Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's relationship soured after a fight at actress Katrina Kaif's birthday party. However the two actors reportedly 'hugged' out their differences twice at an Eid party hosted by their common acquaintance. The two stars also shared a cordial vibe at an award show last year which was hosted by SRK and Salman was one of the awardees.

However, during his Koffee With Karan debut Salman Khan (who 'coincidentally' also took Shah Rukh's season debut slot) said that the two Khans may never be the best of friends again but they will maintain an affable relationship with each other. In fact, Shah Rukh's wife Gauri has represented her husband at Salman Khan's parties and family events in the past few years.

Further, during the launch of Bigg Boss, Salman Khan had said that he would invite SRK's team of Happy New Year for the promotions - an invitation which was in genuinely accepted by King Khan. He had said that Salman Khan has been "gracious" about the film.
