"Shiro is really stirring up a storm literally!" - stresses avid party animal and active socialite on the page 3 circuit - Kishen Mulchandani

PROFILE:

Kishen Mulchandani is a top businessman and socialite. Kishen, who is now in his late 30s, entered the restaurant business because for him an industry that is driven by meeting people is not about hard work, just pure fun.

His restaurant, Palkhi, in Colaba has been his favourite room since it first opened its doors. He describes his restaurant as "my den and playroom".

If Kishen is not throwing a party at Palkhi, then he is partying at one of the "happening night spots" in the city. Pick up any newspaper and Kishen's name will pop up as the Pasha of Party-makers -- a reputation he parties hard to live up to.
