The reception saw the creme de la creme of the film, sport and business society come together at the hotel for a glittering evening with the royal couple to raise funds for organisations including Childline India, Magic Bus and Door Step School, India.
The stars, which also included names like Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, Farhan Akhtar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Kapoor, were dressed elegantly -- mostly in creations by designer Manish Malhotra, but Duchess of Cambridge, who is known for her style, stood out in a blue gown for the evening.
