Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS) When the first screening of Salman Khan starrer “Dabangg” took place for its cast and crew, Katrina Kaif was shooting right in front of the theatre and was invited in. But she couldn’t go.

This comes amid much speculation over Salman and Katrina’s relationship.

As Salman’s brothers and the rest of the family walked into the theatre in Film City Saturday night, they were in the mood to invite Katrina and the rest of the crew too of “Tees Maar Khan” to watch “Dabangg”. Apparently Salman wanted the team to join them.

“Sure enough, Salman’s sister Alvira walked out from the theatre to where Katrina, Farah Khan and the gang were shooting. Alvira personally invited Farah’s team to watch ‘Dabangg’ with them. Unfortunately, it was not possible as Farah’s shooting went on till late,” a source said.

Katrina and Alvira bonded like really close buddies, the source said.

Confirming the incident, actor Sonu Sood says, “It’s true Farah Khan and her crew were shooting nearby. But they couldn’t join us.”

Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha and his wife were also conspicuous by their absence at the screening as “Dabangg” is their daughter SOnakshi’s debut film.
