What Really Happened Behind Famous Filmi Brawls

We have witnessed innumerous Bollywood brawls so far but have no clue why many of them happened.

Just day before yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan (allegedly in an inebriated state) got into a fight with Mumbai Cricket Association officials at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium.

Now, we've heard the audio of the fight, and seen the photographs floating on the Internet, but who made the first wrong move?

We've got a couple of theories, about what may have happened on the field, and many other cases in the past. But do take this in good sportsman's spirit -- something that's clearly missing from the IPL field these days. Want to add your theories? Write in!

The SRK-MCA spat

SRK may have hit a rough patch but his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders is having its first great run in the five editions of the tournament.

In fact, when the spat occurred, KKR had just beaten Mumbai Indians, and that too at Wankhede, when Shah Rukh Khan descended on the field, presumably to celebrate.

So maybe he got just a little bit carried away to see his team FINALLY perform well! Who wouldn't? MCA officials should have simply humoured the jubilant man instead of going on the offensive/defensive.

We would have!

Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder slapgate

You say unsavoury things about the King Khan, you get served!

And God help you if you so much as even dream of taking a dig at Ra.One.

When Shirish Kunder alluded to the actor's dream project's failure at the box office with a nasty joke on Twitter, he practically invited SRK for a physical altercation.

And, you have to be really daft if you don't stop at that and irk SRK in person too.

Saif Ali Khan and Iqbal Sharma

Saif was with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and their friends at Mumbai's topend restaurant Wasabi when he got into a fight with a fellow diner -- a South African expat -- who asked the group to turn the noise down a bit.

We have a theory.

The NRI Iqbal Sharma must have pointed out to Saif that his Kareena tattoo -- the one that's inked in Hindi and was relentlessly flashed by him when he first got it -- is spelt wrong.

Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt's birthday brouhaha

Much before they bonded on the sets of Bigg Boss, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt had a war of words at wife Maanyata's birthday party last year.

So what really happened?

We think Salman irked 'big brother' Dutt when he apparently suggested that Dutt should have played his father in Bodyguard since his lead actor career was over.

Given the fact that Dutt did play a character role in Agneepath, we don't think he's delusional about his age.

We just think what really infuriated Dutt was that Salman mistakenly made that suggestion to Maanyata instead.

Shah Rukh Khan, Sohail Khan and Mozez mania

A film producer named Mozez Singh picked up a fight with SRK and Sohail Khan at Sanjay Kapoor's wife Maheep Kapoor's birthday party last year.

After he was told off by Sohail when he passed lewd comments about some of the female guests, he had to extricate his collar from SRK's firm grip after he rattled the actor on his way out.

We wonder if he took a dig at SRK: 'I can be a more successful producer than you ever can be'?

Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor's fightclub

Salman Khan and Ranbir reportedly locked horns at a nightclub a couple of years ago.

Could it be because the pretty young things mistook Khan for a bouncer in the club's dim lights and danced with Ranbir instead?

That must have really stung!

Salman and Shah Rukh Khan's love-hate relationship

Their no-on now-off feuds will soon find their place in Bollywood folklore.

Their last public face-off happened at Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008.

We are guessing that SRK, the wittier of the two, must have told Salman, 'My girl may be older than yours but she's definitely got less botox.'

Now that you have read our version of what may have caused the famous Bollywood brawls, what would your theory be? TELL US!
