Much has been written about Salman Khan, who is one of the most successful actors of his generation, and along with Aamir and Shah Rukh, makes up the top three male stars. Girlfriend Katrina Kaif has been causing a stir in the film industry with her fresh beauty and rocking style. Together, they create quite a pair, having made a movie together, and featured on the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
The 41-year-old scion of a film family, Salman has been not-so-quietly ruling over Bollywood's tinseltown from his apartment in Bandra, a posh suburb of Mumbai. After his first big break in Maine Pyar Kiya, for which he took home a Filmfare award, he went on to moderate success until his pairing with Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Other hits followed including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Biwi No. 1.
Besides his acting prowess and commercial clout at the box office, Khan is also known for his impeccable sense of style. He prefers casuals to formals, primarily in black and blue. Most of his outfits consist of tight jeans with tops and tee shirts. He enjoys shopping in London and Singapore and his closet is mostly full of Italian threads by Armani and Versace. Always the movie star, he never leaves for a trip without packing his prized shades and colognes. Of all of the people in his life, Salman most admires parents, director Salim Khan and wife Salma.
Salman's
keen eye for fashion is only surpassed by his eye for the ladies. Having come out of relationships with model Shaheen, former actress Sangeeta Bijlani, and Loreal spokesmodel and actress Aishwarya Rai, Khan has moved on to starlet Katrina Kaif. Bijlani settled down with a cricket player some years back, while the gorgeous Rai recently got married to fellow thespian Abhishek Bachchan. When Rai was questioned last season on Koffee With Karan about her feelings regarding ex-boyfriend Khan, she merely glared at the host and said, "Next question." After contradicting reports emerged over Rai's ousting from the film Chalte Chalte, Khan also fell out with producer Shah Rukh Khan. He later famously patched up with him on a special celebrity episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, competing alongside Katrina for charity.
When not in the news for his steamy affairs and films, Khan has been in trouble with the law for shooting chinkara, an endangered species of Indian deer. Truly, there's never a dull moment for fans of this Bollywood hottie with boyish looks and a clever wit to match.
Kashmiri-English model Katrina Kaif was a virtual unknown before dating the playboy A-list hottie Salman. After originally denying the relationship repeatedly to the press, she later came out and has been fairly open about her liaison with the star. Still in her early twenties, Kaif has yet to make an impact on Bollywood, but has the looks and youth needed to go far in this business. A true fashionista, Kaif's wardrobe for her character in her latest film Namastey London was purchased herself. She graced the screen in spaghetti-strapped dresses, backless tops and miniskirts. She was recently named one of the "Best Dressed Women of Bollywood" by Rediff.com. At a recent filmi event, Kaif took to the stage with Khan after Abhishek Bachchan pulled then-fiancé Aishwarya on with him. Rumors flew that two days before the Rai-Bachchan wedding, Salman and his ladylove would marry. While they proved to be false, only time will tell if the glamorous pair will settle down.
Bollywood
brat Salman Khan and Kashmiri-English model Katrina Kaif have little in common, except love and good tastes in fashion and style, but that may just be enough going by the maturity and restraint they exude when together.
