SRK and Salman share a close bond that has experienced its share of ups and downs over the years. Their friendship began in the 1990s, during the early stages of their careers in the Indian film industry. However, their relationship soured in 2008 after they went to Katrina Kaif’s birthday celebration in Mumbai.
