Salman Congratulates Kat "Shadi Mubarak Ho" On Bigg Boss Finale

Salman Khan didn't attend the secret wedding of the couple


New Delhi: After two months of the royal wedding of the Kamli Star, Katrina Kaif with her husband actor Vicky Kaushal, finally the megastar Salman Khan congratulated Katrina Kaif on national television. 

During the Bigg Boss 15 finale, Rubina Dilaik and Rakhi Sawant danced to Katrina Kaif's popular track Chikni Chameli from the 2012 movie Agneepath. After the performance, the show's host Salman Khan looked into the camera and he said, "Katrina, Shaadi Mubarak ho."

In another segment of the show, former Bigg Boss contestant Shehnaaz Gill teased Salman Khan about Katrina's wedding - the actress married Vicky Kaushal last December in Rajasthan.

During the season finale of Bigg Boss, Shehnaaz Gill and Salman Khan were seen teasing each other and laughing at their jokes. 

Earlier, Sehnaz called herself "Punjab ki Katrina Kaif," said that she is now "Shehnaaz Gill of India." 

Speaking of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's wedding, Shehnaaz said, "Sir aap khush Raho bass. Sorry, main zyada toh nahi bol rahi (You just be happy please. Sorry, did I speak more than necessary)?" She then told Salman, "But single zyaada achhe lagte ho (You are better off being single)." To which, Salman jokingly added, "Haan, jab ho jayunga toh zyada achha lagunga. (I'll look even better when I'm single)." 

Looking into her wedding, Salman Khan didn't attend that, as Salman and Katrina are long-time collaborators and the actress is perceived as being very close to his family, especially his sisters Arpita and Alvira. Turns out, the family weren't even invited to the wedding.

Arpita Khan Sharma, who is also a close friend of Katrina Kaif, clarified several times that the family did not receive invites. "We have not been invited. So, how would we go?" Arpita told ETimes. In an interview with India Today, she said before the wedding, "We haven't got any invite for the wedding."

Despite that, Salman Khan's personal bodyguard Shera's agency reportedly provided extra security at Vicky-Katrina's super-secret wedding. Salman himself was spotted flying out of Mumbai ahead of the wedding - he was headed to Riyadh to lead the Dabangg Reloaded concert.

Salman Khan introduced Katrina Kaif in Bollywood and they were said to be dating for a few years. The duo has co-starred in films such as Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and Partner among others. 

Salman Khan even made guest appearances in several films which featured Katrina. The duo was last seen together in the 2019 film Bharat. They will next co-star in Tiger 3.
