The wedding celebrations of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's sister Arpita Khan with businessman Aayush Sharma began at the Taj Falaknuma hotel in Hyderabad on Tuesday evening.
The celebrations kicked off with the baraat at 4:30 pm in the heritage hotel located in the old city area.
The baraat included horses and two bands, one from Delhi and one from Hyderabad.
The wedding rituals are being performed as per Punjabi Hindu traditions.
Kabir Khan tweeted:
Top stars from Bollywood and Tollywood, and businessmen were among the 250 guests invited for the wedding.
It was not clear which stars are attending the wedding as a thick security blanket was thrown around the hotel.
Salman booked the entire 60-room hotel for Tuesday and Wednesday. The celebrations will conclude Wednesday with a farewell lunch.
Hundreds of Salman fans, including young girls, gathered outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of the stars.
The menu for the party includes Deccani cuisine, especially Biryani and Haleem and double ka meetha.
Falaknuma is one of the most beautiful palaces of the Nizam, the ruler of erstwhile Hyderabad State.
The palace, which the Taj Group converted into a luxury hotel and opened four years ago, has 60 lavish rooms, decorated halls and a 101-seat dining hall, said to be the biggest in the world.
Its Durbar Hall, embellished with intricately carved wooden ceilings, parquet flooring, regal walnut wood furniture and handcrafted mirrors, had once hosted guests like King George V and Czar Nicholas II.
Located five km from Charminar, Falaknuma - or 'mirror of the sky' in Urdu - is a scorpion-shaped, all-marble palace which was once the residence of Mir Mahboob Ali Khan (1869-1911), the sixth Nizam.
It was Nawab Vaqar-ul-Umra, the Nizam's prime minister, who built the palace in 1893. Impressed by its magnificence, the Nizam bought it for himself.
A couple of suites including the one used by the Nizam are the most expensive. The hotel charges over Rs 5 lakh a night for the Nizam suite.
