Salman Khan refuses to kiss Katrina!

Want to catch some 'action' between the lead couple in Tiger Zinda Hai? You'll be disappointed.

Salman Khan's no-intimacy clause with his heroines remains firmly in place, even if the lady in question is his former girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

 

It so happened that Tiger Zinda Hai, the sequel to Salman's Ek Tha Tiger, had a sequence of intense intimacy between Sallu and Kat.

"Everyone felt Salman would break his no-kissing code just this one time because the sequence is vital to the plot and also because... well, it's Katrina. But no, Salman refused outright. Director Ali Abbas Zafar tried his darndest to convince Salman but nothing worked. The scene has been dropped," says a source in the know.

Over the years, Salman has repudiated onscreen intimacy to the point of being considered a prude.

He not only refuses to indulge in any physical proximity with his leading ladies but he also won't play grey or negative characters.

That's the reason he turned down Abbas-Mustan's Baazigar, where the character has grey shades.
