If you thought that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s relationship was down the drain, then here’s a piece of news that will prove you wrong. The former couple, which is all set to scorch the silver screen this 15 August with ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is still very much together. Not as a couple though but as thick friends who would stand by each other in times of need.

Reports suggest that Katrina has chalked out her schedule in such a way that she gets substantial time to spend with Salman when he undergoes a critical surgery to treat his rare nerve disorder. Salman, who is now busy with ‘Dabangg 2’ is reluctant for the surgery but it would be mandatory for him if he wants to continue working without future health hassles.

Talking to a leading daily, a source said, “We are all worried for him and are forcing him to get the operation done as soon as possible.” And now that Katrina will be by Salman’s side, hope he agrees to undergo the surgery at the earliest.
