Shah Rukh Khan kab se mere peeche hai: Salman Khan at IIFA Awards 2022

This year’s IIFA awards are in full swing at the moment, and the star studded event witnessed its fair share of delightful and memorable moments. One among them saw Salman Khan hilariously pull the leg of another Bollywood big wig, Shah Rukh Khan himself. Salman alleged that for a long time, SRK was behind the former. What gives?

At the awards ceremony Salman, who was sitting in the audience, stood up and revealed that there was one man who was ‘behind’ the former. “Mere peeche ek aadmi hai, aur uska name hai Shah Rukh Khan. Aur yeh kag se mere peeche hai”, Salman said.

But Salman’s ‘serious’ demeanour soon came off as soon as he revealed the hilarious reason for his statement. The actor said that SRK’s house ‘Mannat’ lay behind Salman’s residential building ‘Galaxy’, which is the reason why SRK always seemed to be ‘behind’ Salman. Riteish Deshmukh, Manish Paul and many others burst into laughter hearing Salman’s words.

Salman and Shah Rukh’s friendship is no secret in the industry. In addition to their off screen interactions, the duo have also shared the screen as well, in films such as Karan Arjun (1995) and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002). Salman had also given a shoutout to SRK’s new film Jawaan. The former shared the Atlee directed film’s teaser on his social media handle and captioned it “Mere jawaan bhai ready hai”, tagging SRK.

The duo will also be making cameo appearances in each other’s upcoming films. While SRK will make special appearances in Tiger 3, Salman is expected to do a cameo in Pathaan.
