Salman Khan's arm-bar on Shah Rukh: Bollywood's greatest hug ever?

The social media, newspapers and news channels were scrambling for every piece of information as the peace treaty took place on Sunday evening, and we won't be surprised if some producer decides to make a movie out of the gritty details.

No we are not talking about US-Russia or India-Pakistan peace deal; this is a Bollywood drama.

Social media went berserk as soon as news poured in that Bollywood arch rival Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan hugged each other at an iftar party on Sunday.

It was an earth shattering moment for staunch believers that Salman-SRK can never be friends again, and for few their faith that world can be a better place was restored.

#SalmanHuggedSRK, Salman and Shah Rukh figured in the top Twitter trends in Indian making their cordial hug the much publicised ‘hug’ ever.

Rs 100 crores club movie within 100 minutes - any takers?

Talking about peace, even this story of 'hug and kiss' saw social media split into two.

Bollywood bashers wanted to tear their hair off about the entire hullabaloo when country's economy is nose diving.

People who wanted to save the world chastised media for hyperventilating about the incident allegedly ignoring all the wrongs happening in the rest of the world.

Amit Agarwal @amitagarwalraj: #SalmanHuggedSRK & suddenly all news like Corruption, Politics, Sports, Votes,Elections, SC,CBI etc. wiped out from Media".

Sandipan posted: "#SalmanHuggedSRK is trending... #MidDayMeal, #UKhand, #BodhGaya, #Puppy, #Burqa et al are forgotten....we are indeed a happy nation !!!"

"btw, how about declaring 21st July as the National Hug Day? #ShahrukhHugsSalman"

Swami @mohitraj: "#SalmanHuggedSRK now our economy will grow by 10%,Chinese soldiers will go back, all terrorists will surrender & petrol prices will fall 50%".

Aastha. @blahblah_l_: "Now that Salman Khan hugged Shah Rukh Khan, we can pay more attention to inferior matters like rape, poverty, lack of education and food."

Kartik Dayanand @KartikDayanand: "I hear there is a war going on now between the fans as to what has to trend - #SalmanHuggedSRK or #SRKHuggedSalman".

Psycho @i_Psycho: "RT @PMOIndia #SalmanhuggedSRK Yet another achievement of UPA in its 9 years."

The Salman-SRK fans must have wept a little overflowing with joy and visualising the ultimate hug.

Karan Prajapati @karan120490: "now people spreading hate between srk and salman, grow up people ,#SalmanHuggedSRK"

SalmanHuggedSRK:D @SRK_fangirl 22h: "Now that they hugged, I want them to celebrate Eid together and become BFFs for life! #SalmanHuggedSRK #YIPIEEEEE".

amaanath prem @APrem 8m: "i love this peaceful abuseLESS tweetland especially abt khans #SalmanHuggedSRK hope this takes a positive n happier turn in both their lives".

While the Earth went little tizzy because of 'the hug', it was a master stroke by, host of the party, politician Baba Siddique.

With a little nudge he ended other iftar parties’ hope to get any bigger Page 3 mention.

Niks @niks27_shah 11s: "I think Baba Siddique should be Nominated for the Nobel peace prize for brokering peace between SRK & Salman Khan. #SalmanHuggedSRK".

So while the cynics might beg to differ, let’s give it to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan for yet again another blockbuster.

They conveniently stole the spotlight from all other national and international news on Twitter and can be called the real superstars of Bollywood.
