On November 18, Bollywood stars set their work schedules aside for actor Salman Khan's sister Arpita's grand wedding in Hyderabad. While the nuptials took place in the regal Falaknuma Palace of the city, the pre-wedding rituals were held at Salman's Mumbai residence some days earlier. Here's a look at the top 10 pictures from Arpita's wedding album.
The youngest of the Khans, doted on by her brothers Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail, Arpita truly had a dream wedding and it started with a dazzling mehendi-sangeet function in Mumbai. Here, Arpita is decked up in an embellished lehenga by Sabhyasachi as her mehendi is applied.

Post-wedding fun: Arpita dropped a kaleera for actress Katrina Kaif, who is reported to have just moved into a new home with rumoured boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor.
Bollywood nights: Katrina, a close friend of the bride and her family, performed with Salman and her Dhoom: 3 co-star Aamir Khan. Salman and Aamir also sang Aati Kya Khandala and danced to the title track of Dabangg.
Salman and Aamir accompanied the newly-weds for a short but sweet media interaction after the wedding. For the after-party, Arpita changed into a lighter ensemble, also by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
Blame it on Ellen DeGeneres and the Oscars but no event is complete now without a celebrity group-selfie. Arpita and VIP guests Aamir, his wife Kiran Rao, director Karan Johar, TV personality Mini Mathur, her husband and director Kabir Khan, and Katrina clicked a happy-face selfie.

This photo, from the Mumbai haldi ceremony, made big news. The week-long wedding celebrations began with a bang as actor Shah Rukh Khan and the bride's brother Salman ended a six-year-long feud, sealing it with a kiss to Arpita's forehead.
