Inside Alia Bhatt's Birthday Party: Shah Rukh Khan, Sidharth Malhotra On Guest-List

New Delhi: Actress Alia Bhatt had a very happy 24th birthday in Mumbai on Thursday, capping it with a party to which she invited several colleagues from Bollywood. The party-goers included her Dear Zindagi co-star Shah Rukh Khan, her director and mentor Karan Johar, and actor Sidharth Malhotra who is not only her co-star from the films Student Of The Year and Kapoor And Sons but also rumoured to be her boyfriend. Alia's latest film Badrinath Ki Dulhania, produced by Karan Johar and co-starring Varun Dhawan, is burning up the box office so Alia had every reason to celebrate. Arrivals at the party were headlined by SRK, 51, who was photographed being driven to the venue. 

The guest-list also included Ayan Mukerji, who is directing Alia and Ranbir Kapoor in his next film, and Puneet Malhotra:
 
Varun Dhawan would certainly have been there, had he not flown out to Bangkok with rumoured girlfriend Natasha Dalal on a working holiday.

Alia Bhatt was wished by many other colleagues on Twitter - her Highway co-Randeep Hooda; Shandaar and Udta Punjab co-star Shahid Kapoor; actors Sushant Singh Rajput, Dia Mirza and Jacqueline Fernandez; designer Prabal Gurung, whose clothes she often wears; and, notably, Hollywood director Paul Feig who described her as a 'huge talent' and said he'd like to work with her.
