Meanwhile, one isn't sure if all other celebrity relationships will reach the altar. There's whisper that one of the big Khans, who doesn't much care for Deepika Padukone and has never worked with her, had a man-to-man conversation with Ranveer Singh, wondering if Khilji was moving in the right direction with his choice of life partner. One can't say if Ranveer was influenced but we'll know soon if there's turbulence in his friendship with DP.

So why doesn't this Khan like DP? There's a story that when she was seeing Ranbir Kapoor and found him straying, she went to the Khan and told him that his girlfriend was double-timing him with her boyfriend. It is said that the Khan wasn't amused with this tattling and whining. The temperamental Khan felt that instead of complaining about his girlfriend, DP should have been looking at her boyfriend's jumping hormones. How much of this is garnish, one doesn't know. But it is a fact that he has avoided working with DP ever since. Even though Deepika was eventually proven right - the girlfriend did move in with Ranbir soon enough.

The Khan is fierce about his pets and his peeves. When the girlfriend split from Ranbir, she returned to him, without the special girlfriend status. The Tiger Khan is not just protective of her and works willingly with her, they also delivered one of the biggest hits of 2017 in December.

Incidentally, while there's the general feeling that Katrina is yesterday's headlines, she's the only one who has films with all three Khans. Apart from Tiger Zinda Hai, which released recently, Katrina is part of Zero, in which SRK plays a midget, and Thugs of Hindoostan with Aamir. Impressive for someone whose career is said to be in its sunset phase.
