| Katrina meets Salman in jail against all odds | | |
New Delhi: August 26, 2007
Salman Khan is in jail but at least he has some reason to cheer. The actor's close friend and actress Katrina Kaif flew to Jodhpur to visit him in jail.
Along with Katrina, Salman’s brother and actor Arbaaz Khan, sisters Alvera and Aprita, and sister-in-law and actress Malaika Arora Khan also visited the actor who is lodged at the Jodhpur Central Jail.
Though the jail's visiting hours for the day had ended, the superintendent allowed Katrina and the others to meet Salman for about half an hour at around 1500 hours IST.
According to the rulebook relatives can meet prisoners only between 0900 hours IST and 1100 hours IST on Sundays.
Katrina and Arbaaz refused to speak to reporters who were waiting with hundreds of Salman's fans at the airport in Jodhpur and headed straight for their hotel.
According to jail authorities Salman had a sleepless night on Saturday. He read a novel to pass the time but avoided any interaction with other prisoners, sources said.
After a breakfast of chana and tea, Salman was examined on Sunday morning by a medical team that found him fit.
Known as Prisoner No. 343 and held in barrack number one, the actor was taken into custody and sent to jail on Saturday following dismissal of his appeal by the District and Session Judge Kamalraj Singhvi against a five-year jail term slapped upon him by the trial court in the Chinkara hunting case.
The actor may have to spend more nights in jail because his bail hearing may take place only on Wednesday, as it's a court holiday on Tuesday.
As per the jail manual regulations, relatives and friends of a prisoner can meet him once in a fortnight.
