Shahrukh-Salman avoid each other on a 9 hour flight
Gupshup
oi-Staff
On
Saturday,
Shahrukh
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
Shahrukh,
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
Shahrukh
and
Salman
boarded
the
flight
without
the
slightest
knowledge
that
both
were
going
to
share
nine
hours
of
airspace
together!
Shahrukh
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
Shahrukh
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
Shahrukh
(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
Shahrukh
were
on
the
same
flight
on
Saturday
they
were
tight-lipped
about
divulging
further
details
on
grounds
of
client
confidentiality.
Shahrukh
and
Salman
remained
unavailable
for
comment.
