The rivalry between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan is legendary. At first they were friends, or at least on cordial terms when they did Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai together. SRK even made a cameo appearance in Salman’s Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.
However their friendship had hit a roadblack, when Salman, then in a relationship with Aishwarya Rai, had barged into the sets of Chalte Chalte and had a fracas with SRK, who was the leading actor as well as the producer of the movie. Not the one to let go, Shah Rukh Khan replaced Aishwarya with Rani Mukherji, and then maintained a stony stalemate. Salman later extended the olive branch, and both buried the hatchet…only for a couple of years.
Seven years ago, they fought again at Katrina’s birthday party, that led to the biggest rift in the industry, with people either supporting Bhai or King Khan. Though they never spoke anything hurtful against each other in public, both did their best to ignore each other as best as they could.
It was at Baba Siddiqui’s Iftaar party last year that they were brought into a hug by the host himself, thought they still maintained they were far from friends. However, the ice was beginning to thaw.
