More on the Shah Rukh Khan-Shirish Kunder fight...
If sources are to be believed, Shirish Kunder has extended the olive branch to Shah Rukh Khan. Yes, Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder made their way to Shah Rukh Khan's residence, Mannat, this evening and Shirish we hear said 'Sorry' to SRK!
It was Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala who played mediator and peace-maker, and made the two parties kiss and make up.
Shah Rukh Khan, we hear, was in a rather forgiving mood, and simply went ahead and hugged Farah and Shirish. Farah, too, said she was sorry, or so we hear.
Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan have been good friends for far too long and it's not easy for one to remain angry on the other for a long time.
So all's well that ends well, we guess.

Breaking news: Shah Rukh-Farah Khan hug after slapping incident
Director Farah Khan's brother Sajid has reportedly brokered peace between his sister and superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
Khan, who has been accused of beating Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt's party, today termed the allegations a "Shakespearean farce."
In a telephonic conversation with news channel CNN-IBN, Sajid said that he brought the two warring parties together in order to resolve the conflict. He said that Farah and Shah Rukh have been friends for 20 years and he wanted them to get rid of the negative air around.
"There were hugs and tears when Farah, I And Shirish went to Mannat to resolve the issue," said Sajid.
He also mentioned that Shah Rukh had been one of the three witnesses when Farah married Kunder and that he was family.
Details are awaited.Source: http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_breaking-news-shah-rukh-farah-khan-patch-up-after-slapping-incident_1644333

SRK slaps ex-friend Farah Khan’s husband
The clash between two Bollywood celebrities took on a violent note early Monday morning, when actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan allegedly came to blows with director Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt's party at a popular nightclub in Juhu, which was attended by A-listers.
After being stalked by Kunder right through the party, Khan, as he was about to leave, lost his cool and allegedly pinned him onto a sofa and slapped him. Although Farah spent the better part of Monday railing against her former 'best friend' SRK for slapping her husband and attacking him for "no reason", she and Kunder will not be approaching the police.
Kunder on Monday evening tweeted: "We have no intention of filing an FIR or a police complaint." Both Dutt, who had attempted to separate the two, and SRK are maintaining a stony silence.
The incident took place around 4.15am on Monday at a party hosted in Dutt's honour by the owner of the nightclub following Sunday's Filmfare Awards. Eyewitnesses give conflicting accounts of the nature of the scuffle: some say the duo came to blows, others say the actor simply slapped Kunder.
Shah Rukh arrived at Dutt's party around 3.15am. A few minutes into the party, the superstar hit the dance floor and began dancing with Dutt, his wife Manyata and a group of friends. He was in a good mood, and even posed for pictures. Kunder didn't provoke SRK, says Farah
An eyewitness present at the party said, "Shirish Kunder kept hovering around Shah Rukh and followed him onto the dance floor, but the actor simply ignored him." The relationship between the two was at an all-time low after Kunder had criticized SRK's recent film 'Ra One' on a microblogging site. He had posted an insulting, 'I just heard a Rs150 crore firework fizzle' remark online.
"Khan refused to acknowledge Kunder at the party. Even when Dutt escorted SRK outside the venue to introduce him to a close friend, Kunder unabashedly followed them," said an eyewitness. "Kunder placed himself right behind SRK and murmured something into his ear." It was the proverbial straw that broke the camel, or in this case, Khan's back. "An annoyed SRK, who was actually preparing to leave the party, turned around, held Kunder by the scruff of the neck, and forced him to sit on a sofa near the nightclub's exit," said the guest.
After a heated exchange of words, SRK slapped Kunder. Dutt, who was aware of the acrimonious relationship between the two, rushed to defuse the situation and pulled them apart. Here eyewitness accounts differ with many claiming that Dutt allegedly responded in kind when Kunder pushed him roughly.
Farah, who had not attended the party, maintained that her husband did nothing to provoke SRK. She said, "Those who were present told me that the attack was completely unprovoked. Shirish didn't even know that Shah Rukh was at the party."
In a mass sms sent to the media, Farah said: "Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem. It means the attacker has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same." This is not the first time that Kunder has taken a swipe at SRK. At another Bollywood party, Kunder had criticized Ra One, sources told TOI.
The party quickly wrapped up after the fracas: Dutt and his wife Manyata left in one car, while builder and owner of the club Baba Dewan and SRK left in another vehicle.
The party had been hosted by Dewan for Dutt following the success of the latter's latest release Agneepath. Some of the stars who attended the party included Priyanka Chopra, Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan.

But Farah was keen on launching her own production house and announced her first home production 'Tees Maar Khan' with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in 2009.

Shah Rukh Khan assaults film-maker Shirish Kunder
Shah Rukh Khan is said to have punched and slapped film-maker Shirish Kunder last night. Read on for juicy details...
Those who're following Shirish Kunder on the popular micro-blogging site would opine that his tweets against RA.One would irk Shah Rukh Khan.
At the same time, those who disagree would be quick to point out that if the actor can take digs at others, then he should have a sense of humour to accept jibes directed at him too.
In the early hours of Sunday, the actor-producer retaliated to the director's remarks, not verbally, but physically. Yes, it is learnt that SRK slapped and punched Shirish and also commented on the latter's friendship with his arch rival and foe, Salman Khan.

