Sara Loren, the Pakistani actress formerly known as Mona Lisa, is not known to be a party girl. However, as the adage goes, when in Bollywood do as the Bollywoodians do.

One of the very few films that Sara L is doing in India is Barkhaa, directed by Shadab Mirza. Last week, the filming of the project finished on time, after which the producer of Barkhaa, Shabana Hashmi arranged a big do. They call it a ‘wrap-up party’ in India. Apart from the heroine of the film, its male lead Taaha Shah also attended the bash. And they had a whale of a time.

Good for Mona Lisa, oh sorry, Sara Loren. Make sure you don’t party too hard because eventually you will have to come back to Pakistan where partying is not seen in a favourable light.
