Salman Khan is truly a rock star!! Whenever I watch him talking to media, the sight really amuses me, He comes up with the weirdest of answers, but then there are very rare people who speak from the heart on national television! Anyways, let’s start his relationship with Badshah Shahrukh Khan.

Salman Khan versus Shahrukh Khan

There was a time when for Salman Khan, love was in the air, and with love came the possessiveness, (typical Bollywood masala, isn’t it?). He gate-crashed on the sets of Chalte Chalte, to check on his girl Aishwariya Rai.

But, in that fiasco, he lost a friend in Shahrukh Khan. Yes, this was just the beginning, because after this incident they stopped speaking to each other. Ash was out of the film and later her relationship with Salman also broke up!

So Shahrukh Khan and Salman were standing like two pillars, not ready to talk, the Karan-Arjun of Bollywood was separated. Until at last, at choreographer-turned-director Farah Khans wedding they wept, kissed and made up for the four year long fight!

But but but, the nasty comments still havent stopped. When Hanuman and Don were releasing on the same day, and SRK was asked about the clash of Khans, he answered that he knows only two Khans, one changes and other Shahrukh Khan ! Who was he trying to ignore, I wonder?

On the other hand when asked about Don overpowering Jaaneman, Sallu replied that Shahrukh has the abilities to promote his films well. So, the cold war for these titans is on, and will go on. For some, King Khan is the real Khan, while for some Salman rules! It’s upto you to decide.

Salman Khan versus Akshay Kumar

You call it Jodi No 1,coz it churns out good money at the box office. But, real life says something else. Their chemistry may be rocking at the box office, and leaving people on the edge of their seat, but the truth is that, in real life, there is some kind of friction between both of them. They are friends, but like any other two people in the industry.

Moreover, during the shooting of Jaan-e-mann, a fiasco is supposed to have happened, with Salman Khan and Mrs. Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, supposedly getting cozy in a discotheque (I wonder how much of this is true) and Akshay Kumar landing at Salmans place for clarification. But, the actors are so professional that they don’t let those emotions show in any of their performances.

Salman Khan versus Aamir Khan

Have we ever heard of anything friction between these two? Actually no. Undoubtedly “Andaz Apna Apna” is still a hit, Salman and Aamirs chemistry was rocking, and believe me, many people are still waiting to see this pair together again. But I wonder now, will they be friends, or will the competition of being The Biggest Khan become bigger than the film?

Salman Khan versus John Abraham

This is the most interesting chapter. After a fiasco at the Rock Star World Tour, which they did together, they were quoted as openly passing snide comments about each other. But, to my surprise, Salman commented on Johns lean look, and John replied. Well, they are now trying to connect to each other through media, but the truth is both the Babul stars, simply cant see eye to eye.

Lots more to say, lots more to tell… keep reading this space!

Today while reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s book, The Namesake, I was really impressed by her take on pet names. She writes, “Pet names are a persistent remnant of childhood, a reminder that life is not always so serious, so formal, so complicated. They are a reminder, too, that one is not all things to all people”

So I thought why not reveal to my readers what I know about the pet names of celebrities today. Lets start with one of our favorites, Salman Khan, whom the world calls Sallu,

But oh, the irony of it all. His ex€œgirlfriend Aishwarya Rai’s pet name is Gullu! Well, this Sallu€œGullu affair is now over so lets not actually talk about it!

I loved Hrithik Roshans pet name, which is Duggu, coz his daddy is called Guddu. Wow, what a lovely combination!

Anyways, lets talk now about our Bong Bombshell Bipasha Basu, whose parents love calling her Bonny. Isnt that chweet??

And how can we forget our sweet Kapoor sisters. Kareena is called Bebo and Karishma is called Lolo. When you talk about Kareena Kapoor, boyfriend Shahid has to follow. His family and friends call him Sasha, and his sweet lil bro calls him Sash bhai.

Aamir Khan is truly one of his kind, so his pet name is anything but common. His friends call him AK. Shahrukh Khan doesn’t have a specific pet name but Juhi Chawla loves calling him Lucky Ali, because she believes hes a fluke! Ahhmmmm!

Did you know that Madhuri Dixit’s pet name is Bubbly? I thought this name suited our bubbly Preity Zinta better, but anyways.

Amisha’s pet name is Sunshine, because her parents and friends felt that she was like Sunshine for them. Poor things didn’t know that this sunshine would set the sun of their life (don’t take that seriously, folks. Im just kidding).

That Govinda is called Chi Chi everyone knows, but did you know that he hates this name? The Deol bros are known by their pet names, Sunny and Bobby, but theyre otherwise known as Ajay Singh Deol and Bobby Singh Deol.

Not many know that that Bobby’s best friend, Akshay Kumars real name is Rajeev Bhatia, and he was called Raju among his friends. He adopted Akshay, aka Akki, as his screen name.

While everyone calls Sunil Shetty, Anna, Sanjay Dutt’s name is Sanju. Abhishek Bachchans pet name has to be Abhi, as Dad Amitabh is called Amit.

But the funniest and most interesting name has to be Aftab Shivdasani’s. Hes called Faff. Maybe he used to faff a lot as kid!! Jokes apart, these were just a few of your fave Bolywood stars pet names, and we will keep you posted on others too!
