Why did Shahrukh slap Shirish, Farah Khan's Husband ?

Shah Rukh Khan allegedly slapped Farah Khan’s husband Shirish at the Agneepath success party hosted by Sanjay Dutt. The reason for the slap is possibly due to Shrish running down Khan’s films on Twitter. Source say that after SRK had turned down Jaaneman and then Tees Maar Khan and even Joker, things soured between him and Farah-Shirish.



Shirish had even tweeted about Rs. 150 crore cracker (Ra One) going in smoke. So, on January 29, 2012, Shah Rukh Khan reacted to Shirish not verbally but physically. SRK is said to have slapped and punched Shirish and also commented on his equation with Salman Khan.

An industry source on the basis of anonymity says, “It was past 3:30 am and Shirish was talking ill about some films, particularly Ra. One when Shah Rukh overheard him. Not pleased with the negative remark he made, SRK confronted him and matters turned ugly, till Shah Rukh hit and punched him. Shah Rukh Khan even said that he’d teach Salman a lesson. “

Baba Dewan, a common friend of Salman and Sanjay Dutt tried to reason with Shah Rukh and seeing this Sanjay Dutt too rushed to the spot to break up the fight. The entire incident happened at around 3 30 am on Sunday morning. Shirish was seen walking out with his face covered, as his face had been badly swollen.
The source says, “The party ended abruptly. After Shirish left, Sanjay, SRK, Baba Dewan and their friends too left the venue.”

Shirish says he had no idea that Shah Rukh had walked in, he dragged him by his hair and pushed him to the couch and began raining blows. He says, “ "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."

Shirish does not know why Shah Rukh reacted in this manner. "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."

Shirish says that he is not going to take this lightly. "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 man. He kept telling me go back to your friend and tell him main uski ga*nd marunga. If he has some problem with that friend of mine, why doesn't he have the guts to confront him?"

Shah Rukh’s friend says, "Shirish was talking ill about RA.One and kept talking about Salman, which infuriated Shah Rukh. SRK and Sanju asked him to shut up, but he kept talking. So SRK punched him."
A producer says that both Shah Rukh and Shirish are at fault. "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. 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.”

There are reports that Shirish Kunder was drunk and kept on provoking him. He even followed SRK to the loo and began to take digs on him. This enraged Shah Rukh who pinned him to the sofa and allegedly hit him.

It is believed that Sanjay Dutt also slapped Shirish Kunder for sending dirty messages to his wife Maanyata and misbehaving with a girl at the same party.

Farah Khan is obviously not in a good mood “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 Khan also SMSed reporters: "Shahrukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way 2 sort out a problem, n that its means the person who's hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on, n it saddens me 2 see him doing the same (sic)."
