Don’t know if I can call Salman a friend: Sonali Bendre

Salman Khan’s baby sister Arpita Khan tied the knot with Ayush Sharma in Hyderabad on November 18. And while the ceremony was graced by many Bollywood celebrities, one of Salman’s co-stars was missing from the wedding.

Salman and Sonali Bendre wooed us with their sizzling chemistry in “Hum Saath Saath Hain”. But the actress was missing from Arpita’s wedding festivities. During a promotional event of "Happy Ending" on Sonali's show "Ajeeb Dasthan Hai Ye", she said that she is not even expecting to be invited as she and Salman are not that close.

We know that Salman's ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif took an active part in Arpita Khan's wedding when she put in a special request for her make up artist to pitch in when Arpita was left without one at the last minute. It is no wonder then, that Katrina made that trip to Hyderabad to be part of Arpita's grand wedding.

She is clicked here with her 'Ek Tha Tiger' director Kabir Khan, his wife Mini, Karan Johar and Aarti Shetty. Kabir is currently working with Salman in the movie 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. He tweeted the picture saying, "Pink faces at the wedding :-)"

However, it seems like Katrina's current boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor was not invited to this one.

Bhai keeps asking me if I am sure about marrying Arpita: Aayush on Salman

We know that Salman Khan is turning the world upside down for his darling sister's wedding. However, what does it feel like, to be marrying the favorite of the Khan brothers and the youngest & most pampered daughter of the Khan-daan.

Aayush spoke about this in an interview with Hindustan Times. He said, "I have my individual ­equation with each of them (Khans). As they are much older, I maintain a relationship of respect and love with all of them. Bhai (Salman) keeps asking me, ‘Are you sure you want to marry my ­sister?’ (Laughs)."
