The festival of Diwali sets in the mood for the party season every year. Film producer and entrepreneur Priti Agarwal along with entrepreneur Vanita Bajoria co-hosted a gala pre-Diwali bash on October 20 at Lord of the Drinks at South City Mall. Keeping in mind the vibe of the festival, the place was decked up in floral decor. Guests attended the party wearing ethnics and indulged in a fun-filled afternoon of music, dance and heart-to-heart conversations, while enjoying delicious nibbles from Indian cuisine.
“Every year I take this occasion to invite women who have a substantial standing in the society by way of their effort, profession or talent. It is to recognise and appreciate their strengths and perseverance through the course of life. This year I collaborated with Vanita Bajoria to host the Diwali bash at Lord of the Drinks, a very happening place popular through all age groups. The menu was specially customised for Diwali with mouth-watering savouries. Our guests were greatly impressed and recognised our endeavour to entertain and honour them,” said Priti Agarwal (right in picture above).
“Lord of the Drinks is known for hosting inventive parties. The main attraction that stole the show was a brilliant contemporary mix of cultural flute music fused with the beats of our DJ, engulfing the party with the spirit of festivities and fun. The event was a huge success. We hope to host more such extravagant and lively events in future,” added Vanita Bajoria.
