This is, I feel, the crux of SRK's problem. He uses sex, and emotional manipulation to get people over to his side so quite naturally they feel betrayed on a personal level when he gets distracted by something or someone new and shiney. When people feel jerked over in business it's a damaging thing but when it becomes personal emotions take over and it turns into an outright insult.
As far as Arjun is concerned SRK got what he wanted out of Arjun---sex with a goodlooking male model. It's not like he just wanted to "help" someone. Sure Arjun may have liked SRK and SRK may have liked Arjun on some level but the element of unequal power and one person being the dispenser of largess as long as the other person did what they wanted makes things doubly tricky for the person in the one down position.
I'm not surprised that lots of people feel used by SRK. He sucks them in and charms them until they feel they really ARE special to him. If he kept things on a strictly business level and didn't rely so heavily on making people fall in love with him for his control of situations I don't think there'd be as much stored up resentment against him as there is.
I'll bet Karan Johar feels all kinds of used, PC is feeling it now too it seems and poor Gauri, the girl he wanted so much he stood against the whole film establishment to marry her when they advised against it---well I'd bet she's been in hell for years and to such an extent that extinguishing her feelings through any substance to hand seems a blessing.
Talk about "boytoys" and that crap all you want, but for most women (not all but MOST) that's a stopgap and an attempt to fill the void.
He hurt her, he hurt his kids and he hurt all those who are now discovering that SRK's "love" doesn't rise much above his waist unless it's his love for his fame.
Sucks to be him, but even more it sucks to be the people who really believed he loved them.
(that said I don't think Hrithik really has deserted SRK and I'm sure Juhi will always be a shoulder for him should he need her)
