Katrina Kaif invited to watch Dabangg

When the first screening of Salman Khan starrer ‘Dabangg’ took place for its cast and crew, Katrina Kaif was shooting right in front of the theatre and was invited in. But the babe couldn’t go.

This comes amid much speculation over Salman and Katrina’s relationship.

As Salman’s brothers and the rest of the family walked into the theatre in Film City, they were in the mood to invite Katrina and the rest of the crew too of ‘Tees Maar Khan’ to watch ‘Dabangg’. Apparently Salman wanted the team to join them.

"Sure enough, Salman’s sister Alvira walked out from the theatre to where Katrina, Farah Khan and the gang were shooting. Alvira personally invited Farah’s team to watch ‘Dabangg’ with them. Unfortunately, it was not possible as Farah’s shooting went on till late”..

Katrina and Alvira bonded like really close buddies, said a source.

Actor Sonu Sood says, "It’s true Farah Khan and her crew were shooting nearby. But they couldn’t join us."

Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha and his wife were also conspicuous by their absence at the screening as ‘Dabangg’ is their daughter Sonakshi’s debut film.

Salman Khan and Govinda blow over Sonakshi Sinha

Once touted as best friends, Salman and Govinda can’t see eye to eye any longer. The two actors have reportedly fallen apart and it’s all owing to Salman’s latest fixation with Sonakshi Sinha. Buzz has it that Govinda, who was counting on Salman to pave way for his daughter Narmada’s debut in Bollywood, is increasingly peeved with the actor as he has snubbed Narmada to give Sonakshi a larger than life start in Bollywood.

According to a source, “Narmada is as beautiful and talented as Sonakshi. Last year, Salman was very much involved with grooming Narmada. However, after he started shooting for ‘Dabangg’, he has eyes and ears for Sonakshi and not Narmada.”

And Govinda, though feels cheated, has refrained from voicing his feeling as he feels indebted to Salman for helping him get ‘Partner’ in 2007.

But a lot has changed between the two pals now, as under ideal circumstances, Narmada should have signed a movie or two by now.

“There was a time when Govinda used to frequently visit Salman’s house, Galaxy Apartments at Bandstand. Not anymore. After working on ‘Partner’, both actors were almost inseparable and loved being with each other, be it at home or even in autorikshaws, out for a spin in the middle of the night,” added the source.
