It was as if Salman was alluding to a scene from Dear Zindagi, in which Jehangir or Jug asks Kaira, an aspiring cinematographer, if she has worked with Salman, and if Salman's much-talked about six-pack abs are worth the hype.
This is how Salman started:

Dear Shah Rukh and Salman, we would love to see you two catch up. At this year's iftaar party hosted by Baba Siddique, Shah Rukh and Salman were colour co-ordinated in black.

In the years before they ended their feud, the Khans, were photographed hugging at Baba Siddique's parties. The two of the biggest Bollywood stars conducted a bitter six-year cold war after falling out at actress Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008. They were both photographed hugging at Baba Siddique's parties previously. They repaired their broken friendship in 2014 at Salman's sister Arpita's wedding.
Salman Khan, who turns 51 soon, is currently busy with Tubelight, his next film with Kabir Khan. Salman is also expected to reprise his role in Tiger Zinda Hai, sequel to Ek Tha Tiger. Shah Rukh Khan, 51, has Raees set for release on January 26 while his upcoming films also include a film with Imtiaz Ali, tentatively titled The Ring.
Dear Zindagi released on November 25.
