Salman Khan - I'm Yes 'n' I'm No?!

Recent news in prominent tabloids like TOI reported that after a lot of speculation Salman Khan had finally given a thumbs up to appearing on Karan Johar's infamous chat show, Koffee With Karan.
The underlying gossip was, that Sallu demanded as much as Rs. 50 lakh to be donated to his charity Being Human as a return on his guest appearing acquiescence. While the channel does not pay celebs to appear on KWK, KJo himself was more than happy to doll out the said amount to have Salman on the couch. His justification? - The money would be put to good cause after all.

Things were looking good as set, only a tentative date for the shooting of this episode (which was going to be the grand finale for this third season) remained to be chosen from between 30th or 31st March.

However, the dates are gone, and the scheduled shooting never did happen. Reported TOI again, that the entire deal was called off when Karan on reconsidering the idea decided, that while parting with an amount like half a crore was easily acceptable to him, he wasn't less than sure it was fair for him to buy a guest to appear on his show. He stated that he would be happy to make the donation to Being Human, but not as a pay amount for Salman to grace his grand finale. Evidently, he didn't think it just to pay an amount to Salman, when he hadn't paid any of the other actors for obliging him previously.
So that's that. While only days before Salman's fans had a big reason to rejoice, the cause is well lost for now. And since the end of the season for Koffee With Karan is almost here, we bid adieu to any hopes of seeing Dabaang Khan going candid with KJo anytime soon.

Meanwhile, any guesses on who might fill in Salman's speculated shoes for the finale episode?!
