Firstly, as an employee she was asked on various occasions by the production team to keep her personal matters outside the shooting venue. But since her loud problems kept getting between the shoots and creating havoc, SRK had to get hold of the situation and make it right.
And since Salman decided to be his usual drunk and verbal sense, SRK intervened and told him to get off the sets...thus saving Ash from being physically abused at that point of time which was mentioned by Ash herself right after the incident when she broke up with Salman.
As for not getting a proper dismissal from the film, I agree it was very hastily and unappropriately done. SRK on various accounts has apologized and admitted that throwing Ash without a proper explanation was the worst thing he has done. But he also claims that he was given the last position to throw her out...so it was basically never his decision.
And as for SRK "picking up on the weaker one", that is so not true. He fought with Salman because of that incident....that was their first fight. I don't see how he took the side of Salman.
Ummm...are you kidding me? Ash's statement about SRK was voted the most popular statement on NDTV that year...it was about how "SRK was a great actor, but had a long way to go as a human being". Furthermore, she had lots to say about SRK in various interviews including the Simi Garewal show.
