Sallu gets snubbed!!
Salman Khan believes in the never forgive and forget philosophy. At the Rockstars concert some years ago, he and John Abraham had a much talked about tiff. Things are yet to become normal for them both. Sources claim that both Salman and John somehow got invited to a food award event earlier this week. Neither knew of the other’s invitation. The organisers knew of the tiff between the two and decided to snub out John in favour of Salman. But, the public did the opposite. They snubbed Salman and cheered for John.
The source adds, “Salman was asked to attend the event by Subhash Ghai, the director of ‘Yuvvraaj’. Salman was to hand out trophies to the contestants along with other film personalities like Ajay Devgan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor. Salman was the first person to reach the venue, followed by Ajay, Kajol and Kareena. They were all seated on a big table with Ghai.”
“John doesn’t like public scenes and he kept to himself. He didn’t even look in the direction of Sallu’s table, where all the actors were chatting and laughing. Then the announcer called Sallu, Ajay, Kajol and Kareena on stage to inaugurate the event. John was never meant to go on the stage. He was attending the event as a guest, but the members of the audience who spotted him, started to holler his name and the organizers had no other option but to call him on stage too. Once on stage, John and Salman looked through each other. After giving awards, John stayed back at the event while Salman made a quick exit.”
A spokesperson from Salman Khan’s camp has said that John and Salman were sitting very far from each other and as Salman was there only for a few minutes he couldn’t have found the time to exchange pleasantries with many present at the event.
John has apparently tried to play down the whole thing by saying, “The event organisers didn’t give me the cold shoulder. I was specifically called by them to hand an award and I was even given a particular time to be there, which was way after the show had already started. I think if you keep doing good work it has to pay off, right? I am very glad the audiences at the show were really nice to me and cheered me. It makes me really happy to know that people really appreciate good things.”
Well, we think if he’s managed to overshadow the very popular bad boy, it’s nothing short of an achievement!
