Superstars and daughters
24/1/2015
The
music launch of Shamitabh would be
incomplete without Bachchan rendering the
Piddley song and there was a thunderous applause when he concluded.
Bachchan paid a special tribute to Illaiyaraaja and R Balki said 1000 is not a
number but just an excuse to celebrate the maestro.
There was nip in the air and when Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan came
on stage to deliver a vote of thanks it was time for a trailer repeat.
The evening had ended but nobody wanted
to go home. Not the hosts and certainly not the guests. Tabu lingered on
reliving her memories of shooting Cheeni
Kum with Balki. Sridevi lingered on reliving her memories of her shooting English Vinglish with Gauri Shinde wife
of Balki.
Kunal Ganjawala was humming a tune and
Bappi Lahiri chatting in Bengali with Shreya Ghoshal. I saw a happy Shruti Haasan dive into the car
with a smiling Kamal Haasan and an overwhelmed Rajnikanth gently led by
daughter Aishwarya out of the green lawns.
Shamitabh is the biggest
star studded musical event I have attended in my long career, there were as
many superstars on stage as there were in the audience and after a while I
stopped counting.
