When Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay released on the same date, over the Diwali weekend of 2016, it was a clash like no other. 

Frankly, Karan Johar and Ajay Devgn took this rivalry to the point that sent shock waves deep into Bollywood.

Ajay accused Karan of bribing self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan to trash the former’s film and praise ADHM instead. Things got uglier when Ajay went ahead and uploaded a recorded phone call where KRK admitted to making this deal. 

Amidst the chaos, Kajol retweeted Ajay’s tweet with a caption saying “Shocked.” 

That was the point when Bollywood saw a friendship of 25 years shatter and how.

Talking about the incident, Karan Johar bares it all out in his recently-released biography, An Unsuitable Boy. 

From utter shock to heartbreak, K Jo felt a cyclone of emotions stirring when this happened in his life.

Twitter user @friends_rachel6 posted excerpts from his book:

While both Ajay and Kajol have refrained from commenting, a source close to Ajay Devgn hit back. “Karan is doing this just to sell his book. The whole industry knows that Karan bitches people behind their back. Even Shah Rukh Khan was upset with Karan because of his comments against Priyanka Chopra. Two years ago at a party, Karan indulged in really loose talk about Kajol in front of an A-list actor. That actor, in turn, told Ajay Devgn about it. Ajay even asked that actor why, despite being Karan’s friend, is he telling him about it. The actor said that if Karan could badmouth Kajol in front of him, he could also gossip about him someday. Ajay was obviously furious – any man would be if his wife was talked about in such light. So he called Karan and abused him on the phone. He told Karan that ‘you can say what you wish about my film but don’t talk about my wife and family.’”

The source, choosing to remain anonymous, adds, “This issue is two years old. Much before the clash between Karan’s film (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil) and Ajay’s film (Shivaay) happened. The fact that it is being discussed now, and so is Karan’s sexual orientation, is clearly to remain in news to sell his book. He can do whatever he wishes, but he can’t make a villain out of Ajay Devgn in that process. This is just playing dirty.”

Broken Friendships can be tougher to handle than broken hearts. This looks like one of those situations.

It is no secret that Aamir Khan shares a good raptor with Shah Rukh Khan, and he is friends with Salman Khan. Aamir spoke about his friends, Shah Rukh and Salman, in a recent media interaction and said that they both are bigger stars than him.

Aamir was speaking during the poster launch of Dangal, his upcoming flick, which is releasing December 23 this year. The versatile actor insisted that when Salman and Shah Rukh walk into a room it seems a “star has come”, which is not the case when he enters somewhere.

“I always feel when Salman (Khan) enters a room you feel a star has come,” Aamir insisted. “When I enter, I feel a waiter has come. Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that as waiter (s) are great people.”

“I feel when I walk into (a room) I feel it’s nobody as I enter silently,” he added. “When Salman, Shah Rukh enter you feel (a) star has entered. I don’t have that quality. They are bigger stars than me.”

Aamir, meanwhile, refused to draw parallel among Bollywood stars, saying that there are a number of huge stars in the industry, and it is difficult to “compare who is ahead and who is not”.

“I have always considered Shah Rukh, Amit ji as a bigger stars,” Aamir said. “There are host of stars in our country who are huge like Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh.”

At the poster launch of his upcoming movie ‘Dangal’ Aamir fielded many questions on his friendship with Salman Khan, the recent bonding between Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.
