If eyewitnesses are to be believed, while Shirish was already enjoying the party, gulping down a couple of drinks, SRK walked in pretty late. Seeing Shahrukh, Kunder started following him everywhere, passing stupid comments at the actor.
Naturally SRK got irritated and apparently pushed Kunder on a sofa, first trying to talk to him. But when Shirish continued to retort back. That’s when Shahrukh lost his cool and slapped him.
Shirish Kunder is reported to have said: “Shahrukh 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 Kunder’s wife, Farah Khan, who was SRK’s once upon a time good friend, said in a statement,
“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. So it saddens me to see him doing the same.”
Buzz had it hat, Shirish Kunder also filed a police complaint against Shahrukh Khan. However, denying the reports Shirish said,
“Thanks for all your concern & wishes. We are very grateful. Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing a FIR or police complaint,” Shirish Kunder wrote on his Twitter page.
Shahrukh Khan, however, chose not to comment on this episode.
