80 per cent. That's how many guests at Manish Goel and Poonam Narula's party last night adhered to the dress code set down by the hosts.
They came in shimmering white kurtis and salwars, tight white T shirts, egg white bandannas and snow white jackets, white (or a dash thereof) being the theme of the 'Thanksgiving' party the Nach Baliye runner up duo threw at the Rock Bottom disc in suburban Mumbai.
But the hosts themselves hadn't much of white on their dresses. Manish did sport a leather jacket with 'a dash of white', but Poonam's ensemble came closer to a pale shade of aquamarine. Truth be told, the only one among the hosts dressed in all white, was Manish and Poonam's lovable two year old son, Aryaveer, who had a royal time gambolling among the white balloons strewn across the floor, dressed in an all white jacket and trousers.
Among the guests, the Nach Baliye gang, right from the producers to the competitors and the choreographers turned up in strength. Whatever ill feelings may have been rustled up during the stiff competition during the NB shoots, had obviously dissolved - it was heart warming to watch Poonam and Manish hugging and welcoming the guests as they trooped in - right from NB winner Sachin (sans wife Supriya, who's out of town for a shoot), Rajiv Paul (who came loaded with a huge gift) and Rohit Roy, who came accompanied by wife Mansi.
Kirron Kher, Deepak Qazir, Hiten Tejwani, Yash Tonk were those who struck a late entry, but adhered appropriately to the dress code.
The party obviously rocked - if little Arya's dancing on the floor till well past midnight was any indication!
