Choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan is upset about a reported brawl between her superstar friend Shah Rukh Khan and her husband Shirish Kunder at a high-profile party in Mumbai

The fight is said to have taken place at popular club Aurus during Sanjay Dutt's success party for Agneepath on early Monday morning.

"Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem and that it means the person who is hitting has either a professional or personal crisis going on and it saddens me to see him doing the same," Farah said.

As the news about the fight gained momentum, Khan has not acknowledged the incident, only tweeting vague references.

However, Kunder took to Twitter to clarify that he is not planning to file any official complaint in this regard.

"Thanks for all your concern and wishes. We are very grateful. Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing an FIR or police complaint," tweeted Kunder.

‘Shocked'

Apparently, while guests were having a ball, at around 4.30am, Khan entered the venue straight after the Filmfare awards with three of his bodyguards. According to eyewitnesses, he headed towards Kunder and roughed him up.

"We didn't know what was happening. We saw SRK enter. Then we saw him head towards Shirish. SRK pulled Shirish down to the ground by his long hair. We were all shocked. We had never seen SRK behave this way before," said an eyewitness.

"Before anyone could react, Baba Dewan [the owner of Aurus] ran and intervened. SRK told Dewan to keep out. Dewan said the place belonged to him and he must intervene. The fight would've been prolonged had Sanjay Dutt not pulled SRK away from the ugly scene," the eyewitness added.

Kunder apparently left immediately. Kunder's wife Farah was one of the superstar's closest friends but they fell out a year back.
