Salman, SRK avoid each other at Imran's bash

There were little spots of tension on the evening of Imran Khan and Avantika Malik's wedding reception hosted by Maamujaan Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao.

After all, it was touted that Aamir would play mediator between expected guests - Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, and get the two to patch up on this special night.

But alas, that was not to happen. Salman Khan reached the venue at about 11:45, sporting a jacket on top of his 'Being Human' t-shirt. Salman walked in with brother Sohail. Salman, apparently, made a quick exit, and that too, from the back gate. Salman's exit from the event happened way before Shah Rukh Khan's entry.

Shah Rukh attended the event with wife Gauri Khan. They came in late night - around 2:30 a.m. So a patch up between Salman and Shah Rukh at this do was just not possible, though many a well-wisher of the two Khans was hopeful that the hatchet would be buried, courtesy host Aamir.

We guess, we'll have to wait for another celebration of this magnitude for such magic to happen.

The big question at Imran-Avantika's wedding reception was- will Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan bury the hatchet?

The answer was quite obvious when SRK and wife Gauri excused themselves early at the party.

While political rivals Raj Thackeray of the Maharashtra Navanirman Sena, and cousin Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena, who otherwise never come 20 yards of each other, respectfully held their own at the do, our B-Towners weren't quite as successful.

The forever playful Salman laughed away his discomfort and was seen joking about in groups, while Shah Rukh and wife Gauri only stood close to the host, exchanging pleasantries.
