Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has been accused of slapping Farah Khan’s husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt’s party, termed the allegations as a “Shakespearean farce.” Khan, who has been relatively silent on Sunday’s incident at a nightclub, wrote a cryptic message to his Twitter followers, indicating his name has been needlessly dragged into the drama. Kunder, Farah Khan’s husband, has accused the superstar of beating him up at the party. “Reading stuff and watching tv...Feel like I am the source & author of a Shakespearean farce...without the poetry or the prose of course!!!,” SRK tweeted on Tuesday without giving any details of his version on what happened. According to Kunder, King Khan punched and slapped him. Kunder has been taking potshots at the actor and his mega budget film 'Ra.One', calling it a “150 cr firework fizzle”.
Farah came out with a statement saying she was saddened to see her former friend resort to violence while Kunder said he is not pursuing the matter with the police. However, reports are doing the rounds that Shirish kunder sent an sms to Salman Khan about the fracas. It is a known fact that Sallu and Srk do not get along well. Salman Kahn is currently in Cuba shooting for his film 'Ek Tha Tiger'.
