Baba Siddique Ends SRK-Salman Fight: Former Congress Leader’s Role in Reconciliation

The event was a major highlight, with a photo of the moment spreading quickly on social media and news outlets. Mr. Siddique, a seasoned politician in Maharashtra, had previously served as a minister during the Congress and Sharad Pawar-led NCP coalition government.

Known for his extensive political network and penchant for throwing extravagant parties, Mr. Siddique inadvertently facilitated the reconciliation of Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan at one such event in 2013. Despite past conflicts and notable disagreements, the two actors have maintained a bond over the years.

The “Iftaar” party hosted by Mr. Siddique provided the setting for the highly anticipated reconnection between the Khans. Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, who had avoided each other since a tense encounter at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party in 2008, finally came face to face.

The tension that had marred their relationship dissipated as they warmly greeted each other and shared a heartfelt hug. This momentous occasion was immortalized in a viral photo that circulated widely across social media and news platforms.

Mr. Siddique expressed gratitude to all those who had been part of the journey. Currently, his son holds the position of Congress MLA from Bandra (East) in Mumbai.
