Late-night parties have a long history in Bollywood. Even today big directors and producers party whenever they want. Actor Firoz Khan was fond of such parties. There was going to be a concert of Bollywood stars in the night. According to media reports, all the actors and friends attended the party with their wives and children. Actor Vinod Khanna arrived at the party with his wife Gitanjali. There was an arrangement of food and drink at the party. Simultaneously, singing and dancing were also going on.

During the party, Firoz Khan grabbed Vinod Khanna's wife's hand and forced her to dance. Both were good friends but Feroze Khan was drunk at that party so Gitanjali refused to dance with him. But despite this, Firoz Khan forced Geetanjali to dance.
