As is known, we are on the verge of being swept away by the Justin Bieber tidal wave, as this generation's version of Elvis, Michael Jackson and The Beatles performs in amchi Mumbai this week. And as it happened last evening, we were afforded an insight into one of the highlights of the concert - the role of Sri Lankan beauty and Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez - who has been chosen by the Bieber team to play host to the 'Boy Wonder', during his India leg of the concert.

"One of Jackie's main responsibilities is that she is hosting a really cool backstage party for exactly 20 of her friends during the concert," said a source close to the star. "This will include many of her Bollywood pals like SRK, Varun Dhawan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor and many others, along with her bestie-like-architect Ashiesh Shah," she said. "They will be watching the concert in a special enclosure behind the stage, where not only will they be able to have a private party while they view the Bieber magic, but also they can step out and see the audience if they feel like," said the source, adding, "Of course, there will be food and drinks served and a real fun atmo."

Sounds like quite a party, we said. Who are the lucky 20? "We do not know who is in town and who is showing up," said the insider. "Jackie, who is currently shooting in London for 'Judwaa 2', has sent out messages to all her close pals, inviting them, and there will certainly be a turnout of some of the industry's biggest stars.
To hang out backstage with Bieber - the biggest act in town - while he takes Mumbai by storm, while playing video games or even (the mind boggles) taking a dip in his specially requested jacuzzi, appears to be some kind of a life-defining moment for a Belieber or even your garden variety superstar, we remarked.

After all, the association can spin into major social media traction, amongst other things. How on earth did Fernandez choose her list of lucky 20 and isn't there a chance that those who did not get invited might take offence?
"Yes that's the thing!" said the source, adding, "Word had got around in the industry and Jackie's phone has not stopped ringing!" "And you cannot imagine the kind of people who are asking to crash her party," said the source. Oh boy!
