PIX: Sanju Baba parties with Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra kicks off Bollywood's weekend parties.

Days ahead of his birthday, Bollywood's favourite designer hosted a party at his Mumbai home.

It wasn't Manish's birthday party though.

The celebration was for his friend Rita Vaswani's birthday.

Rita is married to Stallion Group Chairman Sunil Vaswani. Manish had designed the bridal wear for their daughter Sonam's wedding in Vienna earlier this year.
