Among the host of celebs, including Pooja Hegde, Kartik Aaryan, Suniel Shetty, Tabu, Sangeeta Bijlani, Shah Rukh grabbed the most attention.

The videos of the two superstars sharing a sweet moment in embrace are doing rounds on the Internet. The fans were left in awe as the two shared the frames together.

A netizen wrote about Salman and Shah Rukh Khan's bond, "The best, most intimate and close friendship in Bollywood." Another fan on Instagram also said the moment reminded him of Shah Rukh and Salman attending politician Baba Siddique's Iftaar party in 2013, where they ended their years-long cold war by giving each other a warm hug.

SRK and Salman's friendship has stood the test of time despite two major fights between the two - One during the making of 'Chalte Chalte' when Salman regularly showed up on sets and created ruckus over his girlfriend Aishwarya Rai which resulted in the actress getting ousted from the film and replaced by Rani Mukerji.

Second was during Katrina Kaif's birthday back in 2008 when the two superstars came at loggerhead over their respective reality television game shows.

But, one person who caught everyone's attention at the event was Salman's ex-flame Sangeeta Bijlani.

One video from the birthday party has been going viral on the Internet and it shows Salman giving a peck on Sangeeta's forehead. As she prepares to leave, Salman hugs the former actress and kisses her forehead and bids her adieu with folded hands in gratitude.

While Salman is known for his relationships with many women, his and Sangeeta's relationship was much publicised in the media, The two dates for almost a decade and were set to tie the knot even the cards were printed.

During his appearance on Koffee With Karan, Salman had spoken about almost marrying Sangeeta.

"There was a time that I really wanted to get married and then it just didn't work out. I have always come so close. People have got cold feet. 'Theek hai, boyfriend, isko zindagi bhar jhelna padega kya (They think I am a good boyfriend but it's difficult to tolerate me for the rest of their lives).' With Sangeeta, even the cards and all were printed," he said.

Sangeeta eventually married former cricketer and skipper of the Indian cricket team Mohammad Azharuddin.
