Salman, Saif, Aamir skip Rani's bash

Earlier this week, Rani Mukerji hosted a party at her newly renovated bungalow. Except Shah Rukh, no other Khan (among the actors) turned up. Which is strange as the actress is close to all the Khans.

Rani recently moved into a spacious new home in the upscale Juhu neighborhood. She'd been planning to host a housewarming party but given her own busy schedule and that of her starry guests, she had a tough time fixing a day that suited everyone.

Rani's bungalow, christened KrishnaRam, has been done up by Sussanne (Hrithik) Roshan and Twinkle (Akshay) Kumar. And the two ladies were also present as the others guests walked about Rani's new abode admiring the interiors. Also present were Rani's parents, her brother Raja, sister-in-law Jyoti and two-year- old niece Mysha.

There were only about 15 guests at the party amongst whom were SRK, Gauri, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor and Sunita, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle and Sussanne Roshan (Hrithik's in USA shooting for Kites). Aditya Chopra was also missing from the party.

Why they chose to stay away:

Aamir Khan
The dinner was originally planned for Sunday but was cancelled at the last minute, which is why Aamir was missing.

For some reason it kept getting postponed.

The actor left the city on Sunday night. He was in Chennai to award receive an award for the 11th Gollapudi Srinivas National Award on Tuesday, after which he left on an unknown destination abroad.

Salman Khan
Salman and Rani have worked together in many films, including Khan's home production, and ideally he would've been a part of the celebration.

But given Rani's proximity with Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar — both of whom are SRK"s friends — Sallu wasn't invited. Rani as she didn't want any akwardness at her bash.

Saif Ali Khan
Rani's Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic co-star was invited along with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.

But they excused themselves citing Saif's daughter Sara's birthday bash.

The couple stayed away as Bebo isn't too fond of Rani.

They've worked together in the past and never warmed to each other.
