It seems the cold war between Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan is still ongoing, as the latter refused to attend an AIDS last week.

Amitabh was invited by Smita Thakeray for the Mukti Foundation function, and all was going well. Big B was busy shooting for Aladdin but made sure the shoot finished by 5. Says a source, “Bachchan wound up his shooting much before the event started. Mr. Bachchan left the sets by 5 pm. Maybe Bachchan felt that SRK would get all the attention at the event. Given that, it would be somewhat demeaning for an actor of Big B’s stature to play second fiddle.”

Instead a recorded message of Amitabh Bachchan was displayed on-screen explaining why the legend was absent.

What are your thoughts on this… do you feel that this cold war will ever end or not? Is Amitabh Bachchan right to worry about the threat from Shah Rukh Khan or is he just making a mountain out of a molehill? Should the two mega stars attend events, charity events, atleast… together?
