Anna Singh's Store Launch
A Night Of 'Stars' And Crystals
Was it a launch or a movie awards night, one wouldn't have known the difference. The launch of Anna Singh's first boutique in Bandra on Friday night saw the créme de la créme of Bollywood walk into the store to congratulate Anna and make it a night for her to remember. The theme seemingly being red, Anna and her staff were in glamorous attires welcoming the guests warmly.
Ayesha Shroff and Farah Khan (who had lent their creative inputs into the décor of the store) gave Anna a helping hand. Kajol did the honour of launching the store and was accompanied by sister Tanisha. Unfortunately the duo left within a short while owing to Kajol's ill health.
The shutterbugs did not stop snapping till midnight with a host of celebrities walking into the store soon after. Some of them being Karan Johar, Arpita Khan, Chunky Pandey, Sophie Choudhary, Zarine Khan, Suzanne Roshan, Queenie Dhodie, Kim Sharma, Preeti Jhangiani, Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani, Chayaa Mommaya, Achla Sachdev, Vikram Chatwal, Sonu Sood, Poonam Dhillon, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Ashish Chowdhary (minus wife Samita), Boman Irani with wife, Neelam, Ketan Mehta, a less seen Sooraj Bharjatiya also walked in with family, Divya Khosla Kumar, Kehkashan and a lot more.
But what made the night was the unexpected entry of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Stormed by the media, she managed to check out the store swiftly and give them a byte or two and left early apparently to catch a flight. Gauri Khan too entered for a short while.
Anna Singh's store consists of stunning signature print dresses, Swarovski encrusted clutches, belts, jewellery and indo-western tops along with a funky menswear line that is one of a kind - all under the same roof! Not only is the store solely owned by Anna but she has also designed the store along with Ayesha Shroff with invaluable inputs from Zarine Khan, Suzanne Roshan and candles by Dimple Kapadia!
