Bachcha party: MP Jaya Bachchan and Shashi Tharoor, along with I&B minister Ambika Soni, attended the premiere of the film Gattu in the capital recently.
Nandita Das, chairperson, CFSI (Children’s Film Society, India), was at the helm of affairs along with the movie’s director Rajan Khosa, as they introduced the lead actor, little Mohammad Samad, to the guests.
Special appearance: Jaya said, “I haven’t seen any of the recent children’s movies, like Chillar Party, Stanley Ka Dabba or I Am Kalam. This is a welcome change for me.” Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor made an appearance towards the end, and when asked about that, Shashi said, “She had a backache, and came in for just a few minutes to congratulate Nandita.”
