Katrina Kaif's family members have flown in from London for the wedding; her mother Suzanne Turquotte travelled to Jaipur with her, and sisters Isabelle and Natasha were photographed at the airport as well.

The Punjabi flavour began with a 'ladies sangeet' organised by Veena Kaushal on Tuesday at the wedding venue - Six Senses Resort, Fort Barwara in Sawai Madhopur. A source told Bollywood Life, "Veena ji is very fond of Katrina. And while there will be the big Sangeet night later today, she wanted to do something more intimate and special and so she organized a small Ladies Sangeet ceremony just like the typical traditional Punjabi style," a source told Bollywood Life, There were dholki's that the women from Vicky's family played and they sang some Punjabi folk songs which are all about marriage, married life and the life that lies ahead for the young couple. Veena ji wanted to give Katrina and her family from London a taste of Punjabi culture and this fun family affair was just the right way to do it. Katrina also danced a little to the Punjabi songs on dholki beats and was smiling throughout."
