My relationship with Salman beyond one-upmanship: SRK

August 11, 2013

Salman_beyond_SRKNew Delhi, Aug 11: Shah Rukh Khan has been shying away from commenting on his much publicised hug with Salman Khan but the actor says they have become more mature and their relationship is no longer about one-upmanship.

"It has gone beyond this (one-upmanship). There is no question of bowing or making him bow now. It may have been the case two-three years ago. Whether he should speak first or I should... we have become more mature now," SRK said while replaying to Rajat Sharma during his show 'Aap Ki Adalat' on India TV, to be telecast tomorrow.

The two actors fell out after a fight at Salman's ex-girlfriend, Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008 but they were seen hugging each other at MLA Baba Siddique's Iftaar party this July, sparking speculation that they were friends again.

When Sharma asked whether he would invite Salman to watch his upcoming release "Chennai Express", Shah Rukh said this may happen in future.

"Even I am not watching 'Chennai Express' this Eid as I am celebrating the festival... but actually most certainly, if there is an Eid function at my house or they have a function in their house, then invitations will go from both sides. It will happen someday. We will be more mature, either he will come or I will go to his house. everything would be fine."

Shah Rukh, who worked with Salman in films like "Karan Arjun", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam" and "Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega", said he respected Salman as an actor and star.

"I have great respect for him, not only as a friend and as a family but as a star and as an actor. They helped me when I first came to Bollywood though I am the senior." @Body:

Aamir Khan had once stirred a controversy by saying that his ped dog's name was Shah Rukh. Asked to comment on that, SRK said, "Well, I didn't find the joke about the dog funny, but then I decided to behave like a dog and hit back."

Shah Rukh said he regretted losing his control during the IPL match at Wankhede stadium last year though he believes his behaviour was not wrong as a father.

"Yes, I was very angry. There were some people who were not behaving well with the children whom I had brought to watch the match. One of the men made a cheap remark and I lost my cool. After that incident, I have decided that I will never get angry in public... My wife Gauri and my children told me that I should not have reacted in this manner. I regret my behaviour," the actor said.

The actor also joked about being held up at the US airport twice, saying they have a terrorist who uses 'Shah Rukh Khan' as an alias.

"The American embassy apologised when it happened the first time but when it happened the next time, they told me that there is a terrorist who uses Shah Rukh Khan as an alias.

"So when I am at any US airport, they key in my name in the computer and then they ask me to wait... they are very polite but make you wait for four five hours. They check everything except making you remove your clothes," he added.

New Delhi, April 6: Acknowledging on being scared and talking of not seeing his family for three weeks, actor Salman Khan along with nephew Nirvaan on Sunday shared their lockdown experience in a video message.

The 'Bharat' actor then introduced Nirvaan and asked him "How long has it been since you saw your father?", to which Nirvaan replied, "It must have been three weeks."

"I have not seen my father for three weeks. We are here and he is alone at home," Salman added.

The 'Sultan' actor then asks the boy: "You remember the film dialogue, 'the one who got scared, died.' It does not apply here in this situation. We are scared and bravely we admit that we are scared. Please don't be brave in this situation."

Nirvaan also further requested everybody to stay safe and maintain social-distance.

"I think it's better for everyone to stay home, avoid contact and I think the longer we stay indoors the faster this ends," he added.

The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' star concluded the video by saying: "The one who got afraid saved himself and lives of others around him. Moral of the story, 'We're all scared'."
