And the actors showed no qualms in agreeing to news items suggesting their breakup. Despite this, the duo continued to share a amiable relationship, which also translated to their onscreen chemistry in Kabir Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger'. 

The key factor which worked for Yash Chopra's last directorial venture 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' was the sizzling chemistry between SRK and Katrina. Going by what Katrina had said, working with Shah Rukh Khan helped her learn a lot. Many thought the actress looked ethereally stunning in the film.
