Actress Vidya Balan, who recently moved into her new four-bedroom apartment in Khar, says instead of throwing a housewarming party she will invite her friends in separate groups for dinners so that they can enjoy themselves thoroughly.
“I think it’s imprudent to invite all your friends all at once. This makes the gathering unmanageable. Guests who don’t know one another get uncomfortable,” she said.
“So, I’m having a series of sit-in dinners in my new house where groups of friends who know one another can come together for cosy comfortable conversations and food,” added the actress.
Before that Vidya wants to make sure that every little thing in her new house is perfect.
“I’m fastidious about cleanliness to the point that if I feel a drawer is messy, I will clean it up at 3 in the morning,” she said, adding, “Shifting into my new home after the release of Ishqiya is a conscious move. I think after Paa and Ishqiya, I’ve earned myself a place of my own,” she said.
