New Delhi: Producer Anand Pandit’s birthday bash on Thursday night was a star-studded affair with who's who of Bollywood attending the birthday event. Bollywood bigwigs including Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Salman Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Amisha Patel, Sunny Leone, Sharman Joshi, Suniel Shetty, Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, Kartik Aaryan, Shankar Mahadevan, Mallika Sherawat, Hina Khan and others attended Anand’s 60th birthday celebration.
Many photos and videos from the party have been doing the rounds on social media. One of the videos going viral shows Salman Khan greeting Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan with a hug.
The clip shows, Salman wishing Anand Pandit. Amitabh then comes in and the 'Dabangg' star approaches the thespian greeting him with a handshake and a warm hug.
Following Amitabh, Abhishek greets film producer Sajid Nadiadwala, later sharing a bear hug with Salman. The two were seen having a conversation as well.
Salman and Abhishek hugging each other is a rare sight as they are never seen together at public events. Salman Khan was in a relationship with Abhishek Bachchan's wife and actor Aishwarya Rai in the past.
Meanwhile, during the birthday bash, Amitabh Bachchan said a few words for close friend and producer Anand Pandit. The superstar joined Pandit in cutting the birthday cake, and unveiled a biography and a coffee table book inspired by the producer's life.
Big B said: "You have praised me so much but I don't think I am worthy of this admiration. As my father would say, 'I have no desire to be famous. That you know me is enough.' You said you were very inspired by the character of Vijay in 'Trishul' but the credit for the resonance of that character should go to the writers, not me."
He further mentioned: “Anand Bhai is someone who always brings with him a lot of optimism and joy. One may be facing any problem, but by his mere presence, he dissipates the gloom. He has a lot of humility and simplicity. He is a very friendly, very respectful person and he has lived his life with a lot of discipline. I believe Anand Bhai is a true heir and a worthy son to his father. It is because of the blessings of his parents that he is today known as Anand Pandit and the man behind Lotus Developers. My heartfelt congratulations to him on this special day.”
