He is Bollywood’s ultimate heartthrob and reports of a break-up with actress Katrina Kaif have only added to Salman Khan’s appeal. The actor who was in town to promote his film ‘Dabangg’ was approached by a female fan to grant her the “lifelong wish” to touch him just once.

The 44-year-old actor caused a traffic jam in Connaught Place when he made an appearance at a theatre to promote his upcoming film accompanied by co-star Sonakshi Sinha and producer and brother Arbaaz Khan.

Some die-hard fans managed to get past the security into the press conference and Komal Sinha was among them.

Accompanied by her husband, she took to the mic during the press conference and requested the star for a chance to touch him.

The actor who was sporting his trademark tight T-shirt and jeans look, granted her wish but it lead to many others trying to get their hands on their idol and the actor’s security had to push them away.

“I am happy because he was really nice to me. He asked me my name and waved to my husband in the crowd. And he looks so much better in real life,” said Komal.

The actor who plays a corrupt cop, Chulbul Pandey in the film had to face a volley a questions about his relationship with Kaif.

The actor instead blamed the media for invading his privacy and creating a spectacle out of a personal matter.

“I was prodded again and again in the interview about Katrina. I finally asked her (the reporter), ‘What do you want me to say? Do you want me to say that I have broken up with her. So be it’ You need to see the entire interview before asking me questions,” said Salman.

Meanwhile Kaif has gone public with the split and had announced at a recent event that she is single.
