This had to happen one day; and it has happened. Two Bollywood Khans with egos as bloated as a hot air balloon, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan, have finally appeared in a selfie, happily striking a pose together. The occasion was the birthday party of businessman Ajay Bijli in a swanky Dubai hotel. The two looked comfortable in each other’s company and it was SRK who took the selfie. He didn’t waste any time in posting it on Twitter saying both have known one another for 25 years and it’s their first picture together. Gossip mongers are suggesting that it signals the thawing of tense ties between SRK and Amir K for a reason: they might do a two-hero film. As producers, of course.
