Shah Rukh Khan mocks Salman Khan, performs on Dabangg

Shah Rukh Khan perfroms at the International Indian Film Academy
While the post award party and Kat's recent birthday celebration shed light on the hidden affair of the titans of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, IIFA 2011 may have some reasons for the clash at the bash! 

Recently held at Toronto, IIFA 2011 Awards have revealed the greatest love affairs and definitely a lesson that 'a friend in need is a friend indeed', and seems like SRK's finale act was just enough to give a perfect icing to the glamorous cake! Seems like in a performance on Dabbang, King Khan expressed his thought on Salman's step in the title song and commented on it saying that it seems like later's pants were quite loose, resulting in one of the funniest step. Almost hitting a score with a mockery on Salman, SRK managed to conquer the battle with a diplomatic statement on how Arbaaz-Mallaika make for the most adorable couple in the industry. 

Seems like King Khan is using his wit to impress some old friends of the industry, the question remains unanswered as Salman remains unapproachable.
