On Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan flew back on the same flight from London to Mumbai. SRK was in UK for the last couple of days on some work and Salman had gone there to promote his latest film, London Dreams.
While Salman was with his younger brother Sohail, SRK was by himself. When the Khan brothers walked in, Sohail (who, along with wife Seema, is on good terms with SRK and Gauri) went up to Shah Rukh, they chatted for sometime after which he went and joined his brother.
This was the third in the series of the jab-they-met encounters. The first time they were at the same place at the same time post their infamous feud was last year at Amrita Arora's sangeet ceremony. The second was this year at Ramesh Taurani's wedding anniversary bash. Other than that, the two actors have been going to great lengths to avoid bumping into each other. So what happened when they came face-to-face with each other?
Says an eyewitness, "Both Shah Rukh and Salman boarded the flight without the slightest knowledge that both were going to share nine hours of airspace together! Shah Rukh saw Sallu first. He appeared stunned, then he quietly went to his seat and sat down."
Both were seated a few seats away from each other but Salman was talking loudly and making sure that his dushman could overhear everything he was saying. Sallu was apparently in great spirits and kept behaving like a naughty child, reveals the source, "He kept pulling the airhostess's legs and behaving as if he was ready to go and brawl it out with the other Khan."
After some reading, SRK went off to sleep. He didn't wake up for his meal. He woke up only when it was time to land. Throughout the flight, it was obvious Shah Rukh had decided to completely ignore Salman while he was itching for a fight. When Sallu saw SRK wasn't reacting to his verbal salvos, he too went off to sleep."
While deplaning, Sohail and SRK bid goodbye to each other. Salman and Shah Rukh (who had walked ahead) again didn't even look at each other. At the luggage unloading section, the two actors stood at two corners, picked up their respective luggage and strode off in two opposite directions as if they couldn't wait to get away from each other. Though the airline sources confirmed that both Salman and Shah Rukh were on the same flight on Saturday they were tight-lipped about divulging further details on grounds of client confidentiality.
Shah Rukh and Salman remained unavailable for comment.
