So far, so good…

Mumbai, June 28: No one messes with Salman Khan’s girl – and even John Abraham would rather keep the peace.

No one messes with Salman Khan’s girl – and even John Abraham would rather keep the peace. After Sallubhai’s reported displeasure at Katrina’s intimate scenes with John, not to mention reports of them sharing a close friendship, the two actors are watching their step.

At a press meet called to cheer the encouraging opening of their film New York, John, Katrina, Neil Nitin and director Kabir Khan addressed the media at PVR, Phoenix Mills on Friday — but it was sub-script that was more intriguing.

The distance maintained by John and Katrina was so deliberate, it was almost painful. While Katrina and Neil chose to travel in the same elevator, John took a separate one, though they’d all arrived together at the multiplex. There was a brief ‘you go first’ as they sat on twin-seater sofas –John took the one with Kabir while Katrina parked herself with Neil.

Even for the photo ops, both look uncomfortable when too near to each other. But still, Katrina certainly isn’t a shrinking violet.Asked whether she’d like to, given a choice, do a film with either Neil or John, Katrina firmly countered, “Actually both John and Neil. I loved working on this film with them. By the end of the shoot, we were in fact looking to come up something that would inspire a sequel. It would be great if that happens.”

Attagirl.
