Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's long friendship hit a rough patch in 2012 after a reported dispute between SRK and Farah's husband, filmmaker Shirish Kunder, at a party hosted by Sanjay Dutt. Media reports claimed that Shah Rukh slapped Shirish at the event, resulting in a major fallout between them. However, Farah later addressed the incident during her appearance on NDTV's Your Call, stating that there was no physical altercation.

But I think what we learnt all of us from that was that it’s gone too far, and it’s like you know, when you need a splash of, when two people are fighting you need to throw a bucket of water on their face.
