From all accounts, Hrithik Roshan's 41st birthday was brought in with great style and panache at the private upper deck of Exo on the 38th floor of Palladium, with 70 or so close friends of his, mostly from the industry.

“Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Abhishek Bachchan with sis Shweta and Anurag Kashyap were some of the familiar faces at the party, for which no expense was spared to celebrate the newly single star’s big day,” says a source.

But what pleased many was the fact that even as the star is clearly enjoying his new found singledom and letting his hair down (well only metaphorically, he chose to keep it neatly down under his trademark bowler hat all evening), guests were delighted to see that the star had invited his former brother-in-law, Susanne’s brother Zayed too.
