A wedding reception has been planned for 21st November. It will be held in Mumbai and is expected to be attended by the creme de la creme, from all over the country.
Here are some famous names from Khan's guest list:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi:
Salman Khan has reportedly invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the wedding reception. He went to Delhi to invite Modi with his elder sister, Alvira Khan. The Prime Minister's Twitter handle confirmed meeting Salman Khan, but did not elaborate upon whether he was invited to the wedding.
Khan's family is known to be fond of the Prime Minister. The actor and his father, Salim Khan, were invited to the Modi's swearing-in ceremony and Modi had also called on Khan when he launched the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'.
Aamir Khan
When Aamir Khan was told that Salman Khan had especially called upon Shah Rukh Khan to attend the reception, Aamir said he doesn't need a formal invitation to attend his buddy's sister's wedding.
He said, "Salman aur main itne kareeb hain ki unko apni behen Arpita ke liye invitation card dene ki zaroorat hi nahin hai. Unki behen ki shadi ho rahi hai, meri behen ki shadi ho rahi hai." [Salman and I are so close that he doesn't need to send me an invitation card for Arpita's wedding. His sister's wedding is like my own sister's wedding.]
Shah Rukh Khan
It seems Bhai's ace rival, Shah Rukh Khan, will also be present. According to reports, Salman personally invited Shah Rukh Khan for the wedding.
At a recent event when SRK was quizzed about his presence at Salman's sister Arpita's wedding, Shah Rukh shot back saying, "I don't need any invitation to attend Arpita's wedding. I have seen Arpita as a baby. I have cradled her in my arms so I will definitely be a part of her wedding. I share a very warm relation with Salman and his family is like my family. I will definitely go for Arpita who is like my own sister."
Katrina Kaif
According to reports, Salman has also invited ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif. However, we are not sure whether she will attend the ceremony with her rumoured boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor. However, if she does attend the event, it is most likely that Kapoor will accompany her. Given the rumours that Ranbir and Katrina are going to move into a swanky sea-facing apartment in suburban Bandra, it seems unlikely that they'll attend a wedding without each other. Or, will they?
Amitabh Bachhan, Hrithik Roshan and more...
Salman has also reportedly invited Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Deepika Padukone among the reported 250 guests.
From the South too...
Some A-listers from South including Chiranjeevi, Kamal Haasan, VijayNagarjuna and Venkatesh have also been invited along with their families.
Sonia and Rahul Gandhi
According to the Indian Express's report, the groom's side has invited Sonia Gandhi to the wedding along with Rahul Gandhi, the Himachal Pradesh governor and the entire state cabinet of HP. This Himachali connection is because Arpita's groom, Aayush, is the grandson of former telecommunications minister Sukh Ram and the younger son of Himachal Pradesh cabinet minister, Anil Sharma.
