Sources say that Katrina Kaif felt humiliated by the oblique suggestion of Mallika Sherawat that she owed all her film assignments in Bollywood to the clout of Salman Khan, her boyfriend and mentor, and not to her acting talent. Mallika Sherawat had also made fun of Katrina Kaif’s anglicized accent of Hindi, which was a disadvantage in any bollywood movie. Obviously, Katrina Kaif did not like such unflattering remarks about her career and the cold war between the two ladies started.

Katrina Kaif is playing an important part in Firoz Nadiadwala’s Welcome, which is due for release shortly. After ‘ Namastey London’, the hit pair of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif has been repeated in this film and buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that they have once again shown their terrific on- screen chemistry in this comedy flick.

The grapevine has it that Katrina- Sallu relation is also responsible for her mood swings on the sets of the film. It may be recalled that after Katrina tasted some success in bollywood, she started taking her own decisions in relation to her career. This has certainly not gone well with Salman Khan and he is said to be fuming over it.

For the last one month, Katrina has been shooting in Australia for her latest film Singh is Kinng but Salman has not bothered to visit her. Singh is King, which stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina again.

Recently Salman got extremely upset when Katrina informed him that she is doing a film with Shahid Kapoor to be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi. Salman who is currently shooting in Mumbai for Wanted Dead or Alive, directed by Prabhudeva and produced by Boney Kapoor. Bollywood gossipmongers wonder why Salman has not gone to Australia yet, and stayed away from Katrina this long. Given Sallu's track record, this is very uncharacteristic behavior indeed.

Salman is a steady guy, unlike other actors who always get linked with their co-stars. Whenever he has been in a relationship, he has always been committed and never strayed at least not that is publicly known. All his other link-ups like Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani or even Aishwarya Rai had a steady relationship for at least 3 to 4 years before breaking up.

After a failed affair with Ash, Salman has been consistently by Katrina's side but since she have started taking independent decision’s specially that of singing films with Shahid Kapur and John Abraham with whom Salman had a strained relationship. This has come as a last stone for Salman who is furious with Katrina for not respecting his wishes and forced the filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi to drop Shahid Kapur from the film and take somebody else for the project. In the past Salman has always come to rescue ladylove Katrina and always protected her but this time round their relationship is going under enormous strain.

Hmm…hmm…will be interesting to see how our macho man Salman Khan reacts to this cat fight between gorgeous Katrina Kaif and hot, sensuous and sexy Mallika-e- Alam, what say??
