Unless you live under a rock, you’ll know that Manish Malhotra recently celebrated his 50th birthday in the most stylish and extravagant way possible. In attendance were the who’s who of Bollywood, and trust us, they ALL looked like a dream! Here, look for yourself.

But one thing that caught our eye was the absence of Bollywood’s leading lady – Deepika Padukone. Rumours were rife that DP skipped the bash to avoid coming incccxc contact with Katrina Kaif but those have now been put to rest. Turns out, the actress was busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s upcoming flick Padmavati, and shot till the wee hours of the morning.

Looks like work really does come first for the lady and that’s exactly how it should be. Nonetheless, we’ll keep waiting for her next appearance 🙂
