Salman-Hrithik patch-up

The details -- where, when and how...

Hrithik Roshan's presence at Sohail Khan's pre-birthday party at Aurus surprised all the industrywallas present. Yes, Salman Khan was there too. No, there were no fireworks.

A little known fact Duggu and the Dabangg actor sorted out their problem, a week after Roshan expressed displeasure at Sallu's remarks against Guzaarish, (see box) as reported by a tabloid.

Says a source close to Hrithik, "He reacted emotionally, then felt bad later. In retrospect, he felt that he should've called Khan personally and told him that he'd been hurt by his statements, in stead of expressing it in print."

A family friend reveals that Roshan Sr and Duggu's other industry friends told him that he'd made a mistake. And Hrithik, fair to a fault, admitted that he had and texted Salman, the very next day.

He told Khan that he'd been hurt by his statements and had reacted spontaneously. The large-hearted Khan messaged him back saying, 'It's ok, bro." It was as simple as that.



A source present at the party says, "Duggu and Salman met each other cordially. Though they didn't exchange anything more than a hello, it was like nothing was wrong between them.

The vibes were comfortable, not hostile. While Duggu was seen socialising with his friends, Salman stuck to his group and his bodyguard Sheru in a corner."

Hrithik confirms, "Salman and I had a talk and now, we are cool. My dad also spoke to Salim uncle. So it's all good. At the end of it all, I am glad about what happened because our bond has become stronger."

Kya hua tha

Salman Khan had stated at a recent charity event that nobody likes to see issue-based films as the masses want to be entertained. He was referring to his own film Phir Milenge with Shilpa Shetty (on the subject of AIDS), which had bombed at the box-office.

His remarks weren't taken in the right vein by Bhansali and Hrithik who assumed it was a dig at their film, Guzaarish. While SLB maintained, "If such an old and trusted friend can be so insensitive then I have nothing more in the entertainment industry."

Hrithik statedu00a0 in an interview, "It's not heroic to laugh or make fun of a filmmaker just because his box office collections are not up there with yours.

Guzaarish is a super success in its own way. And I will be upset if anyone talks like this about Mr Bhansali. In my opinion, a hero never gloats.

When you are super successful, it should, in fact, make you gracious and more loving."
