How long the Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan animosity will continue? This is very important question given the fact that both the actors have great influence on Indian cinema.
There are some animosities in the Bollywood that have become legendary.
Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan don’t see eye to eye. The two actors have their favourites in the Bollywood and don’t work together. They wouldn’t even attend film award functions together. Though Amitabh, SRK rivalry dates back to almost a decade now, but it made headlines in 2004 at the Zee Cine Awards function in Dubai when Bachchan was given a seat in the 14th row a fact that so incensed his friend politician Amar Singh that he made a huge scene. SRK, described Amar Singh’s behavior as ‘goondagardi’ causing the vibes between him and Amitabh to turn negative, despite Jaya Bachchan earlier having referred to SRK as her ’son’.
Bachchan has been very critical of SR ever since. The bad vibes were later aggravated by intense professional rivalry because of SRK’s decision to act in the remake of Don and anchor KBC.
Earlier this year Amitabh Bachchan severely criticized Shah Rukh Khan’s game show on Star TV Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain.
It is no secret that Salman Khan and John Abraham do not get along well with each other. The reports of animosity between them cropped after they returned from the Rockstars concert a few years ago. Then there were also rumours that the vibes between Salman and John were quite cold while working in Ravi Chopra’s movie Baabul . Even filmmaker Nikhil Advani made sure not to touch the sensitive issue and kept no scenes featuring Salman and John together in his movie Salaam-e-Ishq .
Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan rivalry too is no secret. Though the two have made up recently, but Aamir’s criticism of Amitabh’s film black drew a very adverse comments from Big B. Aamir in an interview had criticized director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his handling of the film Black terming it ‘insensitive and manipulative.’ He also termed the performances of the actors ‘over the top’.
Amitabh was in no mood to take this criticism laying down. When asked as to what he thought about Aamir’s ‘over the top’ remark, Bachchan said, “I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right on the other maybe the performances did go ‘over the top’ of his head”.
Salman Shah Rukh spat may not end any time soon.
Salman Khan had thrown a lavish party for his heartthrob Katrina Kaif, the reigning diva of the Indian filmdom. He was reportedly in an inebriated condition when Shah Rukh Khan entered the party with his wife Gauri Khan. Salman Khan had reportedly a few complaints from Shah Rukh Khan.
The most important complaint being the fact that the king Khan had not reciprocated his generosity by appearing in a guest role in his forthcoming film.

Salman and Shah Rukh Khan have also become competitors recently. Both the superstars are hosting game show for different TV channels. Salman allegedly said that SRK wanted to torpedo his game show ‘Dus Ka Dum’.
King Khan initially avoided responded to his vitriolic, but thing went out of hand when Sallu threatened to beat him. This infuriated Shah Rukh so much that he said that he would beat Salman, there before theeyes of his friends and relatives.
Luckily Gauri intervened before it was too late and said she was leaving. She took Shah Rukh’s hand and led him outside.

After their break-up in March 2002, Rai accused him of harassing her. She claimed that Khan had not been able to come to terms with their break-up and was hounding her; her parents lodged a complaint against him.
