Rumours of a rift between Katrina Kaif and Rohit Shetty have been doing the rounds but it seems like the actress has put them to rest as she took to Instagram on Saturday and wished Rohit a happy birthday.

Katrina wrote, "@itsrohitshetty happiest birthday ever. Wishing you the best year and reaching even greater heights...all the love to you," with a picture Rohit walking next to a helicopter. Rohit has directed Katrina in the upcoming film Sooryavanshi. 

For the uninformed, Rohit’s recent comment about Katrina sparked a storm on social media. Reports stated that Rohit told Katrina in an interview that no one would pay attention to her in an action scene from the film in which she is accompanied by actors Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn.

Katrina later defended her director on Instagram claiming that he had been misunderstood. Taking to Instagram, Katrina wrote, "Dear Friends and Well-wishers... I normally do not comment on media reports or articles... But in this case, I feel a comment made by Rohit Sir has been taken out of context and is been entirely misunderstood. I am referring to the comment as reported that Rohit Shetty said, ‘No one would look at me in the frame, as there are three boys there and a blast happening”’, this is not what was said. I mentioned that I had blinked in the shot, and Rohit sir said, ‘there are four people together in the frame and a bomb blast happening, no one will notice you BLINKING.’ Even, despite that, we still did one more take. I share a very warm equation and friendship with Rohit sir and have always enjoyed our discussions on everything from cinema to my character and, more importantly, he has always been there as a friend for me. This has been taken entirely taken out of context. I hope you all have a great day."

However, later it was noticed by her fans that Rohit had unfollowed Katrina on Instagram. But Katrina was still following the director. Rohit has not reacted to the controversy yet.
