Photo Credit: IANSMay 18, 2008 (Sawf News) - Katrina Kaif denied that boyfriend Salman Khan hit her in her vanity van during the filming of Subhash Ghai's Yuvraj, after seeing photos of her cozying up with Akshay Kumar during an IPL match in Delhi.
"Nothing of the sort happened. I don't understand, why can't the media leave us alone," Katrina told HT City.
The reason why the media cannot leave them alone is because a source on the set told Mid Day that unit member heard Salman screaming at Katrina and abusing her, while the two were locked up in her vanity van for three hours.
"He was overheard telling her, 'How can you treat me like this, what the [bleep] do you think you were doing with Akshay in that match… now you're here like nothing has happened and trying to act all cool!'" the source says.
"Katrina was quiet even as Sallu raved and ranted. Once or twice, she tried to reason with the actor but to no avail. Katrina was crying and what she was saying was inaudible. But she surely said something which pissed Salman off even more because we heard a loud slap! Which was followed by many more."
Salman's publicist told HT City, "Sallu bhai is too chivalrous to do such an act. He is too soft hearted to raise hand on Katrina."
However, there have been reports earlier of Salman physically abusing Katrina.
He was reported to have slapped her in front of several onlookers at Bandstand Barrista, a coffee shop in Bandra, late Thursday afternoon January 31. That story too was denied by Katrina.
Katrina, 23, and Salman, 42, have an intriguing relationship. The two have never declared themselves an item yet Katrina frequently hosts parties at Salman's house and attends public events as his arm candy.
When Aishwarya Rai broke up with Salman she said in a newspaper interview:
"The Salman Khan chapter was a nightmare in my life and I am thankful to God that it is over. I stood by him enduring his alcoholic misbehavior in worst phases and in turn I was at the receiving end of his abuse (verbal, physical and emotional), infidelity and indignity. That is why like any other self-respecting woman I had ended my relationship with him."
Is Katrina Kaif at the receiving end of a similar abusive relationship now?
