Taking a cue from the Deoras themselves, the evening reception to celebrate the marriage of Hema and the late Congressman Murli Deora’s son Mukul, with Nitasha, daughter of Jyoti and Vikram Thapar, was a blend of the old and the young, the traditional and the trendy, the established and the edgy.

Held at the Tote over the weekend, the evening saw business heavyweights like Nita and Mukesh Ambani, Parmesh and Adi Godrej and LN Mittal with son Aditya mix easily with a slew of fashionistas, stylists, restaurateurs and artists like AD Singh, Reena and Jitesh Kallat, Alex Kuruvilla and Mozez Singh. We spotted Lalitha Mallya, Munna Javeri, Manmohan Shetty (whose daughter Pooja is married to Milind Deora), Pratima and Gaurav Bhatia and Che Kurien, editor of GQ, in the happy ensemble. Making a rare appearance was Dimple Kapadia, whose daughter Rinke is married in to the Thapar family.
