No celebrities were spotted that night other than Vijay Mallya, Siddharth Mallya and Sanath Jaysurya besides a few RCB team members. Even Sachin Tendulkar was missing despite the fact that his team won that night.

Ronit Roy, the IPL Nights security in-charge, did not let mediapersons click any pictures. Even party animals were stopped from clicking the models with their cellphones.

Not many celebrities were spotted at the IPL post-match party the night bombs blasts happened outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. Moreover, the party that started at 10 pm was all over within an hour.

Sangeeta Gopal, a city fitness trainer who has been attending IPL parties like many others, said, "Who wants to be treated like a beggar for a free drink? Anyway, the IPL fashion shows are hardly fashionable.

And haven't we seen enough of them? Most of the cricketers are out there to have a good time with the Russian babes."

Zubair Ahmed, CEO of Factory Events, an event organising firm, says, "After all that happened last week, I would never like to go to IPL 'after parties'.

First of all there is so much bhaav to get in. Once you enter there is too much riff-raff. What's the fun in attending this so-called exclusive party?

With security guards pointing guns at them, no sane party animals would like to attend such an event again. So what if a friend gets your name included in the guest list?"
