Bollywood Stars Bond at Anand Pandit’s Birthday Bash Salman Khan & Abhishek Bachchan Surprise Fans with Warm Hug
Bollywood Stars Bond at Anand Pandit’s Birthday Bash Salman Khan & Abhishek Bachchan Surprise Fans with Warm Hug The who’s who of Bollywood descended upon Mumbai recently to celebrate filmmaker Anand Pandit’s 60th birthday, and the star-studded bash is still making waves on social media. Among the many heartwarming moments captured during the night, one clip in particular has grabbed everyone’s attention: Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan warmly greeting each other with a hug.
For fans of the two actors, this display of camaraderie came as a pleasant surprise. While both Salman and Abhishek belong to influential families in Indian cinema and have crossed paths at several industry events, they’re rarely seen interacting publicly.
The now-viral video, shared by a paparazzo account, shows Salman arriving on stage to greet the birthday boy alongside producer Sajid Nadiadwala. He then proceeds to exchange warm hugs with his “Baghban” and “Babul” co-star Amitabh Bachchan and, to everyone’s delight, Abhishek Bachchan as well. Singer Sonu Nigam also receives a friendly embrace from Salman.
The clip has sent netizens into a frenzy, with many expressing their surprise and joy at seeing Salman and Abhishek’s unexpected display of affection. This friendly exchange holds some historical significance, considering the media buzz surrounding their equation due to Abhishek’s past relationship with Salman’s former girlfriend, Aishwarya Rai (who later married Abhishek’s father, Amitabh Bachchan).
On the professional front, both actors have recently enjoyed critical and commercial success. Salman Khan’s action film “Tiger 3” was a box office hit, while Abhishek Bachchan received praise for his role in the sports drama “Ghoomer.”
Anand Pandit’s birthday bash served as a heartwarming reminder of the close-knit nature of the Bollywood fraternity, and Salman and Abhishek’s public display of friendship was the icing on the cake. It seems like time has healed any past tensions, and fans are excited to see more of this newfound camaraderie in the future.
