Mumbai: City of dreams and changing relationships
Nothing is permanent in Mumbai, known as the ‘City of Dreams’. Here the gap between success and failure is very less, and the relationships of friendship and enmity also keep changing with time. There was a time when there was a controversy in Bollywood which brought two big stars face to face. This incident happened one night in 2008, when a small argument between ‘Pathan’ and ‘Tiger’ created a wall of silence that lasted for five years. However, times changed again and the bitterness between the two ended on the occasion of Eid.
Katrina Kaif’s birthday party controversy
In 2008, an incident occurred at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party which created tension between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. It is said that the situation reached a scuffle, but Katrina and Gauri Khan intervened and brought it under control. Many reasons are said to be the root of this quarrel. Some people link it to Salman’s anger, while others consider it an ego battle between the two stars. At that time, Salman’s reality show *Dus Ka Dum* was becoming a hit, while Shahrukh’s show *Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tej Hain?* was lagging behind in TRP.
Salman’s taunt on Shahrukh
Taking advantage of this situation, Salman started jokingly taunting Shahrukh. This prank gradually turned into a major controversy, resulting in a heated argument between the two at Katrina’s birthday party. After this, both the stars were not seen together in public places and also stopped working with each other. The situation got so bad that they started ignoring each other even at award ceremonies. This divided the entire industry into two groups, which increased tension even among the manufacturers.
End of hostilities: Baba Siddiqui’s Eid party
After five years, Salman and Shahrukh’s rivalry culminated at NCP leader Baba Siddiqui’s Eid party. Baba and Salim Khan played an important role in this reconciliation. At the 2013 Eid party, Baba deliberately made Shahrukh sit near Salim Khan, leading to a long conversation between the two. When Salman came to the party and saw Shahrukh near his father, he extended his hand of friendship, ending their old enmity.
Relationship between Salim Khan and Shahrukh
Salim Khan and Shahrukh have a father-son like relationship. Shahrukh respects Salim Khan a lot as he helped him during his struggling days. After the feud ended, Salman said that their fight was childish and now they have risen above such petty issues. This reconciliation created an atmosphere of happiness among the fans and the industry as Bollywood became united once again.
