Mumbai, June 13: Yet again, hot-headed Salman Khan is angry with one of Katrina’s co-stars! And this time it’s Neil Nitin Mukesh, who’s been warned by Salman to stay away from his woman.
Neil’s regular habit of calling close friends ‘sweetheart’ landed him in trouble after he fondly addressed his ‘New York’ co-star in the same way. A source said, “Recently, Salman had gone to an airport to pick up girlfriend Katrina Kaif. After he picked her up from the airport, he took her phone and suddenly dialed Neil’s number. Like he usually does while attending calls from friends, Neil picked up the phone and said, ‘Hello, sweetheart’. The moment Neil uttered those words, Salman immediately replied, ‘This is not your sweetheart.’ Neil, who was taken aback, instantly realised that it was Salman on the line and not Katrina.”
Reports reveal that Neil didn’t wait to apologise and said, `I am sorry, sir’.
But, of course, Salman didn’t let him off with a simple apology. He strictly told Neil not to call others’ girlfriends ‘sweethearts’. Even though he apologised again, he could not pacify the angry boyfriend.
Well, Neil was wondering what Salman would do next, and would he even allow good friend Kat to speak to him after this. But much to his surprise, Salman didn’t even bother to take it up with Neil, when they later met each other. “Salman met Neil very warmly and also gifted him some Being Human (Salman’s charitable organisation) T-shirts, which Neil often wears,” added the source.
Confirming the news, Neil said, “Yes, this did happen. Katrina is a dear friend. I have become a bigger fan of Salmanbhai after I recently met him. I always address those I love as sweethearts. They (Salman and Katrina) are truly sweethearts.”
