Katrina seeks apology from Saamna

New Delhi, Jan 23: Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna which carried a report that actress Katrina Kaif is married to Salman Khan has triggered a controversy. Katrina who is offended by the report has asked a formal apology from the Saamna. The actress said, Salman Khan has been misquoted.

"Salim sahab has already said that he has been misquoted or perhaps the reporter who was taking the interview misunderstood. Let's give the reporter a benefit of doubt that it was a mistake," she told a TV channel on Friday, Jan 23.

"I definitely think that Saamna should issue a clarification if not an apology because it's not a small thing. It's not the news of a movie or some endorsement that one has signed. It's a big think to make a mistake about somebody's life like this. And I think a clarification is a must because I know for a fact that Salim sahab has definitely not said anything and one should be careful while reporting for such a major newspaper and while writing articles," she added.

A corrigendum has been assured by Saamna editors. "People who read Saamna are regulars so when they open the paper tomorrow, there should be a clarification in the paper. They should say that they were misinformed or the misprinted and that's it. I think the matter should be ended then and there," she said.
