Was it the bindaas Salman Khan, who came in Katrina’s life right when she was at the pinnacle of her success? Or was it the flamboyant actor Ranbir Kapoor, who reportedly had a very secretive affair with Katrina? Was Salman Khan or Ranbir Kapoor actually Katrina Kaif’s boyfriend?

Old bf of Katrina Kaif

While Salman and Katrina have publicly denied their relationships time and again, Salman’s father and Bollywood screenwriter Salim Khan has given clues that Salman and Katrina indeed had a thing going on. The first we heard of a possible Katrina – Salman rift was in the pre-release period of the latter’s Dabangg, when Salman was said to be favouring Sonakshi Sinha over Katrina. But the rumour mill soon proved wrong as Salman Khan – Katrina danced together for Farah Khan, and Katrina even made a public appearance at Salman’s Being Human event. To top that, Katrina was even one of the first ones to wish Salman on his 45^th birthday! All seemed well between them as Katrina and Salman had a roll, shooting for a special episode of Bigg Boss. Salman even wooed Kat in front of the whole nation… the two were even considered to be the hottest Valentines couple.

What went wrong then? Why did Kat have to give up her almost steady boyfriend who has one of the most successful runs in Bollywood?

Maybe Ranbir Kapoor has the answers. After working together in Raajneeti, Ranbir and Katrina developed a good equation. Somewhere down the line, after Ranbir’s public split with Deepika Padukone the cool dude actor decided it was time to move on. And pretty soon, Katrina and Ranbir were seen secretly dining together at restaurants. Obviously, tongues started wagging and talk of Katrina’s new boyfriend became commonplace again. Many reports claimed that Salman had taken offence to this new relationship… others denied any friction. The truth, we are sure, lies somewhere in between…
