Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan allegedly assaulted former close friend Farah Khan’s husband and filmmaker Shirish Kunder at a party thrown by actor Sanjay Dutt on Sunday, Indian newspaper The Hindustan Times reported.

The argument apparently started when Khan confronted Kunder about his remarks on Khan’s movie RA.One, which the superstar had also produced. During RA.One’s release, Kunder had tweeted: “I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.”

When things got out of hand, Dutt had to intervene to stop the brawl. Later, Dutt and another guest Sameer Arya reportedly escorted Khan out.

Filmmaker Farah Khan confirmed the incident. “Shirish, my husband, was beaten up by Shah Rukh and his three bodyguards at 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,” the choreographer-director told Headlines Today.

Farah also SMSed reporters: “Shah Rukh 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, and it saddens me to see him doing the same (sic).”
