The entire night was a fun-filled event. Various celebrities like Mika Singh, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Varun Dhawan, and many more shared the stage to shake a leg.

It seemed that the entire atmosphere of the wedding once again stirred up the emotions of Salman Khan that he had in the past for his ex-flame Katrina Kaif. All the celebrities certainly seemed to be having a gala time at the stage, but looked like Katrina Kaif was not really willing to come up on the stage and perform.

From the stage, Salman Khan said on the mic while the song chikni chameli was being played, "Katrina Kaif, your song is playing – please come on stage." While the actress tried to avoid, Salman eventually said, "Not Katrina Kaif – Katrina Kapoor, please come on stage." As Katrina went on to the stage, the actor jokingly mentioned, "I gave you a chance to become Katrina Khan, but you chose to be Katrina Kapoor." Woah! That's interesting! Check out the video yourself:
