It was a veritable gathering of some of the country's most celebrated talent that had come together to celebrate the birthday of Biloo Sharma this weekend.
Sharma, a soft-spoken and low-profile erstwhile actor-producer, had been a student of the FTII in Pune, where he'd forged deep and lasting friendships with fellow students Jaya Bachchan (nee Bhaduri) and Danny Denzongpa, making him something of an insider at Jalsa.
In addition, his lovely daughter Neema is married to Ayaan Ali Bangash, son of sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, which has extended the circle further to include the Bangashs, who, naturally, had flown down to bring in their samdhi's big day in Mumbai.
Add to this Anupam Kher, who is an old friend of the family, and Shabana and Javed Akhtar, again part of the inner circle, and you have a staggering gathering of the country's leading actors, musicians, poets and lyricists under the same roof.
As someone remarked about the extraordinary configuration: wonder what they talk about when they meet. The answer to that is: not politics for sure!
