
