Priyanka, Kajol, Arjun Rampal avoided Shah Rukh Khan's party?

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan lives life king size and in his reign there's no dearth of friends and well-wishes.

So when the King of Bollywood throws an Eid party the crème de la crème of Mumbai descended at his home Mannat.

Almost the entire Bollywood came to celebrate Eid ul Fitr that went on till the wee hours.

But we couldn't help observing few notable absentees - his 'Chennai Express' heroine Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and Arjun Rampal.

Arjun Rampal may have been missing from Shah Rukh Khan's Eid bash but he made it a point to attend Shaad Ali's party on the same occasion. Arjun came with his wife Mehr and happily posed for snapshots.

His absence from SRK's party raise questions whether Arjun is avoiding his once good friend? His wife Mehr was spotted arriving solo for Shah Rukh's bash.

For a while now Arjun and SRK's strained relationship has been under the scanner. There was a time when SRK and Arjun were an intrinsic part of each other's lives. But something went awry between the two and things are no more the same.

Although she was by SRK’s side consistently during the promotions of 'Chennai Express', Deepika Padukone had to give his Eid party a miss for professional reasons. Deepika had a prior commitment to shoot for an ad in Milan. The shoot had been planned four months ago. Despite her keenness to attend Shah Rukh’s party, it was always known that she wouldn’t be able to make it.

Priyanka Chopra is in a whirlwind tour promoting her latest single 'Exotic'. And hence good friend Priyanka was nowhere to be seen in the party. Few days back she was in California launching her celebrity milkshake, 'The Exotic'. Later she attended the premiere of 'Planes' and flipped the coin for a Real Madrid vs Everton match. From Los Angeles to Las Vegas Priyanka is going places.

The lastest Bollywood love-birds, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, after being caught red-headed vacationing in Spain decided to stay away from the limelight. Of course, Ranbir is busy completing 'Besharam' and Katrina is neck deep planning a wedding. Katrina's sister Natacha's wedding date is inching closer and the actress has taken up the tough job of preparing the wedding menu and finalising the bride's trousseau. Katrina will also be a bridesmaid at the nuptials.

Ajay Devgn and Kajol were invited but the couple did not attend. Kajol was in fact missing from the premiere of 'Chennai Express' as well. Though Kajol attended Ekta's Iftar party, she was not spotted in Mannat. Ajay is busy promoting 'Satyagraha' and probably couldn't make time but Kajol hardly has any reason to stay away.

Another good friend who was missing from SRK party was Juhi Chawla.

It is believed that Shah Rukh personally sent out the invites for his party to all his friends from the industry.
