Farah Khan: Shah Rukh beat up my husband at Sanjay Dutt’s party

It is being said that SRK and his three bodyguards attacked Shirish Kunder over a tweet

Clearly, we now know Bollywood looks into its own backyard for inspiration to churn out potboilers like clockwork.

With a plotline that’s fit for a box office winner, superstar Shah Rukh Khan takes the lead with accusations flying that he slapped one-time friend and choreographer/director Farah Khan’s husband at a party last evening.

And this is not just any party, mind you, but that of actor Sanjay Dutt, who has been celebrating of late for the success of his film “Agneepath”.

Farah’s husband, Shrish Kunder (who is also a film director), has kept mum on the subject so far, as has Shah Rukh himself. But the feisty Farah spilled the beans to Indian media outlet, Headlines Today, saying: “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.”

Back in October, Kunder had tweeted about Shah Rukh Khan’s “Ra.One”, saying: “I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.”

The film in question was rumoured to have a budget of Rs1.5 billion.

Farah Khan also texted reporters according to Hindustan Times, saying: “Shahrukh 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. It saddens me to see him doing the same (sic).”

It is being said that Dutt had to intervene and finally escorted Shah Rukh out.

The Twitter world erupted as soon as news broke, with news sites and fans wondering what the fuss was all about. It wasn’t long before, both Farah Khan and Shrish Kunder were trending on the Indian microblogging site, with rumours flying over what really happened.

Shiv Aroor said online: “It was over a tweet! @iamsrk thrashes @thefarahkhan’s husband @shirishkunder for tweeting something derisive against SRK. #HeadlinesToday [sic].”

However, Ankit Sawant tweeted another tale, saying: “So @IBNLiveRealtime claims that @iamsrk and #SanjayDutt both slapped #ShirishKunder and he also misbehaved with a girl and Manyata (Dutt’s wife).”

But most didn’t seem to care about the drama, preferring to use this moment to throw in some tongue‘n’cheek comments, with MTV India leading the way.
The music and entertainment channel tweeted: “Dear Shirish Kunder, Kha.One [eat one: a play on SRK’s film, “Ra.One”] Regards, Shah Rukh Khan.”

Another tweet followed by the channel, saying: “Shah Rukh Khan finally has the biggest 'hit' of 2012 thanks to Shirish Kunder. #Tamacha [slap].”

Bollywood Gandu tweeted: “So many people are happy that @iamsrk slapped @ShirishKunder. It's wrong. We should never condone violence against women.”
Meanwhile, Chamatkari Patrakar said: “Apparently @ShirishKunder was beaten up by @iamsrk and his 3 guards at Sanju Baba’s party. Looks like he is still frustrated about Ra-One.”

Looks like the Farah-Shah Rukh war will continue in 2012 for now.

Shah Rukh Khan -‘Telephones have numbers, not actors’

Why Shah Rukh Khan is not part of the numbers game in Bollywood

Shah Rukh Khan, who bagged two awards at the Screen awards recently, is happy not only for himself but also for his kids.

“It feels nice to win awards. There is a sense of competition with my kids because they win prizes for racing, taekwondo, riding etc. So I’ll go home and show my kids that even I have won two awards,” the 46-year-old actor said.

Khan bagged popular choice best actor for Don 2: The King Is Back and best jodi award for his pairing with Priyanka Chopra.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh had two releases this year and both the films - Ra.One and Don 2 - crossed the Rs100 crore mark at the box office.

He says he does not work for money and added: “I understand the rupees and crores less and you understand it even lesser. Please don’t ask me questions on crores and stuff like that. I have been working hard for 20 years and only work to make the public happy.

“Hopefully, this year too I’ll work with the same motive and not count numbers. Telephones have numbers and not actors (or) producers.”

SRK is currently working in Yash Chopra’s next untitled film with Katrina Kaif. He is also co-producing Student Of the Year with Karan Johar.

Shahrukh khan and Ranbir Kapoor, Anchors for the 57th Filmfare

The most awaited award event of Bollywood, the film Magazine ‘Filmfare’ has announced the award function of 2012.

