It was almost a year ago when the close friendship between the two actors went kaput.
Recently, SRK even arranged a film screening at his home, Mannat and Arjun's name was believed to be on the guest list. However, after the actor didn't turn up, there were rumours if all was indeed right between them.
Declining to comment on the matter, Arjun says he does not want anyone's buri nazar to affect his close friendship with Shah Rukh.
Says Arjun, `I am close to a lot of people and I believe in nazar. Whenever I talk about my friendships and relationships in public, things seem to go bad.
Perhaps, it's the pressure to live up to people's expectations or simply because others make it a talking point. For me, friendship is a personal matter and that's the way it should remain.`
