Ameesha Patel is all set to throw an expensive baby shower for her best friend Manaayata Dutt next week. The Dutt family -- Sanjay's sisters Namrata and Priya included -- and friends are expected to attend.
Says a source close to the actress, "Ameesha considers Maana her best friend and wanted to give her a special surprise. She was one of the first to hear about her pregnancy and that she was expecting twins. She decided on gifting Maana a baby shower."
Special venue
The venue is a special one. Ameesha says, "My dad Amit Patel knows the owner of restaurant-cum lounge bar Veda, who is a partner with designer Rohit Bal. And with Rohit in the picture, it will be a designer baby shower.
There's one in Delhi, too. They were planning to open the Mumbai branch much later, but I requested them to open it up earlier for the baby shower. The menu will include dishes unlike anything anyone has ever tasted."
Miss Patel further reveals, "Sanju will come a little later with friends. The whole idea is to have a fun evening. It's a kind of western godh bharai (the actual one will be held in October at the Dutt's Bandra home along with a mata ki chowki).
The
guest list will consist of Maana and Sanju's friends and colleagues."Ameesha has already sent out a special invite -- a box of cupcakes with a poem in it.
"Minica Chabria, Sejal Shah and I have organised Maana's baby shower and the invites. The cupcakes were my idea as I love them. We wrote out the poem ourselves after surfing the net and mixing and matching."
What the poem says:
Twenty fingers, twenty toes
Plenty of work, Heaven knows!
Four little arms to hold tight,
Four little cheeks to kiss night-night!
Please join us for a baby shower...
