Mumbai, Jan. 8 -- The weekend saw Rhea Pillai host a cosy ladies' lunch for a group of her close friends at her well-appointed apartment in Pali Hill. Seen on the occasion were the likes of Shweta Bachchan-Nanda, accompanied by daughter Navya Naveli, Queenie Singh, Kaajal Anand, Rukhshana Eisa and Pillai's teenage daughter Aiyana. "It was for no special occasion, very casual, just a catch-up given that it's New Year and all," said the hostess' long-time bestie Singh about the afternoon, which saw most of the fashionistas eschew their Dolce & Gabbana LBDs and Jimmy Choos to show up in blue jeans and comfy tees. "There was only a few of us invited, and Rhea had prepared delicious ghar ka khana." As to how and when the two became such fast friends, whether through their modelling careers or through their mutual interest in Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living, Singh said it was the former. "We've known each other for over 25 years now. She's like a sister to me," she texted. And yes, the text was packed with a series of hearts, kisses and other emoticons to convey how chilled and warm and loving the occasion had been....