After Karan Johar's press meet on Friday and Hrithik Roshan's party on Saturday, Sanjay Dutt hosted a bash at a popular Juhu nightspot to celebrate his success in the recently released Agneepath.
The actor, who's earned rave reviews for his portrayal of the menacing Kancha Cheena in the Karan Malhotra directorial, surely didn't anticipate that it would turn into a battlefield between SRK and Shirish, both of whom he had invited.
A well-placed industry source tells us that it was past 3:30 am and Shirish was talking to someone about films, particularly RA.One when SRK sauntered in and overheard him.
"Not pleased to hear anything negative about his movies, Shah Rukh confronted Shirish and started hitting him. At the same time, he also said something about Salman being his (Kunder's) friend and that he'd teach him (Salman) a lesson too," recalls our source.
Apparently, Baba Diwan, who's Sanjay and Salman's good friend didn't take this comment kindly and tried to reason with SRK. "Seeing Baba Dewan intervene, Sanju too rushed towards them to break up the fight," says our source, adding that soon afterwards, at about 4 am, Shirish walked out, covering his face which had begun to swell as he had been badly hit. Incidentally, neither Shirish's wife Farah nor SRK's wife Gauri attended this party.
"A brief while after Shirish left, the party ended with Sanjay, SRK, Baba Dewan and their friends too leaving the venue," sums up our informer.
On her part, Farah maintained, "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."
When contacted, Shirish said that he didn't even know when SRK walked in. Recollecting being dragged by the hair and pushed on the couch, he 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."
Asserting that he didn't know what instigated SRK into attacking him, Shirish stated, "I was totally unprepared for this kind of an attack. If I was standing in some area where I would expect some goondaism, I would have been better prepared. But this is a classy party. Who would expect someone to jump on your from behind?" The director adds that Dutt and Baba intervened to stop SRK's attack. "I walked out of the party after that. He is taking out his personal frustrations on anyone he comes across."
Angry and upset at the turn of events Shirish isn't taking this lightly. He thunders, "Next time, I challenge him (SRK) to come in front of me to fight. I will give it right back to him. Someone please ask him to stop behaving like an old, spineless faggot. He kept telling me go back to your friend and tell him main uski ***** marunga. If he has some problem with that friend of mine, why doesn't he have the guts to confront him?"
We tried contacting SRK for his side of the story, but he didn't respond to our text message. However, a friend of the actor-producer said, "Shirish was talking ill about RA.One and kept talking about Salman, which infuriated Shah Rukh. SRK and Sanju asked him to shut up, but he kept talking. So SRK punched him."
Another senior producer pointed that both SRK and Shirish were to be blamed for it. "Shirish had taken digs at RA.One on Twitter, which haven't gone down well with the actor-producer. As for SRK, he has taken potshots at other industry people. So when someone aims jibes at him, he should be just as sporting as he expects others to be," he said not before concluding that this will further spoil things not only between SRK and Farah, but also between SRK and Salman. Now it remains to be seen how Salman reacts to this fight and SRK's message to him through Shirish.
It is learnt that earlier at a party thrown by Ritesh Deshmukh, Shah Rukh instigated Shirish into an argument. But luckily it didn't end up in physical fight.

Shah Rukh Khan's scuffle with Farah Khan's husband
If sources are to be believed, last evening, Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder had a war of words which escalated into a brawl.
It's a known fact that Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan who were once the best friends in industry have gone different ways. Though they never spoke about it, Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder seems to have much to do with the divide. And when Khan and Kunder crossed paths at a recent event, there were more than fireworks on display.
Last evening after Filmfare Awards, Shah Rukh Khan headed straight to Sanjay Dutt's party where there were celebrating the success of Agneepath and the popularity of new-age Kancha Cheena in particular. There Shah Rukh stumbled upon Shirish Kunder and Farah Khan.
Sources at the party claim that SRK confronted Shirish Kunder about the constant digs he had been taking on Shah Rukh's superhero film Ra.One on social networking sites. The war of words escalated into a physical brawl and finally host Sanjay Dutt had to intervene to get them apart.
Farah Khan directed Shah Rukh Khan in two of his home productions - Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), both of which turned out to be superhits. Shirish Kunder edited both the films.

Sources at the party claim that SRK confronted Shirish Kunder about the constant digs he had been taking on Shah Rukh's superhero film Ra.One on social networking sites. The war of words escalated into a physical brawl and finally host Sanjay Dutt had to intervene to get them apart.
Farah Khan directed Shah Rukh Khan in two of his home productions - Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), both of which turned out to be superhits. Shirish Kunder edited both the films.

SRK slapped my husband in Sanjay Dutt's party: Farah Khan
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan allegedly beat up filmmaker Shirish Kunder at a party hosted by actor Sanjay Dutt on Sunday.
In a telephonic conversation with Headlines Today, the editor-turned-filmmaker's choreographer-cum-director wife Farah Khan confirmed the incident and said three of SRK's bodyguards joined the superstar in thrashing her husband.
"Shirish, my husband, was beaten up by Shah Rukh and his three bodyguards in 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," Farah told Headlines Today.
