The Ninth Edition of the HELLO! HALL OF FAME set yet a higher bar for award ceremonies, whether one is talking about the sheer range of personalities who sashayed in on the red carpet, the diversity of high net worth individuals who had assembled from North, South, East and West into one elegant Astor ballroom at Mumbai’s St Regis hotel. The sit-down dinner, curated by Chef Dane, in collaboration with the HELLO! team and culinary savant Rashmi Uday Singh, ensured happy palates, preceded by the peerless Moët & Chandon bar in the cocktail lounge area.

As is the case each year, the stage resounded with talent and explosive moments of joy, reminisces and confessions. The night opened with a stellar cocktail lounge mixer, where prominent city personalities rubbed shoulders and conversed. This year, given the general need for the modern human being to imbibe the secrets of a balanced life, HELLO! honoured not just the rich and famous, but also those whose work impacts mind and body. Author Amish Tripathi shared how he wished for a stressed out humanity to revisit spiritual ideas, while Dr Harald Stossier shared that how one ate was more important than what one ate, as the city’s millionaires took note.
