Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s equation has always been a topic of intrigue for Bollywood fans. Their off-screen camaraderie, former romance, and playful banter often make headlines. However, one particular incident on the sets of Bigg Boss left Katrina visibly uncomfortable, giving rise to speculation about their equation at the time.
Allegedly, Salman and Katrina had recently ended their relationship when the makers of Bigg Boss decided to invite her onto the show as a guest to promote her upcoming film Tees Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar.
She arrived in grand style, making a sparkling entry in a stunning red gown and setting the stage on fire with a performance to her chartbuster, Sheila Ki Jawani. The episode that was meant to promote her film but followed an unexpected moment of tension between the former couple.
Salman, known for his wit and spontaneity, engaged Katrina in a conversation about her career and co-stars. He initially kept the tone light, asking her about the experience of working in Tees Maar Khan. However, in an unexpected turn, he made a remark that caught everyone off guard. Addressing Katrina, he said, "Aapne abhi Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, hum sab ke saath kaam kar liya. Ab aapne pakda hai Ranbir Kapoor Imra Khan... isse bhi neeche jayengi aap?
To this, Katrina Kaif playfully replied, "sure, I can work with kids"

The comment, a direct reference to Katrina’s then-rumoured relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, left her visibly flustered. Although she attempted to maintain composure, the remark had clearly unsettled her. A Report from Times of India mentioned that she quickly wrapped up her segment and left the shoot soon after.
Salman’s comment fuelled media speculation regarding his feelings about Katrina moving on. At the time, rumours were rife that Katrina and Ranbir were dating, a development that had reportedly not gone down well with Salman.
This was not the first instance of Salman taking a playful yet pointed dig at Katrina in public. Over the years, the Tiger 3 actor has made several such remarks, often in a teasing manner, but this particular instance seemed to carry an underlying sentiment that did not go unnoticed.
Despite such incidents, Salman and Katrina have remained on good terms. They have continued to work together in films such as Tiger Zinda Hai, Bharat, and Tiger 3, maintaining a professional and friendly relationship. Their on-screen chemistry continues to be a favourite among fans, and their off-screen interactions, though occasionally laced with subtle jabs, also reflect a long-standing friendship and mutual respect.
While neither Salman nor Katrina ever addressed this particular Bigg Boss incident in detail, it remains one of the most talked-about moments in their history.
It showcased not only Salman’s uninhibited personality but also Katrina’s ability to handle tricky situations with grace. The episode remains a classic example of how Bollywood relationships often make their way into public interactions, leaving fans to speculate and dissect every moment.
Even years later, Salman and Katrina’s interactions continue to captivate audiences, proving that their dynamic—whether as co-stars, former lovers, or close friends—is one that Bollywood fans will always find intriguing.
