Madhur Bhandarkar was relatively early at travel industry honcho Joe Rajan's poolside Christmas bash. Joe, who has incidentally done cameo roles in three of his old pal Madhur's films, was joined by wife Rochelle in welcoming the predominantly Bollywood crowd including actors Gulshan Grover (who said he's been a regular at Joe's Christmas parties for several years) and Aditya Pancholi, besides Bhootnath director Vivek Sharma and politicos Baba Siddiqui and Krishna Hedge. The first turkey disappeared soon enough, but presto, another was waiting in the wings (so to speak) to take its place. The second one could well have been to celebrate Joe’s company Harvey India’s fifth anniversary. Also spotted were Suhas Awchat (who seemed to be having a great time),  Shweta Pandit, Vickram Kumar, Ashoke Pandit and Kamlesh Hemdev among others. Quite a fun affair.
