The year was 2009. John Abraham and Katrina Kaif were coming together for a film called New York. And it was reported that this time Katrina wanted to throw John out of the film. But Salman asked her to do against it. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif came together for the first for the 2005 comedy Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. They were last seen in the 2023 action thriller Tiger 3.

On the show called Aap Ki Adaalat, the Dabangg actor was quoted saying, “I remember the visual of Katrina crying while saying, ‘My whole career is destroyed’. I had to deal with it for three days. I thought she is going to be one of the biggest stars we have in the country and why is she crying?”

Bhai added, “I told her, ‘You will be laughing at it after a few years’. But she was like you are saying it because you are a big star, you don’t feel it. I told her. ‘They must not have understood your English and Hindi. First, work on it and she learnt to write and read Hindi in just two days.’”

In the same interview, Salman heaped praises on his Tiger 3 co star and said, “She worked hard to reach where she is today. Then this film came and she was like, ‘This has John in the film’. I told her, ‘So what? It could be anybody in the film. You are doing the film because you like the script, you like the director, and anyone can be your co-star.’ She was like, ‘No, but he took me out of that film.’”

The actor continued, “I said, ‘Be magnanimous. Today, you are in a position where you can do this (remove John from the film) since you are friends with the director and with the production company. He can be replaced any time but it is not the righteous thing to do.’ She understood that, she worked with him and it became a hit.”

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have been one of the most successful on screen couples in the Hindi film industry. The actress has thanked the superstar many times for making her a star. She said she is what she is only because of him. And the actor jokingly quipped ‘Woh jhooth nahin bolti.’
