Khan vs. Kunder: What was the story?

While the tinsel town is quite taken aback ever since the reports of clash between Shahrukh Khan and former best friend Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder surfaced, the former has termed the incident 'ironical'.

Ever so pleasing King Khan maintaining his dignity and diplomatic style posted on his twitter account, "Another long nite. Shooting for a public service msg film about education peace & harmony. Feels ironic when I read & see wot is being said."

At the same time, Shirish Kunder, an editor and a filmmaker, rubbished all speculations about his intention to file a police report.

He too posted on his twitter account, "Thanks for all your concern & wishes. We are very grateful. Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing a FIR or police complaint."

Reportedly, the brawl between the two sparked off at actor Sanjay Dutt's bash at a popular night club in Mumbai to celebrate the success of his recent film 'Agneepath'.

While there are different versions of the story floating, it is believed that Kunder was following Khan making spiteful comments ever since the latter reached the venue post Filmfare awards.

Even when Shahrukh tried to exit, Shirish stood in front refusing to step aside. This is when the former got really irritated and pushed him aside. Dutt stood by Shahrukh's side during the whole drama.

Apparently, on the other hand, Shirish claims that he was assaulted and Khan attacked him from behind, pulled his hair and slapped.

Amidst the whole hullabaloo, Farah Khan told news channels that Shah Rukh has always told her that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem and it means that the person who is hitting has either a professional or personal crisis going on adding, it saddens her to see him doing this.

The animosity between the once best friends started when Farah Khan decided to rope in Akhshay Kumar for her movie 'Tees Maar Khan'. Adding on to this was the nasty posts by her husband about SRK's Rao.One on social networking sites.
