ShahRukh Khan will not be making an appearance on Bigg Boss 5 to promote Ra.One. Since SRK’s falling out with Salman Khan is well known, no one was too surprised by the badshaah’s decision.

But we now hear that Sallu’s Season 5 co-host, and SRK’s good friend Sanjay Dutt, had actually approached the King Khan to make an appearance on Bigg Boss.

“It was all to be timed very conveniently, for a segment that Salman would not be shooting for,” a little birdie informs us. “But SRK felt that Bigg Boss was too much of Salman’s territory to venture there. Fortunately, Sanjay understood his compunction.” SRK in the meantime tried to laugh off the issue. “I would find the atmosphere in the Bigg Boss house too tense,” the superstar said.
