Inside Salman Khan's 'estranged' bond with Shah Rukh Khan

Salman Khan offered an inside scoop on his dynamic with Shah Rukh Khan in a previous encounter after he was deeply hurt by his ‘fallout.’

During an exclusive interview on Aap Ki Adalat, resurfaced in a recent video, the Dabangg actor, who worked with him in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, expressed his love and respect for Shah Rukh despite their public fallout at Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash in 2008.

Revealing his deep-rooted affection for the King actor, Salman said, “I have always loved Shah Rukh like a younger brother. Somewhere I am hurt.”

Meanwhile, the 58-year-old actor was further inquired about Salman years later, during his regal appearance on Koffee With Karan.

The Pathaan actor didn’t hesitate to acknowledge his struggles with maintaining friendships.

Taking full responsibility for his actions, he appreciated the love people have for him despite strains in his relationships with Salman, Farah, and even Karan Johar.

However, their friendship rekindled in 2013 after Srk mended his strained bond with the Kick actor at Baba Siddiqui’s exclusive Iftar party.

On professional front, Salman is gearing up for his upcoming film Sikandar alongside Animal star Rashmika Mandanna. On the other hand, Shah Rukh is currently occupied with Sujoy Ghosh’s new starrer King, which is slated to release in 2025.
