First up Ash did not have any affair with Srk or was not in love with him or liked him in that manner, please dont bring all these kinds of stuff here.
I really dont think Katrina is using Salman in any way. I mean she fell in love with him when he was going through one of the worst phases of his life personally and professionally. Believe me when I say that he will always be thankful to her for that.
About getting her into films, he motivated her in the right direction, everything after that is her own hard work, luck or whatever. He has helped a lot of people but not all of them have made it as big as Katrina, so no his help is not enough for making it big. There has to be something in you for you to make it big and Katrina did or does have that.
Plus I think Katrina has said in an interview that when they started dating she was all about being open but Salman was not in favour of it. So she never talked about it openly, now 6 years down the line she feels that the equation hasn't changed in any way to warrant an open stance( meaning he hadn't proposed marraige to her). She has said this in an interview last year.
And in many of her interviews if you have followed closely she repeats a lot of stuff which Salman does say which has always given me the impression that he somehow tutors her or something or gives her advice about what to say and what not to say.
About Sangeeta, Salman and she are still friends so I do not think he had a bitter break up there or anything. The only bitter breakup he had was with Ash. There is no pattern or anything regarding his break ups. Except Ash, I do believe that he was the one who grew emotionally apart from Sangeeta and Somy, not the other way around.
Katrina's line "I am single till I am married " is nothing new and does not confirm or deny or hint at any sort of breakup. And Salman in his Headlines Today interview did not say he has broken up if people have cared to watch the entire interview without it being edited.
From his interviews and recent public appearances he seems in a very happy mood, so I dont think he feels used like a doormat as some of you have mentioned above and from what we know of Salman, he cannot fake being happy. He is very frank and cannot hide his feelings very well.
He certainly must be reading or hearing what she had to say in her interviews over the years and I dont think he has a problem with the stance she had/has maintained about the relationship. If that were the case they would have broken up a long time ago over this very issue.
About he should marry non filmy background traditional Indian girl and all such talks, its not a necessary formula for a successful marraige or relationship or it will not automatically guarantee some kind of happiness for him. 😆
