A Rocking Birthday Party… Hawaiian style! Aloha friends! On 2nd September, Ms. Sadhna Romy, owner of Hawaiian Shack, along with Mr. Ritin Ashar celebrated Benny Jacob’s Birthday, amongst a gathering of close friends and well wishers. Benny Jacob, a stalwart of Hindi cinema from the golden era of the seventies and eighties has movies like Gunj and Ehsaas along with some cool modelling assignments to his credit. That he has a huge fan following even today was evident this evening at the Hawaiian Shack! Stars, Industrialists, Politicians and Socialites alike thronged to the Shack to be a part of the celebration.
“Ritin & Me have known Benny for decades now and have always loved and respected him just like all others who have come to the birthday party. I am happy that he has given Hawaiian Shack an opportunity to host this event, which is very special”, said the ecstatic hostess Ms. Sadhna Romy. Mr. Benny cut a huge birthday cake while one and all wished him many happy returns and rocked Shack all night!
Everyone enjoyed the party and the DJs playing different music like retro, rock, pop and bollywood. True to the theme of this nightclub, they belted out a number of oldy-goldies by The Beatles, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Wham and other well-known musicians. Exotic dancers kept the pulses racing with their Shakira moves. Totally in high spirits were Farhan Akhtar and Randeep Hooda, accompanied by his female lead Shahana Goswami from the to-be-released movie Rubaru. Sadhana Romy looked radiant in an orange tunic and was the gracious host along with Mr. Ritin. Priya Dutt along with husband Owen Roncon and Sister Namrata Dutt made their presence felt. Also, seen shaking a leg was Kumar Gaurav (Bunty), Arjun Khanna, Soketu Parekh & Vijay Kalantri looking dapper in a pin-striped suit. Gary Rachardson, flanked by two beautiful ladies, Shifanjali Shekar & Pooja Missra, wore the Hawaiian garland whole night long. Kishore & Kintu Bajaj chatted animatedly with Aarti Surendranath who looked stunning in a white ensemble. Prachi Desai along with producer Ritesh Sidhwani of Rock On fame, were swinging to the tunes as well! Brinda Parekh struck poses for the press while Feroze Nadiadwalla was catching up with Mr. Benny. Hard Kaur was partying harder than ever! Model Tupur looked simply the sweetest in a black racer Tee and jeans smiling for the lens.
People were having so much fun that they had to be politely reminded, as always, about the 1:30 deadline, as they were in no mood to leave!
