DJ Aqeel recently shared his experience of playing at Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan’s events. While Shah Rukh Khan’s parties at Mannat have become less frequent, there was a time when they attracted a star-studded guest list.
In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, DJ Aqeel talked about how Shah Rukh Khan’s parties were always packed with stars like Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Salman Khan. SRK was known for his great hospitality. Aqeel shared that he had to choose the right music, playing songs from each star to get everyone on the dance floor.

DJ Aqeel also shared that he developed a sixth sense and could tell when actors noticed their songs weren’t being played. He would spot this just by observing them. He explained that at the start of the party, the actors would be standing in corners with their groups, but later, they would join the dance floor and let loose.

Aqeel mentioned that during the heyday of these legendary parties, celebrities could dance and have fun without worrying about social media documenting their every move. He also highlighted that SRK’s parties were legendary due to his star power, warmth, and exceptional hospitality skills.

DJ Aqeel went on to describe SRK’s unique hosting style, mentioning the amazing food, drinks, hospitality, and high attendance at his parties. People would travel from all over to attend. Aqeel, who’s been in the music industry for over a decade, revealed he would earn 30K-40K per night for playing at SRK’s parties.
