There are friendships and enmities galore in Bollywood, and the two are often interchangeable. In most cases, you never know which is which, since both are cloaked under the guise of professionalism.
Take Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, as examples. The rivalry between the emperor and the king began when SRK took up ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 3′ as a host. Their on-again, off-again friendship has been in the news since then.
Recently, on the day of the release of his latest film, ‘Om Shanti Om’, Shah Rukh was the chief guest on ‘Nach Baliye 3′, on STAR Plus.
Here, he spoke about his heroine, Deepika Padukone, and mentioned that he had a blast working with her. There was one slight problem, he added, and that was her height.
“We wanted one kissing scene, but I only reached up to her stomach,” he joked. “Her height is suitable for one hero only, and that is Amitabh Bachchan,” he added.
Maybe he was joking, but if it was a dig (which only Shah Rukh can confirm), we do not think the Big B will take it lightly. Especially since much has been written about Amitabh already not being too pleased with SRK. And whatever happened to Shah Rukh’s declaration of being a happy person, and therefore wanting to spread happiness? Rajnee Gupta
