Inside Baba Siddique's Iftaar Party: Salman, Jacqueline and Arpita-Aayush

Congress politician Baba Siddique's annual iftaar party has twice been the scene of hug diplomacy between then warring Khans Salman and Shah Rukh, but this year only one Khan showed up. In the absence of SRK, no embrace was photographed but, since the Khans have since repaired their friendship, no hug was required.

Salman, whose family is close to Baba Siddique's, was all smiles as he entered the iftaar feast in Mumbai on July 5.

Salman posed for a picture with Varun Dhawan, Baba Siddique and his son Zeeshan.
