Karan Johar: '40th Birthday party my biggest hit so far'

Karan Johar says his 40th birthday party is his "biggest hit so far".

Bollywood stars including Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone attended the star-studded bash.

The Agneepath producer, who turned 40 on May 25, told IANS: "The party was meant to be with people I love. I can't help it if I love famous people so much. They all turned up, looking great. I always wanted this."

He went on: "At the lack of having a wedding opportunity, where everybody comes dressed and you want all those photographs in an album somewhere, I just thought I would make the 40th birthday an excuse to call all the people I have interacted with in my 15-year career in the industry.

"I always wanted them to be well-dressed and well-turned-out, so I wanted a red carpet, black tie bash, and that's what I did. It's been my biggest hit so far - my party."

The My Name is Khan director said turning 40 was a good reason to dance.
