King Khan spent new year's eve performing at a private bash in Gurgaon...and while he was at it, he also made a whopping Rs 5 crores for a 10 minute performance on Thursday night at a private party at Gurgaon's Umrao Resort.

The party, high on the glamour quotient with Bollywood and TV stars flown in, was clearly the most lavish display of wealth. With Rolls Royce Ghost and Hummers parked proudly in the arena, the guests, close to 3,000 in number, were brought inside in decorated horse carriages after the valets took their cars for parking. Every round table had expensive imported liquor, juices and dry fruits, with more than 250 varieties of dishes from world cuisine being served for dinner. A coffee bar, with over 20 flavours of hot and cold coffee, a make-shift ice bar kept at a temperature of minus 11 degrees and a counter with over a 100 varieties just of paan were the biggest crowd pullers. There was also a special lavish buffet, in the side lawns, for over 400 drivers of the guests.
