Mumbai: Salman Khan has a history of being linked to his co-stars. So even though it is public knowledge that Katrina Kaif and Salman are no longer as close as they used to be, media reports linked them together. Some consequent news reports even claimed that Iulia Vantur was unhappy with this.
However, when we met Iulia recently, she expressed no such emotion. In fact, she was more than appreciative of Katrina’s performance in the film. “Why will I feel unhappy or insecure? In fact, Tiger Zinda Hai is an amazing movie — Katrina’s performance is outstanding!” she says. “The media will write anything, I cannot do anything about it. I have nothing to react on it.”
Iulia is not just close to the actor but also to his entire family. And she finds this nothing short of a blessing! “I am indeed blessed to have been friends with Salman’s family. I share a beautiful and wonderful relationship with his entire family. They are a loving, sharing and caring family,” she says.
As Iulia gushes about the whole family, she has a special place in her heart for Salman’s mother, Salma Khan. She says, “Whenever I am with the family, she makes sure that I am always comfortable. She is a beautiful person, who even at this point of her life, works non-stop for the wellbeing of her family and close ones — it is astounding to see her go out of the way to make me feel special and comfortable. She is the best woman I’ve ever met and I feel privileged to know to her. Her love and the care she shows towards me make those moments special for me.”
