Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan in a file photo.
June 19, 2008 (Sawf News) - Bollywood stars lie to the press, with a straight because they are good actors, as often as the tabloid press spins falsehoods about them. Our new column, Celebrity Fib, focuses on star duplicity and offers a prize of Rs 2,000/- to anyone who can logically explain it.
Every week, Celebrity Fib will ask a straightforward question to a star, the answer to which we and our readers already know, but a question that the star will not answer honestly.
Our question this week is directed at Katrina Kaif. "Who is Salman Khan to you?"
Katrina says, " Just another Bollywood star."
However, since we don't equate pedantry with honesty, and are not amused by facetiousness, we reject her answer and take it upon ourselves give one.
Katrina is Salman's girlfriend of nearly four years. Salman is also her mentor in the industry, guiding and shaping her career.
Katrina is frequently seen at Salman's house, and is known to host many of his parties. By Indian ethos, and Salman swears by them, Katrina and Salman are an item.
So why won't she admit it?
We think because she is not completely sure of her relationship as yet, but, honestly, it could also be because she is too smart, too dumb or too scared to do so.
In a recent press interview, she admitted to having been in love, but would not say if she still is.
Though Katrina is often asked about her relationship with Salman, the press never poses a similar question to Salman; we are guessing for fear of being thrashed!
Why can't Katrina and Salman simply say they are dating?
