Diwali euphoria at the Bachchan's Jalsa bungalow was quite high on Sunday night as Bollywood celebrities dressed in their festive best celebrated the festival with them. The Bachchans hosted a Diwali party after two years (more on later) and it was packed with star power. From the film fraternity, Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and others arrived while Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, Sagarika Ghatge and Zaheer Khan represented the Bollywood-cricket crossover group. Nita Ambani also attended the Bachchans' Diwali bash with her husband Mukesh Ambani and Radhika Merchant, who is reportedly dating Anant Ambani. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, actor Anil Kapoor also hosted a grand party to celebrate Diwali with his filmy friends but that's another story.
Actress Bipasha Basu, who was among the attendees along with her husband Karan Singh Grover, shared inside pictures from the party, which included hosts Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta, who is married to businessman Nikhil Nanda, attended with her children Navya Naveli and Agastya. Couturier Abu Jani of the Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla duo shared a magnificent picture of Jaya Bachchan, Shweta, Navya and Agastya - all dressed in AJSK label's latest pieces.
Now take a look at the guests - Shah Rukh Khan looked dashing in black while Gauri Khan wore a soft pink threadwork lehenga . Inside the party, Gauri posed with Karan Johar and Rani Mukerji, who wore a purple and white outfit, festooned with polki necklaces.

Actor Akshay Kumar, recently seen in Housefull 4, arrived at the party with his wife Twinkle Khanna and son Aarav. Akshay Kumar had said on several occasions that he rarely attends Bollywood parties. However, it appears he couldn't ignore an invite from the Bachchans.
