Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan were present at the press conference of IIFA 2017, an award function that felicitates Indian cinema on a global platform. The actors had an interactive session with the media persons in which they spoke about their IIFA performances this year, among other things.

Alia Bhatt, who has already worked with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Dear Zindagi’ was questioned about working with Salman Khan, to which she said, “I don’t know but I hope it happens soon. You should request Salman to make it happen,” Indian media reported.

Within no seconds a possessive Katrina jumped in to say, “Please leave Alia for Varun Dhawan and Salman Khan for me.”

Salman Khan will romance Katrina Kaif yet again in his upcoming movie ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, a sequel to their 2012 hit film ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. The film releases this December.
