Salman Khan once again trampled on Vivek Oberoi’s efforts at making peace between them. Vivek was given the task of inviting Salman on the stage at a function and he prepared a note with words like “rockstar of Bollywood” and “man with a golden heart” to describe Sallu. Salman, however, got to know about this and asked Anil Kapoor to invite him on stage instead.
