Will he, won’t he? Speculations on whether Salman Khan will attend his close friend and protégée Katrina Kaif (soon to be Kaushal)’s wedding in Jaipur later this week can be laid to rest. Sources close to Salman reveal that the entire Khan family is expected to attend the Katrina-Kaushal wedding in Jaipur. “Katrina is very close to Salman’s sisters. Both his sisters are expected to attend with their husbands. I think Katrina is also keen on Salman’s parents and Helen Aunty attending the wedding. But considering their age and health they may not be able to make it,” says the source. As for Salman attending the wedding, no one knows how his mind works, especially when it comes to Katrina who, according to his close friends, is the only woman he really wanted to marry. But as their relationship evolved, Katrina outgrew Salman.

Jacqueline Fernandez’s troubles are growing by the hour. On Sunday evening she was stopped at the Mumbai airport from leaving the country after being named as one of the beneficiaries in alleged con-man Sukesh Chandrasekar’s Rs. 200-crore money laundering case.
