While Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are celebratin­g their nuptials in Rajasthan, there’s another married couple from Bollywood who are still in party mode.

Lovebirds Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are happy and they want the world to know it, one decadent bash after another.

Their gig on Saturday evening — their third reception — was a star-studded affair as a galaxy of Bollywood talents partied the night away with the couple at Grand Hyatt in Mumbai.

Before the party started, Singh and Padukone took to their social media accounts to post some glamorous pictures.

Padukone wore a glittering red Zuhair Murad gown with a matching veil, while Singh wore a tuxedo with a bow tie designed by Indian designers Rahul Khanna and Rohit Gandhi. Both made a fetching portrait before they set out to meet their colleagues, who weren’t a part of their intimate wedding in Italy’s Lake Como.

RECEPTION

The couple seemed eager to make up for the lack of a Bollywood contingent. Since they returned from Italy, Padukone and Singh have been busy throwing post-wedding parties in Bengaluru and Mumbai.

While the Bengaluru reception was a family-centric affair, the one in Mumbai on Saturday was full of glitz.

Actors including Shah Rukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Radhika Apte, Jahnvi Kapoor, Vidya Balan and Hema Malini were a part of the celebratio­ns. The Bachchans were also a part of the guest list, along with South Indian star Madhavan. Actors including Lara Dutta along with her husband Mahesh Bhupathi also made it.

At the party, Singh reportedly danced with Amitabh Bachchan to the song Jumma Chumma De

De from the veteran actor’s 1991 film Hum.

The guest list wasn’t limited to the Indian entertainm­ent industry. Stars from the cricketing world including Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar were a part of Singh and Padukone’s big party.

The two Bollywood stars, who dated for six years, tied the knot on November 14 and 15 in Italy, according to Konkani and Sindhi traditions.
