/> Malaika and Arbaaz's little son Arhaan seems to have taken after his Chachu Salman.The 4-year old boy has quite a crush on Katrina Kaif.

Far from sharing cold vibes with her brother-in-law Salman Khan's friend Katrina, Malaika Arora actually has a very close and indelible bonding with the boxoffice's wunder-babe.

"My 4-year old son Arhaan has the most incurable crush on Katrina. Whenever she's around I become completely unimportant to my son. It's a family joke...that Arhaan is smitten by Katrina. Every time Katrina and I speak she wants to know where Arhaan is so she could take him out."

Not just Katrina, Kareena too is a favourite with Arhaan. "When Arbaaz and I visited Kareena's location in Hollywood last month Arhaan became a total lamb. I ceased to exist. Everything was about Kareena only.

And I was shocked when my boy who gives me a hard time feeding him would ask for everything that Kareena ordered at restaurants and eat quietly without taking his eyes off Kareena."

So what are these stories about Malaika's cold war with Katrina?

Sighs Malaika, "There's absolutely nothing to this talk of my cold war with Katrina. I've no space or time for having these kinds of issues with people. I feel life is too precious for these kinds of run-ins.

It was written that I didn't attend Katrina's birthday. But I was shooting for my reality show and I couldn't make it. Is that a crime? Are there laws against skipping a family gathering because I was working?

It was said I didn't go to Katrina's birthday because I couldn't get along with her. Bullshit! And now we're supposed to have shared cold vibes with Katrina and Salman's sister birthday party. Why would I spoil Arpita's party by behaving like such a partypooper? "

Malaika says she's a total family woman. "These are very upsetting rumours because it involves the entire family. I'm such a family person. I'd drop anything for family. Katrina isn't someone I hang around with every day or go out with for coffees and lunches.

But she's part of our family and I completely respect her presence. But no, she isn't part of my close friends' circle. Both of us come from decent families. My parents would slap me if I misbehaved with anyone, least of all Katrina who's part of our family.

Sighing deeply Malaika says, "No one from Arbaaz's side or my own side of the family can accuse me of behaving highhandedly or aloof. I go out of my way for family. My mother would kick my ass if I behaved like a prima donna. Someone is obviously getting a lot of pleasure by spreading these rumours."

Is it someone from the Khan family? "I wouldn't know. But whoever it is, I hope he or she is having a good time."
