It was a moment straight out of a Bollywood blockbuster when heartthrobs Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan joined forces at a high-profile celebrity reception. The duo, often hailed as the indomitable ‘Karan-Arjun’ of Hindi cinema, brought their charismatic on-screen magic to Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s reception party, rounding off the celebrations with a spontaneous serenade that caught everyone’s attention.
An inside video capturing Shah Rukh and Salman serenading Anil Kapoor’s wife, Sunita Kapoor, has been making rounds on social media, much to the delight of millions of their fans. The charm offensive, displaying the two black-suited stars singing and dancing, combines nostalgia and brotherhood as they perform to a track from their film ‘Karan-Arjun’, amidst a backdrop of laughter and merriment with Anil Kapoor and Ranveer Singh adding to the jovial atmosphere.
The clip showcases Sunita Kapoor, who appears both delighted and overwhelmed by the attention, while the two Khans play to the gallery, evidencing their infectious energy.

The wide array of comments on the video reflects the public’s adoration for the duo, with fans expressing their love for Salman and Shah Rukh’s on—and off-screen—comradeship. Evident from the comments section are the excited reactions and heartwarming praises such as “Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan jodi always best in Bollywood history,” “Bhaijaan and kingkhan,” and the anticipatory “Karan Arjun aayenge” remarking on their legendary screen partnership.
In a candid chat with ANI, Salman revealed insights into their dynamic partnership, stating, “Our off-screen chemistry is better than our on-screen chemistry. When the on-screen chemistry is so good, you can understand the off-screen chemistry.” The actor elaborated on their mutual film cameos saying, “Me and Shah Rukh Khan keep making guest appearances in each other’s films. It feels good that our fans love it. There is always an excitement as the bond that we share extends off-screen as well.”
In an industry often scrutinized for rivalry, Salman addressed the social media competition between their fan bases with his characteristic nonchalance.
