Akshay threw a party and called Shah Rukh too

Akshay kumar decided to throw a party for Kambakkht Ishq and New York. He called Shah Rukh Khan to be part of it. Unfortunately Sahah rukh was away shooting at San Francisco and couldn't make it, but appreciate the gesture nevertheless.


Akshay said: "Yes, I did call Shah Rukh Khan to invite him. When Kareena and I suddenly decided to have a party, we decided we'd invite the entire industry. This wasn't a party to celebrate our success alone. It was also a party to celebrate the success of New York as much as my own film. So, apart from me and Kareena, the party's unofficial hosts were Katrina (Kaif), John (Abraham) and the entire New York team."

"I want them to celebrate any success and not be happy when films fail. When New York was released, SMS messages against the film were sent out. The same thing is happening with my film. Why be negative? Specially when I've always been happy for all my colleagues' successes?" Akshay asked.

"So yes, I personally called up Shah Rukh and all my colleagues for the party. But he's shooting in San Francisco...There will be plenty more occasions, I'm sure," the actor said.

It was the first party that Akshay hosted as he felt the need of one at last. "I completely shy away from parties. But this time I think we all needed to express solidarity and happiness over the end of the prolonged slump," he said.

The impromptu party was Kareena's idea. "We quickly drew up a list. She invited her friends. I invited mine. Then we began making the calls. Then there was Tina (Twinkle) who called her friends. That just about covered the whole industry," Akshay added.

What was the party like? "No drinking for me. But a lot of dancing. It was a lot of fun," added Akshay.
