Katrina Kaif to Alia Bhatt: Leave Salman Khan for me

Salman Khan is one of the actors in Bollywood which every actress wants to share the screen space with. But it looks like his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif is a little uncomfortable with Khan romancing other divas. In fact, she even gave a glimpse of her discomfort during a recent interview, where she clearly stated, 'Leave Salman for me'.

This happened during press conference for the upcoming International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards featuring Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif. During the event, Alia was quizzed about working with Salman. While the diva stated that it happens soon, Katrina quipped saying, "Please leave Alia for Varun and Salman for me."

Considering their age difference, Salman quipped, "We are trying to remake 'Papa The Great'."

Interestingly, this year IIFA will see ex-lovers setting the stage on fire after a long hiatus. Not just in IIFA, Salman and Katrina will also be sharing the screen space after five years in their upcoming movie 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and Kaif just can't stop gushin about Salman.

"With Salman, it is always entertainment and that is the most wonderful thing. It's entertainment around and for you. So, it's like a continuous TV show. He has a lot of love to give so you feel happy and good," Katrina was quoted as saying

Defending his on-set antics, Salman said, "The humour is always above the belt and not below the belt.. It's clean."

The three actors participated in a video conference with journalists from New York, London, Dubai, Chicago and Houston.

The IIFA awards will be held in New York from July 13 to 15 at MetLife Stadium.

Currently, Katrina Kaid is busy with her upcoming movie 'Jagga Jasoos' opposite ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, which is expected to release on July 14.
