The long time love couple, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif is planning to tie the knot soon. Their marriage speculation has been doing the rounds in the film industry for quite sometime but now it is almost confirmed by a close friend of Salman that they are getting ready to embark into a new life.

Salman never discloses his personal life to the media but this time he had ardently expressed his desire to get married to his long time girlfriend Katrina Kaif. Though the duo has not made any official announcement of their marriage but it is almost decided. It is heard that their marriage is going to be a low profile and will be solemnized in the presence of close relatives and friends.

Though deeply in love, Katrina and Salman never make any public display of their emotions and always keep their love life away from the media’s eyes. Like other Bollywood couples, their relationship also passed through rough weather but they preferred to keep their problems under wrap and did not allow them to come into public notice.

Filmmaker Shomu Mukherji, father of actors Kajol and Tanisha, died on Thursday following a massive cardiac arrest, family sources said. He was 65. Mukherjee is survived by actor-wife Tanuja and his daughters.

Sources said Mukherji was unwell for quite some time and had to be hospitalised as well. He breathed his last at 0820 hours IST at his Mumbai residence. Mukherji’s death on the eve of the release of U, Me Aur Hum, the directorial debut of his son-in-law Ajay Devgan, cast a pall of gloom in the family.

However, family sources said the film would be released as per schedule. Devgan had not organised a premiere for the film on Thursday. Shomu, the youngest son of late Sashidhar Mukherji and founder of the Filmalaya studios, was a producer-director of films like Ek Baar Muskura Do (1972), Nanha Shikhari (1973), Chaila Babu (1977), Fifty Fifty (1981), Pathar Ke Insan (1990) and Sangdil Sanam (1994).

His other siblings Joy and Deb Mukherji were actors.For the past couple of months Kajol had been keeping a strict watch on his food and medication. According to reports, Kajol even stayed away from her family to spend time with her father in the hospital.
