Shahrukh Khan Is Afraid to Work with Salman Khan's

A few weeks back Shahrukh Khan was accused of snubbing Katrina Kaif while discussing his upcoming project with the Yash Raj production house. Now it seems the reason has come out: Shahrukh is still a bit scared of Salman Khan.

Salman Khan of course was the long-time boyfriend of Katrina Kaif, helping her get a foot in the door in the industry when she was first starting out. Even though the two have since broken up they remain close, and Shahrukh isn't a big fan of working with Salman Khan's women.

The problem stems back to SRK's Chalte Chalte days. Aishwarya Rai had been cast opposite Shahrukh Khan and at the time she was dating Salman Khan. The two had a bitter breakup and Salman stormed onto the sets of the film in an attempt to get to Aishwarya. In fact Salman caused so much trouble for Shahrukh that Aishwarya was asked (quite unfairly) to leave the film. She was replaced with Rani Mukherjee and from then on SRK has been worried about working with any woman connected to Salman Khan.

It seems that Shahrukh took Katrina aside and had a heart to heart with her, and Katrina Kaif assured him that Salman wouldn't cause any problems for Shahrukh.

Regardless of her assurances, Shahrukh Khan is probably wishing he had Priyanka Chopra as a co-star again instead of Kat--at least there are no angry ex-boyfriends lurking in PC's closet to worry about!
