Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s decade-old friendship has its own shares of ups and downs. In 2008, at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party on July 18, a spat broke out between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. The fight made big headlines and visuals of the superstars leaving the party with grim expressions were plastered on entertainment journals. As per a report by Masala, “the very public fight” between the superstars “almost came to blows”. Following the fight, the two remained tight-lipped about one another but reports of them taking subtle digs at each other often made headlines.
The issue between the two remained unsolved for over five years until Baba Siddique played the catalyst and made the two superstars hug and make up at his Iftar party in 2013. Following this, the two actors appeared on each other’s shows and hyped up one another’s upcoming releases.
In 2016, during an awards function, the actors were seen hugging each other and seemingly getting emotional when they were shown the rushes of Karan Arjun on the big screen. They danced to the song on stage and even wiped each other’s sweat off their faces.
