Shah Rukh does not miss me: Salman Khan
Bollywood’s bad boy Salman Khan doesn’t seem to let go of old grudges tooeasily.
When he has a fallout with someone, he says, “I just don't hang out with them anymore.” And, does he miss old buddy Shah Rukh Khan? The stars says in a television interview, “No, not really. We weren't that close anyway. We used to hang out together once in a while. We did quite a few films and had a laugh. We had a problem earlier as well, and one night it just happened. People have fights; it's just the next morning it was taken to a different level. If everything were sorted out that night itself, perhaps, things would have been fine. But I guess there was a different agenda to that.”
Is there a possibility of a reconciliation between the warring Khans? “No, I mean he's doing fine. He doesn't miss me, it's not like he is crying over me. He's doing good work and he is good to the people he works for. He is at one end of Bandstand and I'm at the beginning of Bandstand.”
On friendships, the 44-year-old actor says, “When one is growing up it's different. But today you come to a stage where there are no friends. Most people who you meet are just acquaintances and who you get along with. Everyone should realise that your childhood friends and your family are all you need.”
On King Khan being detained at a US airport for over two hours, he says, “I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Forget immigration in America or anywhere in the world. You can't enter any five star hotels till the time you and your car are checked. So when you don't mind the security check while entering a hotel here, why do you have to mind it there?
I'm Shah Rukh must be feeling the same. At that point of time a person's ego gets hurt. It must have been blown out of proportion and there must be a promotion angle also.”
