Superstar Salman Khan joked that Shah Rukh Khan is too busy to enter the "Bigg Boss house" as a contestant but is welcome to visit to share his life experiences with those in the fray.

At a press meet on Monday to talk about the upcoming season of the popular reality show, Salman, to queries if there was a chances that Shah Rukh will promote "Dilwale" on the show, said: "I don't think so, he'll be busy to go inside. No, I don't think he will go in."

Realising the question was about promotion, he then hastened to correc himself. "For promoting? It means if he has the dates, and if he wants to come on the show then he is more than welcome. He wants to come and go spend some time with the contestants, he's more than welcome.

"So I would put it not as I would love him and I want him to come on the show, because it is carried away in a different thing and there is pressure put there. But if he's coming, he should come, promote, have fun, go inside, chit-chat with the contestants, give them his life's experiences, he's got a lot of experience in his life," he said.

Asked about the possibility of both of them coming together on the show, he said: "A film with him and me on the same day 'is a possibility'," referring to the epic box-office clash between their films, "Sultan" and "Raees" on Eid next year.

After a fallout few years back, the two superstars are back on talking terms, greeting each other and wishing each other luck for their films.

The ninth season of the show is titled "Double Trouble" and according to reports, television actors Mahi Vij, Roopal Tyagi, Ankit Gera and Rashmi Desai are some of the likely contestants.
