<\/p>\n

Katrina Kaif is known for keeping her personal life away from the spotlight, but there are a few people from the film industry who have remained close to her for years.<\/p>\n

One of them is television host and actor Mini Mathur.<\/p>\n

Their friendship has continued for years and has also connected Katrina closely with Mini’s husband, filmmaker Kabir Khan.<\/p>\n

The three share a bond that goes beyond professional relationships.<\/p>\n

How did Katrina and Mini become friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mini Mathur became close to Katrina through her association with Kabir Khan. Kabir and Katrina worked together on films such as New York, Ek Tha Tiger and Phantom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Over the years, their professional association turned into a strong personal bond, with Kabir himself describing Katrina as more than a friend and saying she is like family to him.<\/p>\n

Mini is more than just Kabir Khan’s wife<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although Mini is married to Kabir Khan, her friendship with Katrina has its own identity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

The two are often seen sharing pictures and birthday wishes on social media.<\/p>\n

Katrina has also openly expressed her affection for Mini, showing that their bond is not limited to their husbands’ professional connection.<\/p>\n

Katrina’s birthday wish for Mini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their friendship has often appeared on social media. On Mini’s birthday in 2023, Katrina shared a throwback picture of the two along with their friend Karishma Kohli.<\/p>\n

She wished Mini warmly and described her as a source of joy and sunshine. Mini later shared Katrina’s post and responded with a playful message, showing the comfortable equation they share.<\/p>\n

Their friendship goes back many years<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bond between Katrina and Mini is not a recent one. In 2023, reports highlighted that the two had been friends for around 15 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Mini also shared a birthday post for Katrina in 2023, recalling their long friendship and describing it as easy-going, fun and full of love.<\/p>\n

Their friendship has remained strong despite their busy careers and changing phases of life.<\/p>\n

Mini Mathur and Kabir Khan were among the small group of close friends who attended Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding in Rajasthan in 2021.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Their presence was another indication of how close the couple had become to Katrina. Mini was also seen at events connected with the wedding celebrations.<\/p>\n

Kabir calls Katrina ‘family’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kabir Khan has himself spoken about his relationship with Katrina.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Humans of Bombay, he said that Katrina is much more than a friend and that she is like family.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that his bond with Katrina goes back to the time of New York and has grown through the years spent together, beyond their three films.<\/p>\n

Katrina and Mini also share a travel bond<\/strong><\/p>\n

The friendship is not limited to film events and social media posts. Katrina has shared vacation pictures with Mini and their mutual friend Karishma Kohli.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Katrina used a picture from their Maldives holiday in a birthday post for Mini, once again showing their close friendship away from the cameras.<\/p>\n
