Making a painting of your loved one becomes all the more passionate if she also happens to be your muse.

Bollywood’s multi-talented star Salman Khan , who’s made many a painting on communal harmony, recently put his paintbrush to canvas to etch out a very personal painting. No prizes for guessing, the painting happens to be a portrait of Katrina Kaif .

Reportedly, before Salman left for Paris and London to shoot his film London Dreams , he had a small party with Katrina and gifted her the painting.

Katrina has never been gifted something like this and this loving gesture of her man left her speechless. Sources revealed that Katrina was stunned to see such a beautiful painting.

Of late, there have been rumours that Katrina is unhappy with one particular painting in Salman’s collection - a portrait of Aishwarya Rai that he refuses to part with. May be painting a portrait of Katrina is Sallu’s way of placating her and showing his affection.

Salman has inherited his passion for painting from his painter mother, Salma. The actor showcased his paintings in an exhibition last year and wants to do it again to raise funds for his Salman Khan Foundation.

Right now, Salman is shooting in London and Katrina is shooting in New York. The couple would next be seen together in Subhash Ghai’s movie Yuvvraaj .
