Actor Shah Rukh Khan may be on a long shooting schedule in London, for his first film with actor Katrina Kaif. Back home, his missus, Gauri Khan was ensuring that everything’s smooth, including keeping up smiling appearances with frenemy, actor Salman Khan.

Gauri, who’s currently in London with SRK, apparently spent the evening of 9th March with Sallu and his family. She was spotted at actor-filmmaker Sohail Khan’s wife Seema’s birthday bash last weekend. And what surprised everyone was to see her sharing pleasantries with Salman.

A source present at the party says, “Seema shares a great rapport with Gauri, therefore her coming to the party wasn’t surprising. Also Malaika and others are very friendly with her. Though there has been tension between both Salman and Shah Rukh Khan for last couple of years, that has never affected the relationship shared by the other members of both families.

“In fact, before the big spat that happened years ago at Katrina’s birthday bash, Gauri has always been friendly with Salman. Hence at Seema’s birthday when the two met they shared a warm bond and where seen chatting up and enjoying the party,” said a close friend for Salman’s family.

Also, Gauri’s other close friends were seen at the bash. SRK’s actor buddy Arjun Rampal came in with wife Mehr Jessia. “Ever since SRK-Salman’s fight, their common friends find it difficult to enjoy a party when the two warring Khans are at the same party. Though SRK’s still seen around at various dos, Salman prefers to attend family parties. This time, Seema’s bash just helped clear the air and let all old friends enjoy each other’s company without any discomfort,” adds the insider. Gauri left for London the next day, with her kids to join Shah Rukh there. So have the Khans thawed their stance towards each other? Or is it the women who are ensuring that they keep bonding, irrespective of the men-at-war in their families?
