Alvira's Blackberry message reignites KHAN fued

The fact that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are not the best of friends, since a very memorable birthday bash in Bandra on July 16, 2008, is no secret. And while both the actors have managed not to add fuel to the three-year-old fire in the recent past, Salman's sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri seems to have reignited the tensions between the two actors.

A few days ago, after the release of Shah Rukh's ambitious venture RA.One, Alvira's Blackberry status message interestingly read: 'Even a Superhero needs a Bodyguard!'

Reportedly, Alvira's rather bold and not so cryptic message spread like wildfire among people in the industry, even though she quickly updated that particular status message.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror that those close to Salman's family have defended Alvira's Blackberry status update on the pretext that RA.One garnered mixed reviews and she was entitled to her opinion.

However, some others in the industry are of the opinion that Alvira did not need to be sarcastic. "This is nothing but sarcasm. They need not take such a dig at SRK," said a supporter of the SRK camp.

In fact, those who support SRK have gone as far as to insinuate that Salman got his sister to write the status message.

The source explained, "Alvira looks up to Salman and wouldn't do anything drastic like this without being told. And even if this was her idea, she must have definitely informed him and asked for his consent to write the message. Either way, Salman must be in the loop."

However, a friend of Alvira's defended, "Yes, Alvira did put up that Blackberry status message which you are talking about. So what if she did? Blackberry status messages are meant to be fun. It was just a joke between Alvira and one of her close friends. It was not meant to take a dig at Shah Rukh."
