Salman Khan’s ladylove, then life gets more challenging, both professionally as well as personally. In a recent interview with a leading film magazine, Katrina bared her feelings about being Sallu’s girlfriend and its various consequences.
According to Katrina, while the advantages were many, there was no dearth of drawbacks either. Being Sallu’s girlfriend has helped her find a footing in B-Town, where only a lucky few manage to make it without a godfather. At the same time, it’s her relationship with the bad boy of Bollywood that has led to her washing hands off many a film as well as stage shows. She said, “Though many things have been said about me and Salman, nothing has changed my relationship with him. I’ll always be thankful to Salman and if it means that I lose film offers, then so be it.”
Thanks to Salman’s volatile nature, the soft spoken Katrina has found it difficult to maintain a cordial relationship with everyone in the industry. However, she is not complaining. She says, “This is a professional industry. I was a complete outsider here when I joined. Nobody knew anything about me. Nobody knew what my nature was like. For all you know, I would have signed a film and never turned up. I could have been the most unprofessional person. The biggest hurdle for me was to prove myself professionally.”
She also spoke about the actors she’d like to work with. While Akshay and Salman were bound to be in that list, she said she’d also like to work with Saif Ali Khan. As for working with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Aamri Khan, she says, “Shah Rukh and Hrithik do one film in a year and Aamir does a film in 2-3 years.” Her point being?
