Salman: I don’t have a problem with Shah Rukh

For the first time, Salman Khan directly spoke about his famous spat with Shah Rukh Khan at Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash last year. The duo has been warring after an alleged argument concerning their respective shows’ popularity erupted into a brawl.

We asked Salman, who is all set to host Dus Ka Dum’s season 2, whether he would object to Shah Rukh Khan being a special guest on his show. He coolly said, “If Sony brings him then he is more than welcome. Agar woh a gaye toh who khush naseeb hai. If Shah Rukh and Sony both wants to do an episode together then I don’t have a problem with it. It’s not a big deal.” But he also added, “Even if I did (have a problem with Khan), I wouldn’t discuss it publicly.”

Shah Rukh’s show Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai will not have a second season so clearly Salman is having the last laugh now. To this, he says, “I wish for everyone to do well, whether they are doing TV shows or films. If our work does not happen, how will the media and others get work. Kabhi kabhi Aamir ka bhi naam le lo meri maa. He is also collecting lots of money at the box office.”

There was news of a film project that hoped to bring the three powerful Khans (Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman) together. To this, Salman suggest, “They should bring two of us together at a time. Like Shah Rukh-Aamir, me–Aamir, me-Shah Rukh,” while drilling in again, “I do not have a problem working with Shah Rukh. I am not getting married to him! You should ask him too whether he wants to do these projects or not.”

It will be interesting to see whether the channel dares to use SRK as an option for a special guest on DKD. Salman might act the thorough professional now, with his calm exterior, but he’s known for his temper tantrums on the sets.
