SRK loyalists switch to Sallu

With Dabangg becoming one of India's biggest box-office hits, loyalists from Shah Rukh Khan's camp are straying into an unlikely compound — Galaxy Apartments a.k.a Sallu's den.

SRK loyalists seem to be changing camps after Dabangg has set the cash registers ringing. On Saturday evening, Salman hosted a bash (the twin reasons being Eid, Ganpati and Dabangg raking it in at the box-office).

What raised eyebrows at the party was the entry of four Shah Rukh loyalists- Nikhil Dwivedi, Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Kapoor and Chunky Pandey.

For Nikhil, we understand that he had a promise to keep. Not so long ago, he had differences with Shah Rukh and later patched up. But during that period, he became close to Salman.

However, nobody at the party itself could stop talking about the entry of Ritesh, Sanjay and Chunky.

When contacted, Sanjay was diplomatic. He said, "Yes, I did go to Salman's residence on Saturday. That way, I went to Shah Rukh's Eid party too on Saturday. I am equally close to both, Salman and Shah Rukh." Wonder how he maintains a balanced equation between two sworn enemies!

Chunky in his inimitable style said, "I go everywhere."

Nikhil Dwivedi and Ritesh Deshmukh chose not to reply to our text messages. Guess the question was too tricky!
