Fans rejoiced to see SRK and Shah Rukh Khan's friendly gesture.
For the unversed, Sunny and SRK reportedly didn't speak to each other for 16 years, although they starred together in Darr.
The feud started when Sunny was not happy with how Shah Rukh's character of a stalker was glorified in Darr when he was the protagonist. On Aap Ki Adalat he had said, "I had a heated discussion with Yash Chopra regarding that scene. I tried explaining that I am a commando officer in the film. My character is an expert and fit, then how can this boy beat me easily? He can beat me if I can't see him. If he can stab me while I am looking at him, then I won't be called a commando. Soon, out of anger, I didn't even realise that I had ripped my pants with my handsAt the end of the day, people loved me in the film. They loved Shah Rukh Khan as well. My only issue with the film was that I did not know they would glorify the villain. I always work in films with an open heart and believe in the person. I believe in working with trust. Unfortunately, we have many actors and stars who don't function in this manner. Maybe that's the way they want to get their stardom."
In a throwback interview with Filmfare, Sunny called Darr the worst experience of his life. "If I were to start my career again, I would avoid a mistake called 'Darr'. The making of the film was the worst experience of my life. I was sick of the manipulations and lies. One day in Switzerland, I was so angry that when I stuffed my hands into the pockets, I ripped the jeans I was wearing."
Recently, Sunny told Times Now, "Shah Rukh Khan had seen the film. Before that, he had called me and wished me well. He was so happy, and he told me 'I'm so happy, you genuinely deserve it' and I said thank you. Then I spoke to his wife (Gauri Khan) and his son (Aryan Khan). And he said tonight we are going to be watching this film. And after that, he had seen it, and I think that is when he tweeted. It was so beautiful. Many times, I've also called him up and we shared our thoughts on certain things. About the past issues - whatever they were, I would say time heals everything and we move ahead. That's the way life should be."
