Salman is surprised find himself being dragged in SRK-Shirish fight

Salman Khan is mighty surprised to find himself being dragged in the Shah Rukh-Shirish brawl.

Apparently, Salman, who is shooting in Cuba, wasn’t even aware of the incident when it was being reportedly said that he called Shirish to show his support after Shah Rukh bashed him in Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Agneepath’ success party.

Talking to a daily, a source said, “It’s really strange how bhai’s name has gotten dragged into this. He hasn`t called anyone. Salman doesn`t even have network where he shoots. We haven`t been speaking to him often also. He wasn`t even aware of the fight... how can he call Shirish to offer support? When we called the newspaper to check about their source, we were told that Shirish told them about Salman`s call to him. But shouldn`t they have checked with him or someone from his side? Salim uncle is very upset about Salman`s name being used in this fight.”

When contacted, Salman said, “I am filming in Cuba. I am not using my phone here. I haven`t called anyone and no one has called me. If you are printing this also say hello to my mom and dad.”

Salman Khan: I haven’t called anyone

Salman Khan clarifies that he did not speak to Shirish Kunder after the latter's fight with SRK
On Tuesday, a media report claimed that a concerned Salman Khan, who is shooting in Cuba, called Shirish Kunder to show his support after SRK bashed him. That night Salman heard about his so-called concern for the film director. What's surprising is that, he was clueless about the whole fight at Dutt's party. He wasn't happy about being dragged into a fight between two people, especially because he wasn't at the party. And not even in the country!

Says a source close to the family, "It's really strange how bhai's name has gotten dragged into this. He hasn't called anyone. Salman doesn't even have network where he shoots. We haven't been speaking to him often also. He wasn't even aware of the fight... how can he call Shirish to offer support? When we called the newspaper to check about their source, we were told that Shirish told them about Salman's call to him. But shouldn't they have checked with him or someone from his side? Salim uncle is very upset about Salman's name being used in this fight."

BT tried contacting Salman but his phone was not reachable. Finally we managed to reach his manager Reshma Shetty who is also in Cuba. The line was bad and got disconnected a few times before we got through. She asked us to call later and put the actor on line. He said, "I am filming in Cuba. I am not using my phone here. I haven't called anyone and no one has called me.

Shah Rukh: Slapgate reportage affecting my kids

Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan Wednesday refused to categorically state whether he had slapped Shirish Kunder or not but said the reportage on the incident was affecting his kids.

"Lots of things are being said about my life in news channels but the stuff which you put up in the channels are not the whole truth. This is embarrassing at times as I have a 14-year-old son and an 11-and-a-half year old daughter," said Shah Rukh, who was in the city to address a programme.

The Bollywood badshah felt it was embarrassing for a father to explain certain issues to his children.

"Every morning it becomes very difficult to explain to your children and it becomes embarrassing as a father, as a brother or as elder son of the family to explain about what is stated," he told reporters.

Shah Rukh reportedly roughed up editor-filmmaker Shirish, the husband of his former friend Farah Khan, in the wee hours of Monday during Sanjay Dutt`s success party for ‘Agneepath’.

"Bollywood stories are presented in a larger than life way... I have read the headlines. Yeah, some of them have not happened and some of them might have happened, but I would like to keep it to myself," he remarked.

Describing Farah as a very old friend, Shah Rukh regretted the reports that have been published about his differences with her.

"I have heard things that have been stated about us and it`s very difficult for people to sit down and read things in the house. In our house, the kids call her Farah aunty. It`s really sad when for last two years people say she said this and that... None of that is happening," he said.

However, he sounded hopeful of settling the differences.

"We can resolve our issues... certain issues we can resolve with hugs and happiness and I want to keep it personal," he said.

SRK slaps Director Kunder Farah Khan’s husband

Shah Rukh Khan’s act of slapping and abusing director Shirish Kunder, Farah Khan’s husband, might be due to a “personal or professional crisis” – according to Farah Khan.

“Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem and it means the person who is hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same,” said Farah Khan, reacting to the incident.

Speculations run unleashed yet again as to what kind of ‘personal crisis’ can King Khan be going through. Of late, SRK has been incessantly linked with ‘Don 2’ co-star Priyanka Chopra and reports of an alleged affair between the two have been doing the rounds of media and mouths of people.

Shah Rukh and Farah have been good friends for a long time. But their friendship had deteriorated when SRK had refused to act in Kunder’s film, ‘Joker’. And now the fight that took place between Farah’s husband and Shah Rukh might act as the last nail in the coffin for the friendship of the two. The ‘Agneepath’ success party turned a nasty shade when SRK beat up Shirish Kunder, and the latter left the venue with a covered face.

There were numerous rumours about Farah and Kunder willing to file an FIR against Shah Rukh Khan, but from what Kunder has said, he has no intentions of doing the same. In a tweet, the director has said, “Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing an FIR or a Police Complaint.”

Also, talking to a leading daily, the director has said that he is yet to receive any apology from Shah Rukh Khan. “I have not got any call from Shah Rukh as of now,” said Shirish.

The entire fiasco that happened at the ‘Agneepath’ success party is due to Kunder’s tweets on ‘Ra.One’ that had offended Shah Rukh a bit too much. After a heated exchange between the two, Shah Rukh resorted to blows and slaps, thereby giving rise to fresh rumours. Farah’s decision to not file an FIR and remarks about the actor going through some sort of ‘personal crisis’ is now the rallying point of new speculations.

For Farah, forget and forgive seems to be the way to act. For Shah Rukh, forgetting Kunder’s tweets about ‘Ra.One’ turned out to be a difficult task. And for now, no FIRs against King Khan. Perhaps it is the calm before the storm, or perhaps the storm has settled down. Wait and watch seems to be the way to act for the rest of us!
