Throwback to Friendship Day 2013: When Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan reunited at an Iftaar party after 5-year feud

As the world celebrates Friendship Day today, a memorable moment from Bollywood’s past is making headlines once again. In 2013, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, two of the industry’s biggest stars, publicly reconciled after a five-year rift that had captivated the attention of fans and media alike.
The much-anticipated reunion took place at MLA Baba Siddique’s iftaar party, a significant event in the Bollywood calendar. The feud between SRK and Salman had begun years earlier on Katrina Kaif’s birthday, creating a long-standing divide that saw the industry aligning with one star or the other. The tension between the two superstars was so visible that they had previously avoided being in the same space.

During the iftaar party, both Khans were present but seated at different tables. Shah Rukh Khan arrived later in the evening, joining a table occupied by prominent dignitaries, including then Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan. Salman Khan, who was seated with his brother Sohail and father Salim Khan at another table, made his way around the room to greet the guests.

In a dramatic turn of events, Salman approached Shah Rukh Khan’s table after interacting with various guests. The atmosphere grew tense with anticipation as the two stars faced each other. With encouragement from Siddique, SRK and Salman shared an emotional hug, prompting cheers and applause from everyone present. The moment was captured by photographers, symbolizing the end of their long-standing feud.

Meanwhile, their days of bitterness are long gone, and now SRK and Salman Khan share a close bond. Both of them appeared together in the films ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Tiger 3’.
