SRK beats up Shirish Kunder - Page 2

The 57th Filmfare Awards clearly wasn't enough of glitz and glamour for the Bollywood brigade on Sunday night as all roads after the awards lead to the big fat party hosted by Sanjay Dutt to celebrate the blockbuster opening of Agneepath.

But the celebration turned rough when Shah Rukh Khan dropped by in the wee hours, after hosting the Filmfare Awards show with Ranbir Kapoor. A heated exchange reportedly took place between Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder, husband of ace choreographer and director Farah Khan. Farah maintains that Shah Rukh assaulted Shirish, saying, "Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem and that it means the person who's hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. And it saddens me 2 see him doing the same."

However Shah Rukh has confirmed to NDTV that while there was a disagreement, there was certainly no "assault" .

Of course, what everyone is wondering is what could have been the trigger? Camp Farah maintains that it was a random, unsolicited attack by the usually cool and collected Khan, but other sources say that Kunder had been misbehaving and Sanjay Dutt had already expressed his displeasure.

While there was a time when Farah Khan couldn't think of working with anyone else but SRK, 2010 changed the bonhomie to bitterness between the two. She picked Akshay Kumar over SRK for Tees Maar Khan, reportedly because she didn't want people to think that she made films only for SRK.

Post that, Farah Khan tried to make amends with SRK, even hugging him on a TV dance reality show, but Shirish Kunder took potshots at SRK on Twitter after the release of SRK's sci-fi flick, Ra. One. He tweeted, "The super hero in Ra One has all the powers in the world, but to entertain." Going a step further, Shirish called it a flop. The filmmaker wrote, "I just heard a 150 cr firework fizzle."

He went on to compare the business of Ra.One with collection of Salman Khan's blockbuster flick, Bodyguard on the first day. The filmmaker tweeted, "Bodyguard is trending. Everything else is pending."

Shirish Kunder too was once close to SRK and he has worked as editor for his hit movies like Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. But their friendship reportedly fell through when SRK turned down Joker, Shirish's new film.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan allegedly beat up filmmaker Shirish Kunder at a party hosted by actor Sanjay Dutt on Sunday.

In a telephonic conversation with Headlines Today, the editor-turned-filmmaker's choreographer-cum-director wife Farah Khan confirmed the incident and said three of SRK's bodyguards joined the superstar in thrashing her husband.

"Shirish, my husband, was beaten up by Shah Rukh and his three bodyguards in Sanjay Dutt's party. Shah Rukh asked Shirish why he had tweeted against him... There was no provocation from our side. He had screamed at Shirish telling him that he would destroy me as well," Farah told Headlines Today.
