Here's the best-kept secret in Bollywood. Anil Kapoor loves to let the drinks flow during his parties. But he doesn't touch a drop himself.

Right before the wrap-up/ success party for his serial 24 started on Saturday evening Anil loudly announced, `Everyone must get drunk.`

He then proceeded to ply all those present with drinks while Anil himself didn't touch a drop.

However everyone presumed Anil was sozzled to the gills.

`He danced to My name is lakhan ,screamed every guest's name as though he or she were his long-lost best friend, pranced around with energy-level of kangaroo on steroids and made sure no one glass was empty. He was in his element all right,` says Richa Chadha an unabashed Anil Kapoor fan who showed up in a stunning black dress.

Anil's brothers Boney and Sanjay Kapoor also showed up to express solidarity. Strangely the wives of all three Kapoor brothers were missing.

Maybe television is too infra-dig for the star-wives.

When asked about his fun fest with the 24 gang Anil Kapoor said, `It was my most memorable party ever in the film industry. Everyone in the 24 team has slogged to make it work.We all deserved to let our hair down.`


When asked why he chose to remain sober while ensuring everyone at the party got drunk Anil said, `Of course I didn't drink. I was the host! If I didn't remain sober how would I look after my guests?`

Conspicuous by her absence at the party was Mandira Bedi who plays a pivotal role in 24.

Says Mandira, `I had to miss the party because I had my brother in town from Singapore. He visits only once a year.And I had a dinner for him at home.So I couldn't get away.The 24 party was planned much after my dinner was locked in. So I missed out on all the fun with the 24 team.`
