I am not Salman Khan's girlfriend: Bruna Abdullah
Brazilian beauty Bruna Abdullah speaks about the rumour that she is the new woman in Salman Khan's life.
"Back in Mumbai there are strong rumours about me and Salman Khan. But this is the most ridiculous piece of news," said the model and VJ in a telephone interview from Brazil.
"He's a chocolate boy. He might be a Greek god, but I am not Salman Khan's girlfriend," she giggles. Bruna said she was grateful for the interest that Salman had taken in her career but that was as far as their relationship went. She said he was visibly devoted to Katrina Kaif and that Katrina had in fact been with him on one of the only two occasions that she had met the actor.
The first meeting was for work and the second, she says, was just a social meeting. "I had gone to meet Salman, and later we were joined by Katrina."
"They are an extremely lovely couple... Katrina is the one who calls the shots." Industry insiders say Salman has been aggressively promoting Bruna and praising her continuously. "I love Bollywood, and what could be better than to have a mentor in none other than Salman Khan," she said.
Bruna says her phone hasn't stopped ringing about the alleged affair. "It seems the entire India wants to talk to me," she says in her first interview on the matter.
"But I have a very loving boyfriend and we have been in a relationship for the past two years." Her boyfriend, restaurateur Sunny, owns two restro-lounges in Mumbai.
About the rumours affecting her relationship, she said, "We are too much in love to be bothered by it." Bruna is now set to move into Bollywood.

"Main Hindi seekh rahi hoon [I am learning Hindi]," she says. And she has an unusual "Hindi guru" to help her — Katrina Kaif. "She is so sweet. Both Katrina and Salman have been helping me with the Hindi language," she says.
But she's clear she won't sign any movies without some expert advice. "Before I sign on the dotted line for any movie, I will consult with Salman."
