In 2008, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan had a huge fallout at Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash. According to several reports, during the party, Salman Khan taunted Shah Rukh Khan about his TV show, Kya Aap Panchvi Paas se Tez Hain?, and later accused him of being selfish. Bollywood Hungama quoted him as saying, “You are a matlabi insaan. You only call people when you need them, and then don’t keep in touch.”
He was reportedly miffed at Shah Rukh Khan for refusing to do a cameo in Salman Khan’s Mr and Mrs Khanna even though Salman had appeared in SRK’s Om Shanti Om and even came as a guest at KBC which was then hosted by Shah Rukh.
According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan then made nasty comments about the latter’s TV game show, Dus Ka Dum. After this, Salman reportedly threatened to punch SRK, but Gauri Khan interrupted, saying she wanted to leave, and left the party with her husband.
Shah Rukh later reacted to the infamous feud and said, “I think like a father, while Salman thinks like a child! There is not much in common between us, we think differently, and we speak differently. We have spent a good time together. But with time, that fact has got blurred. We are happy in our worlds. If we come together it is good. If we don’t it’s even better. We are not friends.”
