According to director Shirish Kunder, the below article by Subhash K Jha, are the real facts on the incident.
Disclaimer: This article is sourced from Times of India and does not contain our views on the incident.
It was a fight that had a long history to it. On Sunday night-Monday Morning at the Aurus restaurant in the suburbs of Mumbai,Sanjay Dutt hosted a party to celebrate the success of his Agneepath role and film.
Guests were having a ball when at around 4.30 am Shah Rukh Khan entered the venue straight after the Filmfare awards with three bodyguards. According to eyewitnesses he was apparently in an inebriated condition.
Soon, he headed towards filmmaker Shirish Kunder and roughed him up.
Says an eyewitness, “We didn’t know what was happening. We saw SRK enter. Then we saw him head towards Shirish from behind the director. SRK pulled Shirish down to the ground by his long hair. We were all shocked. We had never seen SRK behave this way before. Before anyone could react Baba Dewan the owner of Aurus ran in and intervened. SRK told Dewan to keep out . Dewan said the place belonged to him and he must intervene. The fight would’ve been prolonged had Sanjay Dutt not pulled SRK away from the ugly scene.”
The shell-shocked Kunder apparently left immediately. We tried to probe the cause for Shah Rukh’s provocation.
Says a source close to Kunder, “Shah Rukh was smarting since Kunder made a sarcastic comment on SRK’s Ra.1 when it released.But the immediate provocation was apparently a comment that Kunder made about SRK and Priyanka Chopra at the party that SRK overheard.But that is hogwash. Kunder didn’t say anything about Priyanka. Why would he? Everyone was there to celebrate a success, not to create ugliness. ”
Kunder and Shah Rukh have a history , of course. Kunder’s wife Farah Khan was one of Shah Rukh’s closest friends. They fell out a year back. Kunder, we believe, faced the brunt of SRK’s pent-up wrath at Dutt’s party.
Farah who was shooting all night for Bela Sehgal’s Shirin Farhah Ki Nikal Padi got to know of the fight only when she returned home in the morning.
Shocked and hurt Farah says, “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.It saddens me to see him doing the same.”
A theory doing the rounds is that Sanjay Dutt too joined Shah Rukh to bash up Shirish Kunder.
Rubbishing this rumour Dutt told me, “I didn’t join in the fight. I sorted out the fight between Shah Rukh and Kunder.”

Many couldn’t believe it to be true as SRK has always been diplomatic and politically correct… We bring to you the complete account of what happened that night…
Around 2:00 a.m., post Filmfare Awards Shahrukh Khan arrives at Sanjay Dutt’s party. After some time the superstar gets in good mood, dances with Sanjay, Manyataa and close friends… Everybody is having a gala time…
Things started getting bad around 3:00 a.m. when Sirish who was in high spirits started commenting on SRK’s arrival, he was heard saying, “I Am Waiting… I am Waiting”.
Shahrukh was ignoring Kunder since his arrival. Even when Sanjay escorted him to meet one of his friends, Kunder followed… He also followed SRK onto the dance floor. SRK kept ignoring him…
Things took a ugly turn after 3:30 a.m. when Shirish followed SRK to the men’s room… At the exit corner when SRK was about to leave. Shirish came in front of him and refused to move… This angered King Khan who lost his cool.
SRK held Sirish by neck and said, “I am warning you that don’t mess with me.” Shirish shot back by saying, “I give a F***(yeah that famous four letter word).”
This got SRK in a wild rage where he pulled Kunder’s hair as he tried to escape, then his tee-shirt and slapped him and pinned him onto a sofa.
SRK was heard saying, “I will destroy you and throw you out of the industry. Aur tere friend ko ja ke bol mein uski maar doonga’. (Tell your friend that I will screw him)..” We all know who the friend is…
Priyanka Chopra came in to intervene but was brushed aside by Shahrukh Khan…
Everybody was witness to the fracas… Sanjay intervened but was in for a surprise when Shirish allegedly forced Sanjay and started moving towards Manyataa… This angered Sanjay who is believed to have given a nice, good slap on the face of Shirish…
SRK then left the party… Shirish has denied any provocations and said he was surprised when SRK came from back and pulled him… Farah was not present at the party but she started sending mass sms to media persons giving Shirish version of the incident.
Whereas insiders have a different story to say…. A source on basis of anonymity even adds that Shirish earlier in the party annoyed producer Inder Kumar by passing comments and misbehaving with his daughter…
Getting drunk and creating a scene is not new for Shirish Kunder, sources claim…. But this time it was SRK who refused to take it any more….
The Shahrukh Khan-Farah Khan 14 years friendship took a severe beating yesterday and has gone down to all time low since 2009 when Farah opted for ‘Tees Maar Khan’ with Akshay and Katrina for his husband Shirish Kunder’s production while SRK was committed to do ‘Happy New Year’ with her…
Shirish tweet on ‘Ra.One’ where he wrote, “I just heard a 150 crore fireworks fizzle” also added fuel to the fire…
Farah and Shirish are reportedly not filing any police complaint in spite of all this…
While SRK has broken his silence over the matter and has been quoted saying, “Shirish was following me, I asked him to leave me alone three times. When I was leaving the venue he came in front of me and refused to move, so I pushed him aside that’s all that happened.”
It is learnt that Salman Khan has asked Shirish to give him the account of details of what really happened that night…. Anyways many from the industry are coming up in support for Shahrukh Khan….

For me there is no bollywood without srk. Love u srk. I think he did the right thing surish kundr deserve this.
IT’s not the true version otherwise why farah khan is so happy that she reconciliat with srk and in mannat srk house????
Farah says this is not only the end of the ugly spat between her husband and Shah Rukh, it is also a new beginning for her and Shah Rukh. “I really liked what he said. He made us promise to wipe out all the bitterness of the last two years and start afresh. I feel like a big burden is off my back.” she wait sooooo long to come back with king
some ppl would do anything nowadays for fame, success.. I think this Shirish (meant) to abuse Shahrukh by his comment on twitter ( poor guy.. noone respect him as a director and wants to create a name for himself.. to be recognized by the media.. so that was the only way.. to say something against the king of bollywood so his name would be mentioned in the news and everywhere!!) and God knows.. probably he said many things against Shahrukh..there4 Shahrukh couldn’t control himself but to beat him and slap him.
Good what shahrukh did.. now who dares to say anything against him.. watchout guys..all of u haters.. Shahrukh will kill u if u posted any negative comment..haha!!!
We should boycott the next King Kong movie….sorry, I mean the next King Khan movie
