Bollywood superstar Salman Khan became the undeniable highlight of singer Stebin Ben and Nupur Sanon’s wedding reception in Mumbai on Tuesday night, turning an already glittering celebration into a full-blown spectacle. Fresh from their destination wedding in Udaipur, the newlyweds hosted a lavish party that drew a long list of celebrities, but all attention shifted the moment Salman arrived.
As soon as the actor made his entrance, the atmosphere changed, with loud cheers erupting across the venue. Stebin Ben, clearly overwhelmed by Salman’s presence, was seen bowing respectfully before the superstar in a gesture of gratitude. The singer had recently shared the stage with Salman during Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded in Doha, making the actor’s attendance even more meaningful for him.
Salman appeared relaxed and charismatic in a sharp blue suit. After greeting Stebin, he walked over to bless Nupur Sanon and then posed with the couple, smiling for photographers and acknowledging the excited crowd and flashing cameras around him.
The reception itself was a star-packed affair. Celebrities including Mouni Roy, Disha Patani, Neha Dhupia, Rakul Preet Singh and Farah Khan were among those who turned up to celebrate the newlyweds. Other guests spotted at the event included Jackky Bhagnani, Ankita Lokhande, Hina Khan and Isha Malviya. Nupur’s sister, actor Kriti Sanon, stayed close to her throughout the evening.
Clips from the night quickly made their way onto social media, where fans shared their reactions to Salman’s calm and composed demeanor. One user commented, “SK maintained his decorum and calmed the groom who was all excited,” while another wrote, “Salman khan always looks handsome.” A third admirer simply added, “Looking awesome.”
Before the Mumbai reception, Stebin and Nupur had tied the knot in Udaipur in a grand celebration that included two ceremonies. The couple honored both traditions with a Hindu wedding as well as a Christian ceremony. They shared their first wedding photos on Instagram on Sunday with the caption, “I did. I DO. I will. Always & Forever.”
In the pictures, the newlyweds were seen sealing their union with a kiss. Nupur chose a white gown for the occasion, while Stebin wore a tailored suit. Their wedding marked the culmination of a love story that had been the subject of speculation since 2023, when they were frequently spotted together on outings and at family events, fueling dating rumours that they later confirmed with their marriage.
