Katrina Kaif thinks her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor's career will bounce back as former lover Salman Khan's did.

The 32-year-old actress and Salman, 49, were the hottest couple in Bollywood after they met on the set of 'Ek Tha Tiger' in 2012 - in which Salman starred opposite Katrina as Indian Spy - before the beauty dropped the 'Kick' actor for Ranbir and she has now compared his floundering career to her exes, putting it down to the fact that it "happens" in the industry. She said: "I know Ranbir loves his audience and he lives and breathes his films, no one can challenge his passion and commitment. It has happened to everyone's career, it has happened to Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, very much so in Salman's case." Salman - who was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving in May - rose to prominence in the late '80s in the box office hit 'Maine Pyar Kiya' and has since had a successful career spanning three decades.The beauty wouldn't divulge how her Ranbir feels about the string of flops that he has released, including 'Besharam', 'Roy' and 'Bombay Velvet', but did say he is passionate about his audience.
