Aamir’s Khan threw impulsive bash to celebrate Delhi Belly’s success

Aamir Khan broke free of his three years of no drinking rule on Friday night ...actually Saturday morning, when he threw an unscheduled impromptu party for the spectacular opening of his production Delhi Belly at his residence in Bandra.

Yes, Aamir can be unrehearsed and spontaneous too, if he wants. He proved it on Friday night with his impulsive decision to have a party and an even more impulsive decision to drink after staying away from alcohol for three years.

Says an invitee at the party, "Yes, Aamir suddenly decided to host a party for all the cast and crew of Delhi Belly at his residence. He drank for the first time in three years. Aamir had champagne and Bacardi. We were all surprised when he phoned us to come over to his house post midnight on Friday evening. We thought it'd just be a small and brief celebration for the delightful opening of our film. But the celebration went on until morning. We left at 4 am."

Significantly the film's official director Abhinay Deo was missing from the bash. Apparently Abhinay is in London. More importantly the Delhi Belly writer Akshat Verma who, to everyone's surprise, has been billed as the film's associate director in the credit titles, was openly and wholeheartedly thanked by Aamir for his contribution to Delhi Belly.

Says the invitee, "Yes, Aamir thanked everyone. But it was Akshat whom he thanked first of all. And that was not a coincidence. We could see Aamir wanted to make public Akshat's contribution to Delhi Belly." While every member of the Delhi Belly cast had a blast.
