Are you dating Katrina? Yes!

Salman Khan makes a candid confession to Koel Purie on her couch

Salman Khan is an expert at evading personal questions, especially when the topic is Katrina Kaif or Aishwarya Rai. However, on Koel Purie's chat show, the actor was in a care-a-damn mood and admitted on record that he was dating Katrina. Khan touched on every topic from his fight with Shah Rukh, his equation with ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai and his relationship with Katrina Kaif.

A source from the show reveals, "Salman wasn't ready for the interview, but Koel grilled him on his set at Mehboob Studio. She asked him all sorts of questions, some of which were controversial. But Salman answered each and every one of them in monosyllables."

When asked point-blank if he was dating Katrina, Sallu replied with a loud 'Yes!' However, when the topic veered to his ex-girlfriend Ash, he wasn't very comfortable. "Salman was asked if he would ever work with her, and he replied with a No! It was evident he didn't want to revisit that chapter of his life."

Apart from Ash and Kat, Sallu also spoke about his war with SRK. "He said that their lives were going in opposite directions and that they would never be friends again."

Here's a transcript of the chat which airs on Saturday on Headlines Today at 7 pm and Sunday at 1 pm

In this episode, On The Couch launched a new section called Couch Connect, where members of the public can ask the celeb whatever they wish and the celeb responds.

Public: Will we ever see you and SRK in a movie?
Salman: "It's not that we are husband and wife, you know... I'm not married to him. He's an actor, I'm an actor, if there's a film on the level of Karan and Arjun - definitely.
Koel: Recently you were both seen at Aamir's premiere together. Was it awkward ?
Salman: No, not awkward. Maybe for him, not for me.
Koel: SRK says you are two parallel people running at different speeds (that's why the two will never meet). Do you buy into that?
Salman: No. We're two different people, running in two different directions altogether.
Public: When can I expect another film pairing Ash and you, like the hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam?
Salman: I don't think ever
Public: Who do you prefer: Katrina or Ash?
Salman: Definitely Katrina. Ash is married to Abhishek Bachchan, she's very happy and I... definitely Katrina.
Koel: Firstly, are you still with Kat?
Salman: Ya ya... ya ya.
Public: Are you still in love with Ash?
Salman: No, buddy.
Public: Who's the greatest Khan?
Salman: Yusuf Khan.
