Shah Rukh Khan slaps Farah Khan’s husband over RA.One remarks
An argument apparently started when Khan confronted Kunder about the remarks he had tweeted.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan allegedly assaulted former close friend Farah Khan’s husband and filmmaker Shirish Kunder at a party thrown by actor Sanjay Dutt on Sunday, Indian newspaper The Hindustan Times reported.
The argument apparently started when Khan confronted Kunder about his remarks on Khan’s movie RA.One, which the superstar had also produced. During RA.One’s release, Kunder had tweeted: “I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.”
When things got out of hand, Dutt had to intervene to stop the brawl. Later, Dutt and another guest Sameer Arya reportedly escorted Khan out.
Filmmaker Farah Khan confirmed the incident. “Shirish, my husband, was beaten up by Shah Rukh and his three bodyguards at 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,” the choreographer-director told Headlines Today.
Farah also SMSed reporters: “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 to see him doing the same (sic).”

It has been a double whammy for SRK. His movies have flopped recently and even more painful than that is the success of his archenemy Salman. The last 4 movies of Salman have been hits which must be pretty hard to take for SRK. No wonder he lost it.

Insecurity and jealousy leads to violence, Mr. SRK

somone rightly posted : of course he must have done something to provoke srk
if witnesses like dabboo ratnani being there has taken to twitter to declare that he supports srk for what he did, n many other reports stating that shirish was following srk around provoking him. it’s clear that srk is not to be blamed in the story
even more proof if from ameesha patel who DESPITE BEING FARAH KHAN friend has admitted on twitter that shirish should not have spoken about srk like this in public .being farah frnd she wud hv supported her if srk was wrong but thumbs up to HER for supporting the truth

@darshil safi:
Everybody has a right to voice his opinion. Doesn’t mean that SRK can physically attack him. Sirish is a nobody but that is not the issue here.

SRK is going down. His movies used to be so amazing before. He was my fav. But now he seems to bossy and proud of himself. His acting is Pathetic now he keeps overdoing it. He seems to be having a midlife crisis. He acts as if he’s still 25 years old. He should accept that he’s over 40 and he should act that way. Now all those cheap romantic quotes he used to speak while shaking his head as if he’s getting electric shocks seems very desperate. Poor guy. Now it’s overRecommend
But…how can he slap?

This is the character of a star who Indians and Pakistani idealize to the extent of worshiping him.

long live SRK……..Great Job :-)

We never expected such an absurd act from SRK. There must be some real reason behind it and I beleive that farhan khan’s husband must have said something really humiliating which provoked SRK to put his fist on him.

There are many comments in this forum supporting the actors beating up of another person. No wonder there is so much violence in this society when common people justify violence even though they have no relationship with either of the people involved.

Shirish Kunder’s Jaan-e-man was entertainig. Shahrukh and Farah Khan both make equally crappy movies; they should slap each other.

This is really weird; its the first time Shahrukh Khan has been linked with such hot temper and bad behavior. If its true, its very disappointing; especially since Ra One WAS truly dreadful :p.

Another strong evidence that Ra one was flop!!!
Four duds in 5 years is too much for any star.Don-2 is the only face saving pictire but did not beat even bodyguard.
Aamir Khan took the number 1 mantle 7 years ago. SRK keeps dreaming that he is number one. Another hit-either Aamirs Talaash or Salmaan’s will be the end of the chapter for SRK.

SRK is not an idol, not a god! Apart from being a celebrity he’s just a HUMAN BEING.. Slapping someone isn’t a big deal its normal human behavoir. Why try to analyze it :/

People couldnt take RA-One, people who commented against the movie Indians themselves, are either lost or have NO Freaking Idea how difficult is it do VFX work, Indians should have been proud that all was in-house in their country ..
Accept it or not its a new form of art yes its cheesy but it is, before commenting on any movie just go out and trying making a 1 Min movie.. or less even without VFX, you will automatically learn respect for other filmmakers
Happy Filming!

An act someone does against his will is not his act. SRK was forced to act the way he did – he is everyone’s favorite and am sure guards his reputation as zealously as any man.
Recommend
SRK should learn a thing or two from the likes of Sanju Baba…he should have been man enough to take on Shirish alone. But, for a man who couldn’t take a critique gracefully, nothing else could be expected.

SRK……..he has lost his cool after Ra.one flopped big time. He was weired in his interview on NDTV while promoting don 2. He has lost to Salman,Aamir,Ajay,Akshay and Hrithik. This was expected from him since the success he got he did’nt deserve and he knew that.
Recommend
SRK is now insecure and he is unable to accept the fact that his time is now over.He is a chain smoker and it now shows on his face which makes him look like really old.Anyone can beat with 3 BodyGuards around.. if he had spine,he wud have done it alone. I am sure Shirish wud have given him tight punch.His fame doesn`t give him the right to attack others.It should be condemned and i still see people here supporting Shahrukh.Such stupid people are here india only.
Recommend
i am an SRK fan, but it saddens me to know that he slapped someone like that. He lost his grace and coolness.
i have watched all of SRK’s films and yes, Ra.One was one of the worst. But why he lost his cool over it is beyond my understanding. Loosing and winning is part of life.
but, SRK, we still love you.
