Hrithik Roshan’s ‘noisy’ birthday bash costs hotel Rs25,000 in fines

Bollywood actor Hritik Roshan’s 42nd birthday bash allegedly cost Four Seasons Hotel in Worli, Mumbai Rs25,000 (Dh1,372.13) in fines after locals complained of noise.

The party on Saturday-Sunday night was held at the AER Lounge on the 34th floor rooftop and attracted a large crowd of celebs besides some gate-crashers.

Local resident Ashraf Khan — passing by at 1.30am when the celebrations were reaching a crescendo — complained about the loud music and also the vehicles haphazardly parked outside creating a snarl at that unearthly hour.

Since it was already past the official deadline of 10pm, police visited the hotel and imposed a fine of Rs12,500, but the loud music continued.

After repeated complaints by Khan, the police again visited the hotel around 3.30am and slapped a second fine of Rs12,500 on the hotel manager.

That did the trick and the loud partying finally ended. When contacted by IANS on Wednesday, a hotel spokesperson refused to divulge details.

“You ask the complainant how the sound reaches the ground from the 34th floor and the police about the fines,” the spokesperson said.
