Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan held a lavish party at the Billion Dollar hotel in Dubai over the weekend. Says a source, “After the launch party of Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, hosted by international hotelier, Sol Kerzner (Chairman- Kerzner International) and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, SRK and Gauri hosted a party at their Atlantis Bridge Suite (costs £14,000 a night).”

The source adds, “At the after-launch party, SRK and Gauri played host to some of Hollywood’s biggest names like Robert De Niro, Gerard Butler, Mischa Barton, Mary-Kate Olsen, Kylie Minogue, Charlize Theron, Lindsay Lohan, Wesley Snipes, tycoon Richard Branson and some of SRK’s close friends from B-Town like Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan, Arjun and Mehr Rampal and Farhan Akhtar. The rocking party went on till the wee hours of the morning.”

Says Shah Rukh, “Yes we finished at 7 am and had a great time. I feel that I had to take care of the guests because Sultan (Ahmed Bin Sulayem), the owner of Nakheel Atlantis treats me with much love and goodness. I personally invited all the guests. Sultan gave me my house here on The Palms.”

When asked if he had a chance to speak to Robert De Niro on cinema, Shah Rukh says, “No, we couldn’t speak with De Niro about cinema because Hrithik, Farhan and I just couldn’t stop smiling and behaving like mad fans but we had great conversations with the other actors, Wesley Snipes, Gerard Butler, Lindsay Lohan and singer Kylie Minogue. All of them were so sweet, loving and cool. The Sultan was with his other guests. There were hundreds of people.”

Other celebs including supermodels Agyness Deyn, Petra Nemcova and Yasmin Le Bon, musicans Janet Jackson, Lily Allen and Shirley Bassey, sports legends like Michael Jordan and Boris Becker were present.
