Definitely, his equation with SRK got strained after My Name Is Khan (Karan messed with the second Wilhelmina part (most probably because of lack of research...and SRK has a knack for research work). SRK wasn't also very happy about some things in KANK realtive to Dev's character portray...but, well, Karan was his friend.
I guess, they still are friends, albeit on another level. SRK clearly declined a role in SOTY albeit co-producing it (so still supporting Karan).
I think, SRK will always be emotional about Karan as Karan's dying father asked him to watch over him...but this 'watching' certainly has limits.
It's been a while since I've seen My Name is Khan so what was the issue here and who is Wilhelmina?
I didn't realize SRK had issues with his role of Dev in KANK either. His Dev is actually one of my favorites of his characters. Did he dislike the fact that Dev and Maya consummated their relationship? I know Aditya Chopra also told Kjo this was going to far and Indian audiences would not accept this (as he likely knew from his father's experience with Silsila which was Yash Chopra's favorite movie but also rejected completely by Indian audiences when it first came out).
I'm glad SRK said no to a SOTY cameo. That movie was not worth his while for a cameo. Frankly, if he had said no to ADHM as well, that would have been fine because when he appears in that scene, suddenly you realize everything else in the movie has been complete fluff and all audiences wanted to see was this one scene with him and Aishwarya.
Karan's issues aside, I do appreciate how he and Gauri stood firm against Priyanka's fake claims and booted her out of Bollywood for trying to malign SRK's character.
