All roads in Mumbai will lead to St Regis Hotel in Lower Parel Mumbai on Tuesday night as newlyweds Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma will host a grand reception for their friends and colleagues. Since the two are from different professions- Bollywood stars and Indian Cricketers are expected to be attending the gala event. 

The function will take place at Astor Ballroom of the hotel, which has a seating capacity of 300 guests. Located on the 9th floor, the ballroom has 23 foot-high ceilings and crystal chandeliers.

Among the guests, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar and other Bollywood celebrities are expected to attend the event.
