Slapgate : The new season……. Shah Rukh Khan Slaps Shirish

A sudden beep in the Phone and a Facebook message from a dear friend “Shirish Kunder pit gaya”, made me ponder now what. Before I could actually realize phone buzzed again.now it was twitter going hot on Shah Rukh Khan. Well After the great marking blitz of Ra one and one disappointing movie you would not expect him to trend on twitter for a while. But here he was trending along with Farah Khan. It did not take long for the Byomkesh Bakshi in me to make the connection. A slight click on the phone and there was the story Shah Rukh Khan beats up Farah Khan’s husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt’s party.

For those who are still not aware of the story here it is. After the 2008 Salman-SRK royal rumble at Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash Shah Rukh finds himself in another rumble, though not as exciting as the last one. The gossip lines are on flames with the news that Khan punched Kunder ( He is Farah Khan’s Husband, well I know nothing more about him) at Sanjay Dutt’s party at a lounge bar in the city. Incidentally they were all celebrating the success of Sanjay Dutt in Agneepath. Then comes an inebriated Shirish following Shah Rukh Khan around monkeying around him. An irritated Khan then allegedly pinned Shirish to a sofa and punched and abused him. Not Physically…orally.

According to sources, (read twitter) Dutt who had to intervene and separate the two, also slapped Kunder for allegedly sending lewd messages to his wife Manyata and for misbehaving with a girl at the party.

Well that is the story….Not as exciting as the last one. But what made this entire thing exciting is Twitter… The problem started on Twitter.

Kunder tweeted on October 26: “I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle” and “Taran Adarsh writes the review of a movie. He trends, the movie doesn’t!” SRK did not like that one bit and was waiting in corner to take that punch at him when he had a chance and Kunder did give him last evening.

But this has sent the twitter world go wild, there were some of the classic responses that have come on twitter handles. I list some of the better one below.

• Gauri Khan’s Husband Beat up FARAH Khan’s Wife !
• This was probably the first ever action scene SRK and Farah Khan did together without any retakes
• SRK is the new harvinder Singh and the old harbhajan Singh
• Expecting a tweet from Sreesanth condoling the #slapgate incident .
• Anna asks innocently, ‘Bus ek hee?’ #SlapGate
• “Thappad se darr nahi lagtaa saab .. Farah Khan se Lagtaa hai”… ~ Shirish Kunder to SRK after #SlapGate incident
• SRK has become the new Slap-maar Khan
• Dear SRK, Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di? Hahaha!
• Knowing Srk n Farah Khan, they’re saying “Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost !”
• Oh My GOD.. Ra.One Game se Bahar Aa gaya.
• Shanthakumaran Sreesanth. Sharad Pawar. Now, Shirish Kunder. I see a pattern here. In the first name of those who get Shlapped.
