SRK, Arjun Rampal 'no longer friends'
The Buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan will not attend Arjun Rampals 40 th birthday party.
According to Indian media quoting a reliable source, Arjun and SRK have completely distanced themselves from one another while their wives continue to be best friends.
At the proposed 40th birthday bash that Arjun s wife Mehr is organizing in Marrackesh on November 29, Shah Rukh will be conspicuous by his absence.
"And not because SRK has other commitments and cannot be at Marrackesh. This is the alibi that s being set forward for SRK s absence at Arjun s party on 29th. But the truth is, Shah Rukh is no more on talking terms with Arjun. Their wives continue to be thick pals. In fact Gauri Khan is on top of Mehr Jessia s guest list for her husband s birthday party," says source.
Apparently Mrs Shah Rukh Khan has made it clear to Mrs Rampal that Shah Rukh is not attending the 40th birthday party.
The split between the two close friends has caused quite an awkward loyalty-issue among the friends of the two actors. Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan are apparently not attending Arjun s birthday party, because of Abhishek s closeness to Shah Rukh.
On the other hand Hrithik and Susanne who are very thick with Arjun and Mehr would be present throughout the celebrations.
Arjun heads for Marrackesh on 27 November to attend the film festival where three of his films Rock On, Raajneeti and Chakravyuha are being screened.
Understandably the actor who has lately come into his own, is excited "It would be a mini-festival of my best work and then the party that Mehr is organizing at Marrackesh. But that s a little way off. For the next couple of days I m shooting some of toughest action scenes I ve ever done.
Nikhil Advani is shooting on the outskirts of Kutch. The location is about four-hours drive away from Kutch. And quite gruelling."
About turning 40 Arjun asks, "Is it really meant to be special? That s what people said when I turned 30. But I guess at 40 you begin to make good use of the experiences that you ve gathered over the years. Earlier you are just running around trying to find your bearings."
