Katrina Kaif reveals her feelings after reuniting with Salman Khan

“Please leave Alia Bhatt for Varun Dhawan, and Salman for me,” Katrina Kaif declared, quite uncharacteristically, at the announcement of a film awards gala on Thursday night in Mumbai. This was in response to a question by a journalist who asked Bhatt when fans could expect her to collaborate with Salman Khan. Kaif jumped the gun, playfully displaying a possessive streak. She is reuniting with ex-beau Khan on screen after five years with Tiger Zinda Hai, and by her own admission, he’s the most funloving co-star she has worked with.

“It is interesting to be back on set with him. Working with him is always entertaining. His presence promises a lot of entertainment. It’s like a continuous TV show, which you watch and feel happy about. He always tries to make everyone smile. People on set, who interact with him, always go home happy,” she said of Salman at the IIFA 2017 press conference.

Salman Khan jumped in to clarify that he takes great care not to offend anybody in the name of entertainment. “My humour is above the belt, always clean. I don’t like to crack stupid jokes or make unnecessary comments,” he said.
