For co-host Pari Bagga, planning a menu suiting everyone’s tastes is important. She says, “What matters to us the most is that our friends have a good time. While planning the menu for food and drinks, I keep everybody’s tastes in mind so that our friends can eat, chill, laugh and enjoy their time with us.”
