salman to gift BMW to kareena kapoor for being a part of Dabangg 2.

salman khan ,kareena kapoor in main aur mrs khannaSalman Khan is known for splurging on expensive gifts for his friends and Kareena Kapoor is the latest one to get lucky. The actor will be gifting his Bodyguard co-star a BMW in return for her item number in Dabangg 2.

Kareena apparently didn’t charge a penny for the special appearance and

hence, was rewarded for her generosity. And how!

UTV Motion Pictures’ senior manager Prithwish Ganguly tweeted: “@BeingSalmanKhan to gift Kareena Kapoor a BMW for being a part of Dabangg 2.”

Kareena apparently wants her number to be different and wants it promoted as an important part of the film and not just like another item number.

The Chammak Challo star has openly admitted that Salman is her favourite Khan and seems like the admiration is mutual. The two have starred together in Kyon Ki (2005), Main Aurr Mrs Khanna (2009) and Bodyguard (2011).
