Shah Rukh Khan on a re-bonding mission with old pals

Actor Shah Rukh Khan seems to be in a mood to not just make new friends, (the latest being his upcoming film’s co-star Katrina Kaif) but also bridge the distance with his old pals. At a recently held film success bash of old pal and actor Juhi Chawla, the actor came in to support and congratulate his friend. And if sources are to be believed then SRK wants his old pals back in his life.

Says a source, “SRK and Juhi have been friends for years, but buzz is, they had a tiff of sorts at the beginning of the Ra.One promotions, which put a strain on their relationship. The fact that Juhi’s brother Bobby Chawla, who headed SRK’s production team  wasn’t credited enough for his efforts especially since he has been hospitalised for the last one- and-a-half years, seems to have been the bone of contention. A busy schedule seems to have prevented SRK from being able to be there for Juhi, when she felt low about her brother’s condition. But the two recently decided to put their differences aside and renew their friendship on a stronger footing. So be it for their cricket team or the success bash of a film, the two can be seen making efforts to put their friendship back on track.”

But it’s not just Juhi, other pals like Preity Zinta, too, got a glimpse of SRK’s magnanimous side. “The two stars have always been very close and have worked on various projects. But they recently raised eyebrows when they, as owners of different cricket teams, took to donning each others’ team jerseys. SRK also said that should Preity ever need help of any kind, he’d love to be there for her.  Also the patch-up with estranged friend, filmmaker Farah Khan after the infamous spat with her husband, filmmaker Shirish Kunder at a popular lounge bar, proves that the star is in a mood to let go of all differences, and just be there for his pals wholeheartedly,” adds the source.
