Who would've imagined that a brief interaction by chance with @theshilpashetty , the extremely charming & well-mannered Viaan & the adorable little munchkin Samisha at another very dear client's birthday would lead to something this EPIC (in my favour).
Right from the get go, it was soon obvious that we were in the presence of an exceptionally humble, friendly & completely grounded human being & i started to look forward to being a part of this amazing occasion.
Im equally grateful to both @dipali.porwal & to my client who provided Dipali's reference (who's name i simply cannot recollect at this point) for the instrumental roles they played in the build up to this glorious day.
And on an unrelated but equally significant note.. id like to mention and once again thank my all-time fav angels.. Mira & Shahid for a similar act of kindness last year which gave me the confidence boost & validation to strive for reaching the stars (quite literally haha)
Kicking off 2023 in a positive way with Prithvi Ambani's 2nd birthday extravaganza
Was so awesome interacting with you - @shloka11 , mom & Prithvi & i can authoritatively say that your love & enthusiasm for candyfloss are simply unparalleled in any adult human being thus far !
Such a friendly, humble and polite bunch !
Grateful for this 🙏
Ever since the 1st time i saw Kabir Singh years ago & became such a mental fan of the movie, i always hoped the day would come when my business would bring me an opportunity to interact with Shahid and for me to let him know how much his performance has entertained me. Turns out that's exactly what happened !
A big thank you to Mira, Anaisha & Aarti for everything leading up to this amazing occasion :)
Special mention for Shimul Modi for even agreeing to meet me at the venue at 1 am to ensure im allocated a prominent, visible spot.
Finally made it poolside after a couple of near misses ! Thanks for having me & i owe you guys one for this 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
Thanks, Soha, Simran & of course Nayntara for the roles you guys played in the build-up to this happy day
Birthday bash to remember forever 🥳🖤💗
#SavePost#SharePost#AnaayasBirthday#AllTheDetails
Venue:
@playseum.in - Mumbai’s first children’s museum at Linking Road was just the perfect venue with so many experiences 🤩
Decor:
My 9 year old whose turned into a K-pop fan chose her theme as black pink 🎸🎶😁
With my busy schedules, I left it completely on @dohremico and they executed the decor so beautifully 👏
Organic Candy Floss Cart:
@cottoncandycasa with 19 flavours of organic candy floss was the best decision as not only the kids but I have personally enjoyed it too. Coffee was my favourite flavour and the kids loved chocolate, watermelon etc without any colour, preservatives etc
Cake:
We had the yummiest cake from @bakedbysanika which din’t only look so appealing but tasted even better.
Return Gifts:
@sayonara.toys no one could do the return gifts station like you guys. Honestly the kids loved choosing their own returns as per their likings from the amazing options 🤌
Twinning outfits:
@ranikidswear these elegant pink dresses couldn’t get better which were so comfy and at the same time looked so pretty 👯♀️
Thank you @makeoverbykausar for my natural and super light makeup just the way I wanted for a child’s birthday party!
Also, as Anaaya turned 9 we did a party with her few friends whom she wanted around her!
It was a drop off party which means mommies got their time off while the kids were at play 🥰

Without a doubt, my event(s) of the year 🙏
Funny back story but true.. the 1st time i bumped into Mrs. Kapoor at a very dear old client's bday in August 2022, i was getting mobbed by kids and i have only a faint recollection of this pretty & slim & tallish mother wearing a dark green, fitting jumpsuit asking me about my availability for 2 upcoming birthdays & then im almost neglecting the conversation (what a dufus i am) saying.. "Sure ..here's my business card, lets talk over the phone tomorrow "
A few days later, im at Funky Monkeys, Lower Parel for a gig, and Sanjay Ghadiali (love you for this bro) very casually questions me if i met Mira Kapoor at that party ?
And then it hits me (pretty damn hard) and the frantic rush that follows to obtain Mira's number.. finding the courage to text her at 11 pm, receiving her positive response at midnight, and the rest is history !
So long story short.. Im grateful to the universe for that day and can never stop beaming and grinning from ear to ear like a startruck fanboy every single time i bump into these guys at birthdays 🙏
Supremely grateful to @theshilpashetty , Raj, @theviaanrajkundra & of course my guiding light.. @dipali.porwal for having us over once again ❤️
Thank you, Shilpa & Raj, for your uber-generous praise & positive comments on my work cause at the end of the day, thats what keeps me going & makes me push myself to work harder, stand on my feet for longer, reach out personally to every single child & parent & set higher standards & goals for myself with each passing event.
A ginormous thank you to every guest for your epic response & we tripped on the way your little faces lit up with delight over and over again.
Sadly, the extremely handsome foursome (who i wont name haha) remained unconvinced yet again & its only pushing me harder to come up with more interesting flavours for the future ✌️
And finally, a short but pleasant interaction with you @shamitashetty_official towards the end about birthdays back in the day left us super impressed with your frankness and down to earth personality 😀
A shout out to the birthday parents lntalwar_ & Taranjit Kaur for having my setup at their action-packed football themed bash at Lodha Park.
A Thank you to all you super enthusiastic kiddos & to all you gatecrashers too for the Epic response 🤣
& being Re-united with the dream team @percycooper & @anaya_shah14 was an added bonus ❤️
Thank you @sash.punwani & @doubledecker_playarea for having our setup at Ivaan's superhero themed 4th birthday celebration.
Not a dull moment with old clients & ex west wind babies galore at this one ♥️
