We take a look at the ones who got hitched this year in Bollywood. Arpita Khan & Aayush Sharma This was 'The wedding of Bollywood' in 2014. Salman Khan booked Hyderabad's famous Falaknuma palace for his little sister's wedding that cost him a cool 1 crore per day. No efforts were spared in making the wedding uber luxurious and all those who mattered in the country flew down to Hyderabad for the palace wedding on November 18th. A couple of days later, the festivities continued at the mega-reception thrown at a five-star in Mumbai where SRK made a splash by meeting and greeting the newlyweds and dancing the night away with Sallu Bhai and family. Post Arpita's wedding, every girl in India wishes to have a brother like Salman.

A pundit was flown in from India to complete the rituals. And since the groom was Aditya Chopra no pictures from the wedding has been made public yet. The newlyweds reportedly threw a small reception for industry colleagues at their residence later on. Rani returned to work as YRF's new madam-in-charge.
