Flashback: Shah Rukh Khan shares heartwarming story of Salman’s family’s hospitality in early days; ‘I have not only been pushed but also eaten their home-cooked meal’
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan often demonstrate friendship goals in the Hindi film industry. SRK and Salman are two of the top superstars who continue to dominate the industry. SRK has maintained a close bond with Salman since the early days of his career. Shah Rukh reminisced about his initial days in Mumbai and how Salman’s family took care of him back then. King Khan mentioned that he used to have meals at Salman’s house.
Looking back, during his appearance on Salman Khan’s show, Dus Ka Dum in 2018, Shah Rukh Khan recalled his struggles when he first arrived in Bombay (now Mumbai). SRK mentioned that Salman’s family looked after him well during that time.
King Khan jokingly mentioned that Salman is younger than him by 1.5 months. He said, “But (Salman) and his family took care of me a lot. And not only did I struggle here, but I also ate home-cooked food at his house,” SRK shared.
Both Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances in each other’s movies in 2023. While Salman appeared in SRK’s Pathaan, King Khan had a cameo in Tiger 3 the same year.
In an old interview with DNA, Shah Rukh Khan candidly talked about his relationship with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. SRK mentioned that when the three Khans get together, they have a lot of fun rather than discussing movies.
SRK also mentioned that he has a “certain respect” for both Salman and Aamir that goes beyond their friendships. It’s the same with the other two Khans. Shah Rukh added that Aamir once publicly commented on their relationship that if people saw them together, they wouldn’t be seen as “stars.”
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have previously collaborated on movies like Karan Arjun, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and more. Additionally, Shah Rukh had a cameo appearance in Aamir’s 2022 film, Laal Singh Chaddha.
