Sharing it, Preeti wrote, “From meeting old friends to making new ones, last night was so special. There is nothing more sexy and beautiful than an independent, powerful and talented woman. Here’s to all those beautiful women out there.” Mention who are in these pictures and who were. At the party. I interacted with most of them, joked and got completely silly and loved every bit of it, because real women compete with each other. They don’t – they support and empower each other and have fun together.
