yes exactly!! However, she has her own appeal and that has definitely helped her along the way too. But Salman really helped her career in the beginning, getting films for her and such. He even said so himself!!! Also, she was his long time gf, and Salman is uber popular. Katrina also has an interesting background which is still controversial and talked about today...but for the most part...as of now I find her appeal and schitck boring af now. Only so many item numbers you can do and flowerpot roles you can play.
Ah now that's another juicy topic but you know what? that's another story for another time 😈
But come to think of it....if Salman never supported and promoted a talentless hack like her so vigorously, then Katrina would have gotten typecasted and continued doing 'clean' films like Boom out of sheer desperation. So yup....her career trajectory would have been similar to the likes of Mallika Sherawat, Koena Mitra, Elli Avram or Udita Goswami!
And here's the truth...straight from the horse's mouth! So let's not rewrite history 🤪

Kaif insists Bachchan is the only `man` in her life and trashes industry rumours linking her to Bollywood brat Salman Khan. According to her: "There is no denying that Salman and I shared a very good understanding at one time. While people are free to presume what they will, let me make it clear that there was no intimacy between us. As a friend I am grateful to Salman for having introduced me to the right people in cinema and fashion."

Why can’t I be happy for Salman: Katrina

I have been able to achieve this position in Bollywood because of Salman Khan. When I came to Mumbai, I knew no one. It was Salman who held my hand at that time. The media unnecessarily hypes our relationship. The truth is that Salman is nothing less than Godfather for me.
