"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.
After attending the Filmfare awards, Shah Rukh Khan made his way to Sanjay Dutt's home on Sunday, well past midnight, to attend the Agneepath success party.
Unfortunately, SRK ran into his friends-turned-foes Farah Khan and husband Shirish Kunder at the party.
According to sources, SRK confronted Kunder about his Ra.One jibes on Twitter.
For those wondering, when Ra.One was struggling at the box office after its release, Kunder had tweeted: 'I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.'
A war of words followed, which suddenly turned to blows.
According to some sources, the acrimony between the two men which had been building up over the months reached a flashpoint when Shah Rukh reached Dutt’s party past 3.30 am. A source close to the actor said, “Shirish started to tail Shah Rukh saying, ‘I am waiting…I am waiting.’ He even followed him to the men’s room and deliberately bumped into him. After he came out of the washroom Shah Rukh went up to Shirish, held him by the neck and said, ‘My children were very hurt when you tweeted about the movie. I had promised them I would slap you when I meet you next but I won’t. I am just warning you that don’t mess with me,’ said the source who did not wish to be identified.
Shirish did away with discretion as part of his valour and retorted: I give a f*** about you,’ sending Shah Rukh into paroxysm of rage. Eye witnesses who had by now abandoned their drinks and gathered around, claim that Shah Rukh first pulled Shirish’s hair as he tried to escape, then his tee-shirt, and slapped him then sat astride him as he tried to hit Shirish again, saying, ‘I’ll destroy you, throw you out of the industry aur tere friend ko ja ke bol mein uski maar loonga.’ Aurus owner and another close friend of Salman, Baba Dewan was heard protesting about the slight directed at his absent pal.
Apparently, Baba Diwan, who's Sanjay and Salman's good friend didn't take this comment kindly and tried to reason with SRK. "Seeing Baba Dewan intervene, Sanju too rushed towards them to break up the fight," says our source, adding that soon afterwards, at about 4 am, Shirish walked out, covering his face which had begun to swell as he had been badly hit. Incidentally, neither Shirish's wife Farah nor SRK's wife Gauri attended this party.
Later, Dutt and Sameer Arya (brother-in-law of filmmaker Goldie Behl) escorted SRK out.
When contacted, Shirish said that he didn't even know when SRK walked in. Recollecting being dragged by the hair and pushed on the couch, he said, "Shah Rukh punched and jumped on me. And he had three bodyguards with him. I don't know what got him. I was numb with shock so I couldn't react. He kept screaming at me, 'What do you think of yourself? I'll see to it that you're out of this industry."
Asserting that he didn't know what instigated SRK into attacking him, Shirish stated, "I was totally unprepared for this kind of an attack. If I was standing in some area where I would expect some goondaism, I would have been better prepared. But this is a classy party. Who would expect someone to jump on your from behind?" The director adds that Dutt and Baba intervened to stop SRK's attack. "I walked out of the party after that. He is taking out his personal frustrations on anyone he comes across."
Angry and upset at the turn of events Shirish isn't taking this lightly. He thunders, "Next time, I challenge him (SRK) to come in front of me to fight. I will give it right back to him. Someone please ask him to stop behaving like an old, spineless faggot. He kept telling me go back to your friend (Salman) and tell him main uski ***** marunga. If he has some problem with that friend of mine, why doesn't he have the guts to confront him?"
Another senior producer pointed that both SRK and Shirish were to be blamed for it. "Shirish had taken digs at RA.One on Twitter, which haven't gone down well with the actor-producer. As for SRK, he has taken potshots at other industry people. So when someone aims jibes at him, he should be just as sporting as he expects others to be," he said not before concluding that this will further spoil things not only between SRK and Farah, but also between SRK and Salman. Now it remains to be seen how Salman reacts to this fight and SRK's message to him through Shirish.
It is learnt that earlier at a party thrown by Ritesh Deshmukh, Shah Rukh instigated Shirish into an argument. But luckily it didn't end up in physical fight.
While SRK still is in denial, Kunder said he has no plans of filing an FIR against him.
