It has been 5 years since Salman and Katrina got involved with each other and their relationship went through lots of problems, and it was reported on a number of times that the two stars went very close to cut their relationships. Now that, Katrina Kaif refused the marriage proposal of Salman Khan, it seems the relationship has finally come to an end.

You all know about the conflict between two bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Both the actors were involved in a heated conversation during the birthday party of Katrina Kaif last year and that was the start of their feud. Since then, both the actors declined to work with each other.

However, Salman Khan has recently said that he has no problem to work with Shah Rukh Khan. While addressing to media at a press conference of his television show Dus Ka Dam, Salman Khan was asked if he would any problem if Shah Rukh Khan is invited by the show producers to attend the show as a celebrity guest.

Many people in India used to respect Hrithik Roshan because he wad dedicated to his wife Sujana Khan. However, now a day, it seems that Hrithik Roshan is giving more time and attention for Barbara Mori rather than his own wife. Well, until now, Hrithik Roshan has just said that it is friendship but the amount of media coverage that I can find indicates that there is something more going on between them. I am not still sure what is going on but if the media rumors are true then I have to say that he is a great fool. If he thinks that Barbara Mori will be good like his wife then he is day dreaming because it is clear that Barbara is trying to get as much coverage from media as possible. She is from Mexico and I don’t think that she will even want to settle in India. Of course, from up I blame Hrithik Roshan more than Barbara Mori because he is a married man and even he has a kid. So, it is his responsibility to keep good distance with other women. About this matter, I think that Shah Rukh Khan is the best. Although, Shah Rukh Khan number one in Bollywood for many years but until now we have not heard any rumor or scandal abut him with any other woman. So, Hrithik Roshan should go to Shah Rukh and get some tips about being dedicated to the wife.
