Bollywood: Katrina, Salman together forever

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif

What makes Salman-Katrina's relationship more beautiful is their low profile love story, they never make public display of their personal emotions, and they always maintain a silence about their liaison. But in thick and thin, both never fail to stand by one another's side and lend mental support. If Salman has helped Katrina in firming her foothold in Bollywood then Katrina did not stay behind in lending emotional support to Sallu during his bad days.

In five years, the duo has seen many ups and downs in their relationship. If now they fight regarding some issue, the other moment they are together. They have done couple of films together but they have never exhibited their off-screen love on-screen for promotional purpose.
