Truce after SRK-Gauri meet Farah-Shirish

New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan- Gauri and Shrish Kunder-Farah Khan met at SRK's home Mannat today. 

Farah Khan confirmed that Shirishand she met Gauri-SRK today and her brother Sajid Khan was the peace broker.

Sajid says that he decided to take matters into his own hands when it made the headlines in national newspapers rather than in gossip sections. He said, "they all had masala dosa together which Gauri prepared."

Farah says that even Shirish has made his peace with this, after all its a 20 year friendship at stake and she also mentioned that it was a family affair and not a publicity stunt.

A few hours ago, Shah Rukh Khan had posted a new cryptic message on Twitter, hinting that he has been needlessly dragged into the "Slapgate" drama.  

"Reading stuff and watching tv...Feel like I am the source & author of a Shakespearean farce...without the poetry  or the prose of course!!!," he posted.

Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly involved in a brawl with ace choreographer-turned director Farah Khan's husband, Shirish Kunder, in the early hours of Monday morning at a party.

In an earlier tweet last night, SRK indirectly referred to the controversy. "Another long nite. Shooting for a public service msg film about education peace & harmony. Feels ironic when I read & see wot is being said," he posted.

As news of the brawl spread, #slapgate, #shirishkunder #srk #replaceSRKMoviesWithSlap and a barrage of humourous tweets swamped Twitter, even leading to a response from Shirish Kunder.  "Some of your jokes on the incident were very funny. Including the ones on me. Keep up the humour. I'll be back soon," he posted.

The fracas took place at the party to celebrate the success of new release Agneepath, starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.  A slew of Bollywood stars headed for the party held at the swanky Aurus nightclub in Juhu, right after the 57th Filmfare Awards show.

Shirish Kunder reportedly left the party with a swollen face. The party also came to an end and Dutt and SRK left with the owner of the nightclub soon after.

With the incident picking up heat,  a jittery Kunder said: "Everyone knows what really happened at the party; it isn't a hidden fact at all. Of course it was ugly and I was quite shaken up with what happened. When someone attacks you from behind and comes prepared with a set of bodyguards to protect his own self, you don't really have a choice, do you? "All I feel is that if at all there was so much pent up anger in him, he could have gone verbal. Getting physical hasn't reflected well on either of us."

"Frankly, this is hardly the kind of attention that I want. In fact I am wary of any kind of attention, be it for something as wrong as this which was completely unprovoked or even something good for which I may have been responsible. I like to keep a low profile and Sunday's late night party was one of those rare instances when I actually attended a gathering," Kunder said.

Farah too spoke about the incident in a statement but denied they were going to pursue the matter with police.

"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. So it saddens me to see him doing the same," Farah said in a statement.

Kunder had earlier taken to his Twitter account to say: "Thanks for all your concern & wishes. We are very grateful. Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing a FIR or police complaint."

Dutt, who was also present when the incident happened, denied reports that he was also involved in the fight, saying he only tried to break up the fight.

"When a fight takes place so everybody who is around is blamed. Sanjay entered to stop the fight. He had no fight or anything of that sort with Shirish," Dutt's spokesperson told PTI.

While there was a time when Farah Khan couldn't think of working with anyone else but SRK, 2010 changed the bonhomie to bitterness between the two. Farah picked Akshay Kumar over SRK for Tees Maar Khan, reportedly because she didn't want people to think that she made films only for SRK.

Post that, Farah Khan tried to make amends with SRK, even hugging him on a TV dance reality show, but Shirish Kunder took potshots at SRK on Twitter after the release of SRK's sci-fi flick, Ra. One. He tweeted, "The super hero in Ra One has all the powers in the world, but to entertain." Going a step further, Shirish called it a flop. The filmmaker wrote, "I just heard a 150 cr firework fizzle."

He went on to compare the business of Ra.One with collection of Salman Khan's blockbuster flick, Bodyguard on the first day. The filmmaker tweeted, "Bodyguard is trending. Everything else is pending."

Shirish Kunder too was once close to SRK and he has worked as editor for his hit movies like Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. But their friendship reportedly fell through when SRK turned down Joker, Shirish's new film.

Kunder is reported to have said, "Shah Rukh 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."

The other celebrities present at the party, however, have come out in support of King Khan, saying Kunder had it coming.

"Shah Rukh is supr rockin.. Good he gave it 2 shirish. people shud learn 2 b grateful to king khan, afterall he has been so supportive 2 farah. Glad@iamsrk told shirish off n put him in place. SRK has done so much 4 farah. they shud b grateful n not abusing srk (sic)," Ameesha Patel tweeted.

"I was present at Sanju's party & Without Any Bias I Fully Support Shah Rukh (sic)," celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani tweeted.  (With PTI inputs)
