Indira, Subbarami Reddy hosted a dinner for Padma Bhushan awardees

To felicitate Padma Bhushan awardees Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and B Muthuraman, Indira and Dr T Subbarami Reddy, MP, hosted a dinner in the capital.
Shabana came with husband Javed Akhtar, who kept stealing glances at her while she mingled with the guests.
A bevy of political heavyweights braved the sweltering summer evening and waited patiently for the star guests to arrive. Once they did, ‘Garam Dharam’ kept his cool despite being formally clad, and smiled benignly as a lot of people in their 50s behaved exactly like teenaged fans would, jostling for a picture with him.Reddy, consistently cheerful, stayed busy escorting guests in and out and must have walked a mile as he played the attentive host to everybody present.
PS – A couple of guests wanted to advise a guest who alighted from a chauffeured Merc that it’s not good manners to have your chauffeur stop your car and help you put on your immaculately ironed jacket, while half-a-dozen cars behind wait for the sartorial exercise to get over. So we’re conveying that advise here.
