Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan
Though it is not official, when the timing of a press conference on Monday (2 April 2012) featuring Salman Khan was changed, the media pointed fingers at the Dabangg actor for changing the schedule so that his press-con clashed with another one by archrival Shah Rukh Khan, which was happening around the same time.
Anecdotal evidence does suggest that
this is indeed not happening for the first time – Bollywood A-listers
and even rival producers are known to change and modify the timings of
their events and announcements in order to clash with their
competitor’s. Of course, the only losers in this senseless tug of war
are poor media persons who have to lug themselves and their equipment
around Mumbai and then, sometimes, wait for endless hours for the star
to turn up!
To be sure, Salman and Shah Rukh were
almost in time for their events on Monday. Did the fact that their
events coincided have anything to do with this? Well, your guess is as
good as ours…
