Milte hain ‘Shaan’ sey—B’Day-girl Deepshikha dazzles as ‘Parveen Babi’ in her ‘Bollywood-theme’ super-hit party!

‘Jeete hain Shaan sey --Milte hain Shaan sey”--seemed to be the magic-mantra of ‘ageless’ stunning actress Deepshikha Nagpal who was dressed-to-kill looking every inch like her favourite icon ‘Parveen Babi’ at her star-studded (belated) Birthday party - Chaitanya Padukone

The flamboyant glitz-glamour late-night party held at the exotic venue True Tramm Trunk at Juhu, had a ‘Bollywood’ dress-code theme. Where almost every third celeb guest was clad in a fancy-filmy-costume resembling ‘Zeenat Aman’ ,‘’Aamir Khan’ “Alia Bhatt” and many other actors.

Enthused versatile Deepshikha ( actual birthday on Aug 20th) , “ This whole ‘70s retro-Bollywood-theme concept was my daughter Vidhika’s brainwave and since industry-people always called me a much-younger version of Parveen Babi, I decided to dress up like Parveen (resembling her character from movie ‘Shaan’).

Career-wise, perhaps for the first time I have defied my negative-shades image and am playing a total positive step-mother screen-character . Its on Star Bharat and the TV show is called ‘Na Umra Ki Seema Ho’ where I am playing ‘Satyavati’ a strong, powerful, rich-woman authority character.

No, it’s not a mytho show but a contemporary subject. Well I am shown ‘single’ in this TV show with no male character opposite me, as yet. Even off-screen I am single and ready-to-mingle,” laughs Deepshikha, whose favourite movie of Parveen Babi is ‘Khud Daar’ (1982).

The turn-out of celeb-guests was like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Bollywood Films & TV industry which included famous director-duo Abbas-Mustan , Poonam Dhillon ,Mika Singh, Kunika Lal ,Sheeba, Krushna Abhishek with style-icon wife Kashmeera,,Rakesh Paul , Ritu Shivpuri, Sandip Soparrkar with Shanthi Priya (as ‘Dum Maro Dum –Zeenie baby, ) Siddharth (Anil) Dhawan, stand-up comedian VIP ,popular RJ Divya Solgama ,Shakir Shaikh ,,Jamnadas Majethia, Vidhika Nagpal (Deepshikha’s model-actress daughter) , Imran Khan , Avinash Wadhawan Rehan Shah ,Rohit Verma ,Maninee De, senior film-journalist Chaitanya Padukone Amruta Deshmukh ( as ‘Zeenat Aman’ –Dum Maro Dum girl ), Madhuri Pandey, Sushant Divgikar, playback-singer-performer Madhvi Shrivastav, and her charming actress-sister Mohita Shrivastav, TV star Jatin Suri ( as ‘Aamir Khan’ in ‘Rangeela), Gananay Chadha ( as ‘Shammi Kapoor’), Ananya Chadha as ‘Zeenie-baby’ etc and many more eminent personalities were seen at the lavish birthday bash of Deepshikha Nagpal.
