Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif was initially reluctant to share a funny anecdote, but with some encouragement from Karan Johar and Anushka Sharma, she eventually decided to spill the beans. Laughing, she recounted, “Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor met me when I was 17. Me, Salman Khan, Varun, Arjun, and a few of us were walking on the bandstand. Varun was kind of checking me out. I like to say things like this but he was, ok. So basically, he got into trouble.”

When Karan asked “With whom, Salman?,” Katrina said, “Yes, he was kind of pulled up on it. After that Varun and Arjun actually got a club and they named it ‘I hate Katrina’. It was a hate club for me and they just hated me. Why they hated me, I don’t know. I was just walking, minding my own business. They were behind me that’s their problem.”

Katrina Kaif further revealed that it was Varun Dhawan who initiated the club, though she couldn’t quite understand why Arjun Kapoor decided to join. Watch the amusing video below:
