Actor Aamir Khan visited colleague Salman Khan at home this morning, the latest in a series of celebrities who have flocked to the Khan residence in Mumbai’s Galaxy Apartments to offer their sympathies to the actor who was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder yesterday. Aamir co-starred with Salman in 1994 comedy Andaz Apna Apna and is a close friend of the family.
The actors hugged as Aamir exited the building. It was pretty much the first glimpse of Salman today.

After being granted bail till Friday by the Bombay High Court, the 49-year-old actor went home to a houseful of his Bollywood colleagues. Among them were actresses Sonakshi Sinha, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji and Bipasha Basu, all of who have co-starred in films with Salman. The actor’s ex-girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani was also present, as she usually is at Khan family gatherings

Those of Salman’s celebrity friends who could not make it to his house, tweeted. These included Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Karan Johar and several others.
