Salman prefers fist bumps

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif met Turkey’s minister of culture and tourism, Mehmet Nuri Ersoy in Istanbul. The actors, who are shooting for Tiger 3, were extended a special invitation by Ersoy. “Turkey will continue to host many international cinema projects,” wrote the minister while sharing pictures of his meeting with the stars. Khan insisted on following the pandemic era protocols. He wore a mask and preferred to do a fist bump instead of shaking hands with Ersoy. It appears that Kat was amused by Sallu’s antics, but the superstar is keen to follow guidelines and set an example for fans. He is proving to be a big draw in Turkey. Fans have been waiting for hours on the streets to get a glimpse of him at the shooting locales.
