At Karan Johar’s birthday bash at Shah Rukh Khan’s home, Mannat, on Wednesday night there were a few prominent faces missing. Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan — all friends of the birthday boy were not present to wish the filmmaker. For appearances’ sake, it was not a party, but just friends getting together to watch Shah Rukh’s team play the eliminator match. However, a lot of film people did get calls two days earlier asking them to come for Karan’s birthday dinner at SRK’s house.
Because of the venue, Salman, who is said to be in talks with Karan for his home production was not invited.
Aamir was not present as he was in Puducherry, but the biggest mystery is why Akshay Kumar was left out of the guestlist. The actor’s wife Twinkle Khanna has been friends with Karan for years and has always been present at all his bashes. So why the omission? Especially because Farah Khan was invited, despite her fallout with King Khan.
