Goodbye Ganpati: Kat, Sangeeta, Salman

Salman Khan sent his Ganpati off in grand style with family and close friends with a Ganpati Visarjan ceremony in Mumbai. Fans and cameramen had gathered outside his residence just to get a glimpse of the actor, and Salman Khan didn't disappoint them. In this picture, Salman is seen with his younger brother Sohail Khan.

Salman's ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif, always included in family celebrations, didn't miss this festive occasion. But, alas, we could hardly see her face.

Salman's ex-flame Sangeeta Bijlani, who very close to his family, looked beautiful in a pink salwar-kameez. She is seen here sitting with actress Preity Zinta.

Salman's co-star in Dabangg 2, Sonakshi Sinha, made sure not to miss the festivities. The actress was dressed in a cream salwar-kameez. Sonakshi, once considered Salman's protégé, has been missing from Khan family celebrations of late, fuelling rumours that she had been ousted from Salman's camp. This seems to prove otherwise.

Lady in red, Preity Zinta joins in the celebrations.

Malaika Arora Khan looked gorgeous as ever in a cream and golden anarkali.

We love VJ and actress Sophie Choudry's outfit.

Preity Zinta and Sonakshi Sinha make a pretty picture together.

Juhi Chawla made a rare appearance for the occasion.

Mom's the world – Salman's stepmother Helen and mother Salma Khan don't seem very pleased to see the crowd.

We also spotted ace designer Manish Malhotra looking less than festive.

Ameesha Patel didn't seem as enthused by the celebrations as the rest.

Salman Khan watches the proceeding with his good friend Preity Zinta.
