 This is what Mumbai Mirror has to say
What happens when two of the most powerful Khans in Bollywood have a public fight?
Well, before it gets ugly, and reaches the paparazzi, the third Khan steps in to play peacemaker.
At Katrina Kaif's birthday bash at Olive on Wednesday, the who's who of Bollywood was present as also a phalanx of the media. Somewhere in the wee hours, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan got into a huddle.
The three men have, over the last couple of years, forged an unlikely friendship and often visit each other's homes after work.
Sources say that Shah Rukh, never known for his diplomatic skills, started ribbing Salman, and his off-colour joke about Ash and Salman got Sallu's hackles up. And from there on, matters escalated into an ugly spat, resulting in SRK and his wife Gauri leaving the party midway in a huff and Sallu dangerously bad-tempered.
That's when Mr Tactful, Aamir Khan, stepped in to take charge.
He sat Sallu down, talked to him and got him to calm down. Once Salman's temper had cooled off, Aamir took him along with him to SRK's house. There, he played mediator between the other two Khans and got them to at least hear out each other's points of view and shake hands and promise to put the ugly incident behind them.
After which Sallu still had the job of returning to the party and making it up to birthday girl Kat.
This is what Mid-Day has to say
Katrina Kaif's birthday at Olive Bar and Kitchen, Bandra on Wednesday brought out hidden hostilities between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan out in the open.
An eyewitness at the party reveals, "Salman was already high when SRK and Gauri walked in. After downing a few more drinks, Sallu started picking on SRK." Apparently the host was upset with SRK because he turned down Sallu's request to do a guest appearance in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is being produced by Salman and Sohail.
Salman felt snubbed as he has always gone out of his way for SRK, whether it was appearing on KBC with girlfriend Katrina, or dancing for SRK's home production Om Shanti Om. The resentment was bubbling under the surface, and under the influence, Salman dropped the façade and began lashing out at SRK.
Name-calling
The Khans were sitting across each other, surrounded by a few close friends, who quickly moved away when things started getting heated. Shah Rukh, who is famous for his hot temper, didn't react to Salman's outburst initially but when the abuse continued, he began trading insult for insult. The source continues, "Sallu told SRK, 'Your show Paanchvi Paas is a big flop and now you are trying to sabotage my show. You are a matlabi insaan. You only call people when you need them, and then don't keep in touch.'
SRK not one to take name-calling lightly, told Salman, 'No one wants to watch your show, or be friends with you'. At this point, Salman told SRK to keep quiet or he would beat him up."
Shah Rukh, who often describes himself as 'Delhi Ka Goonda' laughed and told Salman, 'Tu kya marega? Tu haath toh utha, main maroonga tujhe. Woh bhi teri party main, aur tere doston ke saamne.' The two men stared at each other and would've come to blows within minutes had Gauri not intervened and told SRK that she wanted to leave. SRK allowed his wife to take his arm and the duo left the party. Salman didn't try to stop them.
Pehla jhagda
Salman and Shah Rukh's first panga goes back a long way when they fought during the shooting of Chalte Chalte (2003) which was being produced by SRK. At that time, Salman was dating Aishwarya Rai who was acting in the film. A high Salman had barged on to Shah Rukh's sets to meet his girl and disrupted the shooting. An upset Shah Rukh replaced Aishwarya with Rani Mukerji. The two Khans stopped speaking to each other.
They patched up at Farah Khan's sangeet on Dec 8, 2004. Salman went up to SRK and hugged him emotionally and a truce was called.
NOTE : God knows what is the truth or media is just doing it for their own gain!!!!
