Shah Rukh and Salman's big patch up moment reached a crescendo of sorts when the two took to the dance floor and danced their hearts out to the tunes of 'Chaiya Chaiya.' While the actors called up Aamir Khan the same night when they hugged and made-up, they also made it a point to publicly admit to their patch-up. Salman accepted to the fact on Bigg Boss and Shah Rukh too gave his confirmation at a recent event. According to a report on Missmalini.com, the actor was quoted saying that though he and Salman had many moments of happiness in their lives and a few moments of sorrow, he could safely assure that they will always be there for each other to share each other's happiness and despair. Shedding some insight into their relationship Shah Rukh admitted that the two shared the same relationship as they had 25 years ago and that there was no bad blood between them. He attributed their fights to the fact that both of them are hot headed Pathans who can have issues at times. He further stated that Arpita is close to him as well and he had seen her growing up from the little girl she was. He asserted the fact that it was their sister's marriage and they had to be present for it.
While this was the cherry on the already decadent cake, there were many moments that led to this one. Here are the ones that managed to bring the two Khans together.
If there is anyone who can match Salman Khan’s popularity, star power and immense fan following, it is none other than his arch-rival Shah Rukh Khan. Both are considered as industry superpowers who have all the resources to set the cash registers ringing. Their mere presence in a movie is a sure shot way to make it a blockbuster. Hence, they are always in demand for films, endorsements, award functions, TV soaps or social events. They have a huge star presence and hence are also the biggest rivals of B-Town. Though there have been incidents when these two former friends have had their differences, both Salman and Shah Rukh have also come together for many causes.
Arpita's wedding: Salman Khan’s younger sister Arpita Khan’s wedding is in news for the most obvious of reasons. She achieved the impossible by bringing together the two reported rivals of B-Town. Speculations were rife that Salman might invite SRK for his little sister’s wedding and SRK might oblige him by attending it. However, doubts were put to rest when Salman graciously sent an invite to Shah Rukh and SRK said that he does not even need an invite for Arpita's wedding. He had gone on record to say that he had known Arpita since she was a little baby and hence he will definitely go for her wedding. In fact, SRK was seen enjoying every moment of the mehendi ceremony by being warm and getting clicked with Salman and talking with Salman’s father, Salim Khan. In fact, a report in Bollywoodlife.com says that SRK gifted Arpita a huge hamper of designer bags. Since Arpita loves designer bags, SRK got her the latest and best hand bags of the biggest international brands in the market.
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's reunion at the latter's sister Arpita Khan's sangeet ceremony brought smiles on the faces of their fans. Their picture clicked while sharing a warm moment with Arpita had gone viral. However, everyone who got the glimpse of that moment missed the third Khan, Aamir in the frame. When questioned about the patch-up between SRK-Salman, Aamir said, "Yes, I got to know about the patch-up. In fact, they didn't let me sleep the entire night. Around 1:30 am, they first called me and informed about it. Then around 2:30 am, we did a face-time call. So this went on till early morning and they kept me awake." Aamir gave this statement while interacting with the media at the Mumbai airport, before leaving for the wedding, with wife Kiran Rao and son Azad.
We look at incidents that brought the 'rivals' together…
Award ceremonies: After their much publicised hug at an iftaar party in 2013, the warring Khans also hugged during the Star Guild Awards held in January, 2014. While Salman Khan was enthralling the audience as the host, he was gracious enough to hug his reported rival Shah Rukh Khan on the stage. When Shah Rukh went on stage to receive his award for the Entertainer of the Year, Salman stepped forward and hugged SRK, much to the delight of the audience. It was said that Salman even congratulated SRK for the success of his film Chennai Express at the ceremony.
Iftaar parties: It was expected to be a face-off when Salman and Shah Rukh Khan came face to face at an iftaar party thrown by MLA and former minister Baba Siddiqui last year. However, the two warring Khans kept their differences aside and gave each other a warm embrace, much to the shock of the onlookers. It is said while SRK was eating, Salman came and tapped SRK on his shoulder. SRK turned towards him and Salman embraced him. The hug became the most talked-about topic of discussion and got a lot of media coverage. It was considered as a new phase in their relationship. The two Khans continued the tradition and hugged each other again at another iftaar party this year
Movies: Salman and Shah Rukh Khan have done several movies in the past. Be it Rakesh Roshan’s Karan Arjun where Salman and SRK played brothers or Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Salman and SRK have done several movies together. In fact, it is indeed a privilege for any filmmaker to bring these two megastars together for a movie. We so wish to see them together again on screen. K'Jo, are you listening?
TV shows: Not many people remember but Salman and Shah Rukh Khan made an appearance together on Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2007. The game show was then hosted by King Khan and Salman was accompanied by his former girlfriend Katrina Kaif in the show. The episode was historic as it had both the warring Khans sitting in front of each other. Salman and Katrina had come as celebrity guests to win the prize money for a charity.
