Shahrukh-Salman pick up fight at Katrina’s b’day party

The façade of friendship and amiable relations between Shah Rukh and Salman slipped at Katrina Kaif's birthday party on July 16 and what came out in the open was hidden hostilities and unhealthy rivalry between the two super stars. Eyewitnesses reveal that the verbal duel between the duo got so heated up that they almost became physical and on the verge of punching each other. Salman had thrown a lavish birthday party for girlfriend Katrina at Olive Bar and Kitchen, Bandra, in which all the bigwigs of filmdom were invited. According to a newspaper, "Salman was already high when SRK and Gauri walked in. After downing a few more drinks, Sallu started picking on SRK." Shah Rukh had reportedly turned down Salman's request to do a guest appearance in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is being produced by Salman and Sohail. This did not go well with Salman, who had gone out of his way to do favours for King Khan. Sallu had made a special appearance in SRK's home production 'Om Shanti Om' and also appeared on KBC with girlfriend Katrina.

Salman was miffed by SRK's attitude and chose to express his resentment at the wrong time. The two Khans were sitting close, surrounded by a few close friends, when Salman started passing sarcastic remarks at SRK. Initially, SRK tried to laugh it off but when the remarks became too abusive, he began trading insult for insult.Salman adversely commented at SRK's show Paanchvi Paas, calling it a big flop. The star added that SRK is trying to sabotage his show – Dus ka Dum. "You are a matlabi insaan. You only call people when you need them, and then don't keep in touch," Sallu added. SRK reacted strongly saying that no one wants to watch Salman's show. At this, Salman asked him to keep quiet or he would beat him up.

This made King Khan very aggressive and he said that he would beat Salman in his party, in front of his friends. The two glared at each other and things would have turned ugly had Shahrukh's wife Gauri Khan not intervened. She expressed her wish to leave immediately. SRK allowed his wife to take his arm and they left the party. Salman didn't even try to stop his guests. SRK-Sallu rivalry dates back to the time, when SRK was shooting for Chalte Chalte (2003), with Aishwarya. At that time, Salman was dating Aishwarya Rai. The duo had a fight when Salman disrupted the shooting to meet Ash and this made SRK replace Ash with Rani Mukerjee. The two were not on talking terms for long and patched up only at Farah Khan's sangeet ceremony in 2004. The ugly face-off between the two super stars shows that things may look smooth in the forefront but things are not always smooth beneath the surface in big bad Bollywood!

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
