Salman Khan shared a candid throwback picture with Katrina Kaif from the time they went on The Kapil Sharma Show together to promote their film Bharat. In the photo, they could be seen looking at each other and smiling.

“Wish u an amazing birthday Katrina ! Healthier wealthier wiser birthdays with lots of love n respect in your life. @katrinakaif,” Salman wrote in his Instagram post. Katrina was rumoured to be in a relationship with him several years ago, before she dated Ranbir Kapoor.

Earlier, in 2019, Katrina said that Salman has ‘unfailingly and intuitively’ been there for her whenever she needed him. She said at the Hindustan Times Mint Asia Leadership Summit in Singapore, “Salman has really had my back, and has been there for me as a friend and a support over the years, unfailingly and intuitively. There have been moments where I was going through a particularly rough time in my life; a struggle, and with no contact, all of a sudden, our paths would just cross, and he would be there.”

Meanwhile, Katrina is gearing up for the release of Sooryavanshi, which marks her onscreen reunion with Akshay Kumar after a decade. The film, originally scheduled to release last summer, has been indefinitely postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. She also has Phone Bhoot with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter in the pipeline.
