WATCH: Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan hug each other during Anand Pandit’s birthday party

Over the years, Bollywood actors, Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan had a history with each other although nothing problematic. Apparently, Khan’s ex and Bachchan’s wife, Aishwarya Rai is the only person they have in common. In 1998, Rai and Khan dated each other briefly which includes the time when they shot Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Nine years later, Rai married Abhishek in 2007.

Meanwhile, a Paparaazi account has posted a video of the duo hugging each other in the Anand Pandit’s Birthday party. Spotting Amitabh Bachchan, Salman approaches him to greet him with a handshake and a hug. Simultaneously, Abhishek Bachchan greets film producer Sajid Nadiadwala with a hug, later sharing a warm embrace with Salman as well, followed by a brief conversation. Salman and Sonu Nigam are also seen sharing a friendly hug at the end of the video.

Producer Anand Pandit is known for films like Chehre, The Big Bull, Thank God and Total Dhamaal among others. His grand birthday celebrations on Thursday had Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kartik Aaryan, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, Niel Nitin Mukesh and many others from the industry in presence.

Notably, Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan, who have been rarely seen exchanging pleasantries at public gatherings, bumped into each other at the party.

Salman was last seen in this year’s Diwali release, Tiger 3 and is currently a host on Bigg Boss 17. He had worked with Amitabh Bachchan in films like Baghban (2003), in which he played his only caring son. They also featured together in 2006 film Baabul and 2008 film God Tussi Great Ho. Abhishek was seen as a bowling coach in the Saiyami Kher-starrer Ghoomer this year. It was directed by R Balki.
