January 20, 2025: The Bigg Boss 18 Grand Finale wasn’t short of surprises, though fans had hoped for the much-discussed reunion between Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Instead, they were treated to an even more nostalgic moment when Salman’s long-time friend, Aamir Khan, made a special appearance on the show, accompanied by his son Junaid Khan and co-star Khushi Kapoor from Loveyapa. What followed was a blend of touching revelations and hilarious banter between the two superstars, reminding fans why their iconic chemistry continues to captivate audiences.
As Aamir took the Bigg Boss Finale stage, he shared an emotional story from the past, which left both the actor and the audience visibly moved. He recalled stumbling upon an old video of Salman praising his performance in the classic comedy Andaz Apna Apna—a gesture Salman had made years ago, and one Aamir had never seen until recently. “I had never seen that video before, and when I watched it after 30 years, it really touched me,” Aamir confessed. “He praised me with so much love in the clip, and I shared it with him immediately.”
The warm moment sparked a wave of reflection on the rocky start to their friendship. Salman, known for his playful and candid nature, shared an amusing anecdote from their early years of collaboration. He recalled a time when Aamir had once vowed never to work with him again after a tense experience on set. “I remember Aamir saying, ‘I’ll never work with him again,’ after a particular incident on set,” Salman recalled, bringing the audience to laughter. “We were both trying to juggle hectic schedules, and our personalities clashed at the time.”
Aamir, laughing along, acknowledged the past but revealed how his perspective had shifted over the years. “That was my feeling at the time, but with time, I’ve come to appreciate Salman for who he is. It just took me some time to understand,” Aamir admitted, adding a heartwarming touch to their reunion.
The story didn’t end there at the Bigg Boss 18 Finale. Junaid Khan, ever the prankster, decided to stir things up by challenging the two stars to a lighthearted game: swapping phones to check each other’s messages. Salman, however, wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t want to play this,” he protested, drawing laughter from the crowd. Aamir tried to convince him, but Salman remained firm, joking, “You’re a settled person. You’ve been married twice, have kids, and I haven’t had any of those.”

The playful back-and-forth at the Bigg Boss 18 Finale continued as the duo reminisced about their past disagreements. Salman explained the reason behind their initial tensions: their intense schedules. While Aamir would arrive on set early for a single film, Salman was juggling multiple projects at once. “I was working on 15 films at the time, so I would arrive later than Aamir,” Salman explained, almost defensively.
However, Aamir didn’t entirely approve of Salman’s relentless work ethic. “Don’t clap; you shouldn’t do that,” Aamir joked, prompting laughter from the audience. Salman, ever the cheeky one, shot back, “He worked like that too, but he was among the first ones to stop doing so.”
The interaction between the two superstars at the Bigg Boss 18 Finale was filled with warmth, humor, and a testament to their long-standing friendship. Fans couldn’t help but appreciate the candid nature of their conversation, reflecting how much both actors had grown over the years—both in their personal lives and their professional careers. As the evening of Bigg Boss 18 Finale wrapped up, it was clear that the bond between Aamir and Salman was stronger than ever, proving that time and understanding can turn even the most volatile beginnings into lasting friendships.
Bigg Boss 18 fans may have missed out on one reunion, but they got a heartfelt glimpse into the relationship between two of Bollywood’s biggest stars, who continue to bring magic to the screen—together or apart.
