The sold-out, talk-of-the-town, lavish affair raised $837,500, and is the first event to kick off gala season, after an obvious two-year hiatus. The Biblio Bash was welcome treat as people have started to come out of a forced hibernation and begin socializing and strutting their stuff again.

CHFI's Pooja Handa looked amazing, and was joined by her co-host, Gurdeep Ahluwalia.
