She raised eyebrows by signing Yash Raj Films' New York opposite her boyfriend Salman Khan's adversary John Abraham, but Bollywood's reigning actress Katrina Kaif never crossed limits. In fact, she avoided conversing with John on the sets of New York unless it was related to work. John too on his part maintained a stoic silence and kept his distance from her. In short, Katrina and John were engaged in a constant cold war on the sets of New York, directed by Kabir Khan (Kabul Express).
Our source close to New York says, "Katrina and John weren't at loggerheads, but yes, the absolute aloofness they maintained was quite obvious. Their conversations were restricted to a minimum and they did not even exchange pleasantries."
Katrina is known to be someone who is good pals with most of her co-stars like Akshay Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor, so why this animosity? Our source explains, "Salman and John have been at loggerheads since a long time. Besides, Katrina and John's girlfriend Bipasha Basu have never seen eye to eye."
Let's rewind to circa 2006 to know how it all started. The battle of egos between John and Salman dates back to the Rockstars' show held in July 2006. The premiere party of Baabul and the audio release of Salaam-E-Ishq saw the two avoiding eye contact. The battle reached a higher level at GIFA in Malaysia when John refused to play with Salman in a friendly soccer match.
