It's almost a plot of reel life spun into real life. At the inaugural session of 'FICCI FRAMES-2010' superstar Shah Rukh Khan was spotted sharing the dais with none other than Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

Though Katrina and Karan Johar were seen together at earlier occasions too, the SRK twist in the tale adds some extra spice.
On the day when Katrina shared dais with SRK, Salman was spotted alone attending the mahurat of Smita Thackeray's film Society.
SRK and Salman Khan's tiff is not new in the film industry. There have been many occasions when they deliberately chose to avoid each other at film functions and parties.
So when Katrina Kaif joins Shah Rukh at the inaugural session of 'FICCI FRAMES-2010', we can just speculate.
FICCI-FRAMES 2010 is a global convention on entertainment business.
Beginning on March 16, this global convention will continue for three days.
Actress Katrina Kaif, Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar were among the prominent invitees.
They inaugurated the session and addressed the gathering too.
Speaking at the inaugural session of 'FICCI FRAMES-2010', Shah Rukh said that Indian filmmakers must learn screenplay writing techniques, visual effects and discipline in doing movie business from Hollywood.
"However, learning Hollywood screenplay and technology is not about losing the intrinsic quality of our stories. We must maintain our own cinematic individuality," he said.
Shah Rukh advocated formation of alliances with Hollywood to help the Indian film industry nurture its potentially different story format, the musical-drama format and "make us travel around the world".
Shah Rukh emphasized that "the sooner Indian filmmakers realize that screenplay is not an art form but a science, the faster Indian movies will globalize and Hollywood can exchange that know-how with India".
"The big investment we are looking for from Hollywood is the training of mechanics for running machines for visual effects. We need to develop people who can make us our own cheaper, better and faster softwares for filmmaking and have a special branch of trained visual effect teams and talent here," Shah Rukh added.
Stressing on discipline, Shah Rukh said that the Indian film industry needs to adopt from Hollywood the discipline and organisation with which it does its business.
"This organisation already exists in other Indian businesses, but is woefully lacking in the business of films," he pointed out.
"This (organisation) also needs to filter down to the film distribution systems based on their models and learn the science of marketing films," Shah Rukh added.
