Find out how Salman, SRK, Aishwarya, Hrithik plan to celebrate NYE in Dubai

It’s that time of year again when Bollywood slips on those party hats and sprinkles out the confetti – along with scheming a few secret trysts – for their New Year’s Eve celebrations.

A-listers Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and the likes have a few aces up their sleeves to celebrate the special night with a special someone.

Emirates 24|7 goes snooping to dish the dirt on where to find your favourite celeb on December 31:

Shah Rukh Khan

The King Khan has made it his annual sojourn and this December 31 is no less. The ‘Happy New Year’ actor will ironically return to the scene of the crime with his famous family in tow as they plan on ringing in 2015 at their plush villa on The Palm Jumeirah.

The actor, along with wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana and young AbRam will be flying in to Dubai around Christmas time, according to sources.

Meanwhile, older son Aryan Khan will be jetting in from London, where he’s studying, to join his folks and siblings for the celebrations.

Needless to say, chances of close friends of the Khans, including Karan Johar and perhaps Hrithik Roshan too, may join the family for their NYE party on The Palm.

Salman Khan and family

The other Khan of Bollywood is also expected to jet into the emirate with his famous family in tow.

Well placed sources have confirmed the actor will be arriving in Dubai on December 28, a day after his 49th birthday celebration, along with brothers Arbaaz, Sohail and their respective wives.

Would Salman’s rumoured girlfriend Iulia Vantur also be in tow, we wonder?

The coup would of course be if Salman is seen rubbing shoulders with Shah Rukh at his palatial mansion on The Palm Jumeirah.

The Bachchans

The first family of Bollywood, namely Amitabh Bachchan, wife Jaya, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are expected to return to Dubai once again to ring in the New Year.

Naturally, granddaughter Aaradhya will also be an added companion.

For those not in the know, the fabulous foursome, along with baby in tow, were staying at The One & Only Royal Mirage last New Year’s Eve, with a fly by visit by daughter Shweta and her two children.

Abhishek and Aishwarya also own a villa at Sanctuary Falls in Jumeirah Golf Estates. Could a private party be in the works? Let’s wait and watch.

Priyanka Chopra

The Bollywood diva, who has been linked with a certain Shah Rukh Khan in the past by media, will not be in Dubai for the December 31 celebrations, but plans on ringing it in with her family by her side.

The actress told reporters at a press conference recently that she will heading to her home outside Mumbai to ring in the New Year, along with her mother, brother and his fiancé.

However, at an earlier event, Chopra let the cat out of the bag that the home in question will be in fact her holiday abode in Goa.

Anil and Sonam Kapoor

The Kapoors are also headed to, you guessed it, Dubai once again.

The family jetted into the emirate to celebrate Anil Kapoor’s birthday on December 24, along with wife Sunita, daughters Sonam and Rhea.

The gang plans on staying back here for the NYE, while the patriarch of the family continues to flit in and out of his film shoot for ‘Welcome Back’, that is being shot across the UAE.

Meanwhile, those wondering, son and future film actor Harshwardhan will not be joining the family, according to media reports, as he is shooting for his debut project in Rajhastan.

Arjun Kapoor (and Sonakshi Sinha)

The stars of the upcoming ‘Tevar’ are scheduled to launch the promotional blitzkrieg of their thriller on January 3 in Dubai.

We hear, however, that Ajun Kapoor will be jetting into Dubai earlier to spend time with his family, including sister Sonam and uncle Anil, to ring in the New Year celebrations.

Rumoured girlfriend and co-star Sonakshi Sinha is expected to join her friends here too for the celebrations.

Are the friends legit or a ruse, only time will tell.

John Abraham

At a recent media event, the popular actor informed the press that he had no plans to celebrate NYE considering he will be working on the sets of his film, ‘Welcome Back’.

If the actor is jetting back into Dubai for the film shoot, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he, the Kapoors and the rest, end up at Shah Rukh Khan’s mansion on The Palm Jumeirah.

Deepika Padukone (and Ranveer Singh)

Every filmmaker’s darling these days, Deepika Padukone has already jetted off to the Maldives to spend some quality time with her family, including her parents and her baby sister.

Rumour has it that beau Ranveer Singh is expected to join them around December 30 to ring in the New Year with his ladylove.

Katrina Kaif-Ranbir Kapoor

Now that the duo are very much an official couple with a new apartment in their name, where one goes, the other is sure to follow.

Katrina Kaif has already jetted off to London to be close to her family on Christmas, with the actress even being snapped by trigger happy fans at Heathrow earlier this week.

Rumour has it that Ranbir Kapoor is likely to join the actress later in the week.

Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan

The actress, who was in Dubai over the weekend for a jewellery store launch, will jet off with her husband, the Nawab of Pataudi, to their annual vacation in Gstaad, Switzerland.

The annual sojourn for the couple goes like clockwork, with ‘Saifeena’ expected back to Mumbai early January to return to their respective film schedules.

Sunny Leone

Dubai’s very own RNH Events has gone international, booking bad girl gone good for a New Year’s Eve gig in Hyderabad.

Sunny Leone will be performing at a convention hall in Jubilee Hills on December 31, with DJ NYK in tow.

In a media report, the organisers have confessed they were in negotiations since March of the year before finally having the diva sign on the dotted line.

We hear she will be travelling with her own bodyguards to the venue.

Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan

No, they are not a couple as far as we know. However, as Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan are in Sin City currently as they shoot for their dance movie ‘ABCD 2’, the duo is expected to continue their time in Las Vegas and ring in the New Year there.

Rumour has it…

The rumoured couple and Varun Dhawan’s fellow ‘Student of the Year’, Alia Bhatt and Siddharth Malhotra, are allegedly sneaking away for a wicked weekend getaway, according to several media reports.

However, this could be one of those rumours in the wind that blow away on its on accord. Let’s wait and watch for this one.

Meanwhile, we also hear that Akshay Kumar, along with wife Twinkle and children will be giving Goa a miss this year (because a certain Ms Chopra is there, we wonder) and will also be headed to Dubai for NYE; turns out, mom-in-law Dimple Kapadia is already here shooting for ‘Welcome Back’.
