On Tuesday a group of tinsel town celebrities, including Daisy Shah, Nikhil Dwivedi, David Dhawan, Siddharth Roy Kapur and Divya Kumar Khosla were spotted at the Yash Raj Films Studios here.
Salman's rumoured Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur, whose recent public appearance with the superstar had sparked reports of their marriage, was also present.
