The scarf has become synonymous with the character of Tiger, played by Salman Khan in films from the Tiger franchise. The iconic character’s entry in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan (2023) also saw the scarf playing an important role. The scarf was shown first and the audience went into a frenzy in cinemas as they knew that it was an indication that their favourite superstar would come on screen in no time. Hence, it was interesting to see that the scarf made its presence felt at the promotional event held to celebrate Tiger 3 at a multiplex in Mumbai on Friday, November 17. Salman Khan was present at the event along with Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi and hundreds of excited fans.
At the event, Salman Khan was asked to present the Tiger-themed scarf to Katrina Kaif. Katrina was amazed at this gesture. She immediately remarked, “For the first time, he’s giving me a present.” Salman dramatically asked “Kya?”. It raised a lot of laughs.
After taking a pause for a few seconds, Salman Khan reminded her of all the films they did together, “Tiger (Ek Tha Tiger; 2012) present nahin tha? Bharat (2019) present nahin tha? Partner (2007) present nahin tha? Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya (2005) present nahin tha? Ek present nahin tha. Woh tha Yuvvraaj (2008)!”
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif dated for a few years and then had a break-up. Yet, both continued working in movies and have a deep friendship. This was evident in their chemistry on-screen and also during events and promotional activities.
Tiger 3, which was released on Diwali Day, on Sunday, November 12, opened at a huge Rs. 44.50 crores. It now remains to be seen how it scores in the second weekend. Besides Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, Tiger 3 also starred Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. It was directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).
