A Halloween party titled Oh! My Gosh was organised by Hasan Rizvi on Saturday.
The party, up to date with the elicit fear of clowns following the blockbuster ‘It’, boosted the same theme. The venue’s entrance was turned into a series of tunnels with some leading to a pile of trash with floating dolls while some lead to nowhere and opened on walls. Hasan Rizvi was inspired by the live actors at Haunted House in Toronto and has been meaning to introduce something like that in Pakistan for a while now, and Oh! My Gosh certainly paid off the wait. The clowns, alive and scary, hid in corners or behind random doors lured everyone to balloons and danced the terrifying dance, giving guests jump scares. The theme music and projections elevated the ambiance.
The event was attended by celebrities and socialites including Kubra Khan, Yasir Hussain, Momal Sheikh, Sarwat Gilani, Fahad Mirza, Ghana Ali, Gohar Rasheed, Anam Tanvir, Rafay Rashdi, Maryam Rashidi, Mathira Muhammad, Feroza Muhammad, Muneeb Butt, Ayesha Khan, Meera, Bilal Ashraf, Nadia Hussain, Adnan da Eddester, Hira Hussain, Nomi Ansari, and Tabassum Mughal.
The event was sponsored by Polani Travels and Scentsation who also gave away prizes to the best dressed couple and three best dressed individuals respectively. The couple Sadaf Hamid and Changez Khan won tickets to Dubai and Momal Sheikh, Fatima Hasan and Yasir Hussain won gift hampers.
Oh! is a series of private events organised by Hasan Rizvi under BBPR. The events are themed according to the trend or the timing of when they’re taking place. Oh! My Gosh 2017 was the second Halloween party under Oh!
