Bollywood ladies attend Anu Ranjan's b'day party
Raveena Tandon, Bhagyashree, Padmini Kolhapure and Alka Yagnik - some of Bollywood's women's brigade members came together to celebrate Indian Television Academy (ITA) co-founder Anu Ranjan's birthday here.
Witty Anand of Club Milennium hosted the birthday party Wednesday night with a naughty cake in the form of a man with a bare torso and with a ribbon around his waist. This was a highlight, and it left the guests and Anu amused, said a source.
