It's a known fact that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is good friends with other two Khans – Shah Rukh and Aamir.

However, one Khan if the actor has been keeping a distance from is Saif Ali Khan.

What's interesting is the fact that Saif's wife Kareena Kapoor Khan is good friends with Salman and has also teamed up with him for many films.
 
Reasons best known to them, the two popular Khans have been keeping distance and managed to keep it away from media glare as well.

But in a twist of fate, Salman surprised everyone when he extended an invite of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' screening to Saif recently.

In an interview to Times of Indian Saif says he has known Salman even before he knew Kareena.

And that the relationship he shares with Salman has changed over the years, but there are some aspects of it that will never change.

So was it because of Kareena that Saif was invited for the special screening? When quizzed Saif, who seems to have been emotionally touched by the former's gesture, has been quoted by the publication saying, "I hope not. Salman, I know, would not do anything just for the sake of it. I have known him longer than I have known Kareena. So I would hope that our equation is not dependent on her and I felt very nice about it."

Saif said, "He (Salman) is someone I have known for a very long time and was the No.1 star when I had thought of joining movies. He is someone I just respect and look up to. I will always look up to him for many reasons.

"We have done films and shows together. Over time, there have been some differences that have come up, which him and I best know about and that will always remain between him and me only. He is someone I have worked with, spent a lot of time with and he is someone I greatly admire as a brother. And that will never change."

It was just a month back that we heard Saif had turned down a Salman Khan production film, citing date issues as he is busy with Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Rangoon'.

Since Saif has made it clear that the reason/s for differences between them would stay between them, we can only let it be.
