Who else in the world would ‘refuse’ to lock lips with tantalizing beauty Katrina Kaif, who is the ‘proud owner’ of the most alluring pair of lips in the entertainment industry? One person has done so and it is none other than Salman Khan, who was once madly in love with the Hong Kong-born 34-year old half-Indian and half-Briton.

Salman Khan and Kaif are coming together for the ninth time on-screen with their upcoming film titled as Tiger Zinda Hai which is set to release nation-wide as a year-end bonanza on 22nd December. The film has been produced by Yash Raj Films’ Aditya Chopra and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The trailer, which released yesterday, indicates that the film is about the protagonist’s fight against terrorist.

For a particular sequence in the film, Zafar reportedly asked Salman to get up close and lock lips with Katrina, who has locked lips with almost all her co-stars including Shah Rukh Khan, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor. However, keeping his ‘no intimacy on-screen’ policy dear to his heart, Salman reportedly told Zafar that he won’t be doing so.

Despite insistence from the film’s crew to do so just once, the Salamn ‘Casanova’ Khan held his own. It may be noted that Salman, who has completed three decade in films, has also not taken up roles with grey shades.
