Ever since that fateful July evening in 2008, when Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan openly fought at her birthday bash, Katrina Kaif was nervous of throwing a birthday party.
Three years have passed since and seems like the actress has finally let go of her demons, and according to sources will host a grand birthday party next month.
Says a friend of the actress, "After what happened at her birthday party three years ago Katrina developed a paranoia about hosting a party.
A very private person by nature, she was outraged and embarrassed by what transpired between the two Bollywood titans on her special day.
She wouldn't step out of her home for any social event for weeks after, so complete was her sense of mortification about the open war between the two Khans at her revelry."
But now finally, the actress has decided to let bygones be bygones and is all set to throw a grand party, where she wants to invite all the people who make a difference to her life in one way or another.
Says a source close to Katrina, "She wants to leave the nightmare of that birthday party behind and just enjoy the company of all her colleagues. It won't be a fake party. She won't invite anyone just for formality's sake."
Also, this year her birthday coincides with the release of her next film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Says a friend of Katrina, "She wants to celebrate, because that's what Dobara is about.
She had loads of fun with Farhan and Zoya during the shooting in Spain.
They made her lose her inhibitions. The shooting of ZNMD also exorcised Katrina of the demons of the 2008 birthday bash. So yes, Katrina will party."