Bollywood’s Badshah Shahrukh Khan and hearthrob Ranbir kapoor have been paired together to host the 57th Idea Filmfare awards 2011 this year.

Filmfare which dates back to 1954 is well known for its sheer star presence and long-standing association with the Hindi Cinema.

Bollywood’s Filmfare is compared to Hollywood’s Oscar. To be nominated and win an award means you are on the top of the world they say.

The hosts of the show amuse the audiences with their mad antics. It was Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan who took the charge on their shoulders. Later on, the charge was given to younger shoulders of Ranbir Kapoor and Imraan Khan who were perfect in their work.

57th Idea filmfare award function will happen on 29th January at the Film City, Mumbai for which Shahrukh and Ranbir have been zeroed in as hosts.

A member of the filmfare magazine said: “Yes Shahrukh and Ranbir will be hosting filmfare this year. The script etc. has not been finalized as yet”.

Shah Rukh Khan: I wish I had made RA.One better

Shah Rukh Khan, who says marketing has become an indispensable part of filmmaking, used the best marketing strategy to promote his RA.One, but feels he could have made the movie in a better way.

"I think it's very, very important to get into merchandising, to get into gaming and be on the net... we cannot negate that any more, whatever the level of film you are making," said Khan.

SRK associated with over 50 brands for the mega-production. However, he received mixed reaction for the movie.

"It's very important because a film like RA.One lends itself a little more, it's for children, it's superhero and stuff. I wish I had made it a little better, because people started jumping on my back, saying, ‘You marketed it so much, and made a film like this.' So, I got a little waylaid on that," he added.

Big fat Dubai wedding: Bollywood stars and Pervez Musharraf

Was it only a simple year-end vacation that drew many Bollywood celebrities to Dubai last week or they did they have some business planned with pleasure?

The Bollywood stars had plans of attending a high profile event when they flew down to Dubai. However, this plan remained by and large under the wraps.

Some of the B-town's biggest stars made a beeline for the city when the year drew to an end - from the badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan to the ruler of hearts Hrithik Roshan.

Shah Rukh was accompanied by wife Gauri and the kids and they all decided to ring in the New Year in their Palm Jumeirah villa.

Hrithik and Sussane Roshan, along with Arjun and Mehr Jessica Rampal and their kids also joined the Khans in their festivities.

But Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal and Hrithik Roshan also attended a high-profile wedding on December 30 during their stay here in Dubai.

They made special appearance at the wedding of Pakistan media mogul Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman's daughter, who tied the knot with the son of an investment banker who has made inroads into the media business. And the grand event happened in Dubai.

Atlantis Hotel was the main venue for the wedding reception where stars and famous personalities had gathered. But the icing on the wedding cake was when Shah Rukh Khan walked in with Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Arjun Rampal.

Just before SRK walked in another VVIP, former Pakistan President Musharraf, had been lapping all the limelight.

But King Khan's entry saw the spot light shift and the guests went hysterical. The stage nearly collapsed under the onslaught of fans and the screams of joy could be heard a mile away and beyond.

An eyewitness told Emirates 24|7 that an announcement was soon made that the screams were from SRK’s admirers from Lahore and Karachi to which the SRK quipped, “And I am a Muslim from Peshawar!” More screams of joy and enthusiasm were heard when SRK spoke to the guests.

Reportedly the Rahmans also wanted Katrina Kaif to attend the wedding but failed to convince her. Katrina has been holidaying with her family in London.

Earlier, on December 27, at one of the pre-wedding functions, the family and friends were joined by Bollywood’s Sonu Nigam on karaoke.

On December 28, at the 'Mehndi' ceremony, guests were entertained by five well-known Bollywood singers including Sonu Nigam, Udit Naryan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Sadhna Sargam, while Shaan made a special appearance.

With the wedding season on in full gusto, the stars are in high demand. High-profile weddings leave no stone unturned to have celebrity presence and the stars oblige as well since they get paid handsomely for simply greeting and meeting the wedding crowd.

Wedding coordinators refused to comment when asked about the compensation the stars receive when they make such special appearances.

However, it cannot be denied that it is a win-win situation all the way for the stars.
