Would you look at that – after hugging at Baba Siddique‘s iftaar party many months ago, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan recently hugged it out again on the stage of the Star Guild Awards last night. The two ended up on stage together since Salman was hosting the show, and – at one point – Shah Rukh also had to get on there to accept his Entertainer of the Year award, which he received from co-star Deepika Padukone.
In fact, Shah Rukh even commented that it’s special to receive this award when he’s on the same stage as Salman Khan, who is one of the greatest entertainers in the country. Wow!
That’s not all, though. Before the hug even took place, there was already some interaction happening between the two. On stage, Salman congratulated the actor on the success of Chennai Express, and SRK waved in acknowledgment to his statement. The superstar also commented saying that SRK is the one who started “hosting’ in Bollywood, and he actually prefers acting more. A little later, Salman even asked SRK to say ‘Jai Ho’, since he has a film coming out with the same name. Promotion ke liye kuch bhi karega, yes?
Check out this series of photographs to see the hug in action! Hopefully, this will tide you over until the actual ceremony airs.
Salman’s dad, Salim Khan, has said that he doesn’t think the two will ever be good friends ever again. However, we’re inclined to believe otherwise. While they may never be best friends, we think they’re well on their way to being friendly again. At least now there’s no reason for them to ignore each other in public, and they may even sort out their underlying issues – on Koffee With Karan, Salman did say that all Shah Rukh had to do to fix things was come to his house and talk to him.
What do you think – is friendship on the cards for these two?
