Shah Rukh and Saif apologise after Filmfare antics
Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan have had to apologise to a member of the Bollywood fraternity after their stupid jokes made at the Filmfare Awards.
Top end film maker Vidhu Vinod Chopra took the proper way of complaining after his family notified him of obscure and unnecessary humour targeted at him at the Filmfare Awards on February 23rd. “Vinod was in the US scouting for locations when the event happened. His family watched the awards telecast on March 2 on Sony and were upset. They informed him about how Saif and Shah Rukh ridiculed him. Vinod was extremely upset. Ten days ago, Vinod Chopra Films, through a letter, has conveyed to the publication and the channel that they will not participate in the awards or give any material belonging to them unless there is a public apology. It is a stand that they have taken because they felt the need for it,” says a source.
The source then goes onto say that as soon as the two Khans heard of this, the apologised. “Saif and Shah Rukh heard that their comment had upset Vinod. So before he could dash off a letter to them, they called Vinod and personally apologised to them.”
Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan are always making fun of people whenever they anchor an Awards show, but this time they did go a little over the top. Apart from Vinod, the Khans laughed at Yash Chopra, Ram Gopal Verma, Vidya Balan and Akshay Kumar. The particular comment that got Vinod upset, was when Shah Rukh and Saif gave out a ‘Na-real’ award for The Come-back Award since Eklavya — The Royal Guard came back from the Oscars unrecognised.”
Vinod Chopra Films have since released a statement to the press… “We are not looking for media attention and controversy. We don’t want to waste our time over it. The actors (Saif and Shah Rukh) have already apologised to Chopra’s family. A letter making our displeasure known has been sent to the publication and channel concerned. Beyond this, there is nothing to say.”
Did you watch the Filmfare Awards and were you a little dismayed at the antics of Shah Rukh and Saif? Did they really go a little over the top or were they within their limits? Should fellow actors make fun of other members of the industry… is this really necessary…? We would love to hear your thoughts. Please use the comments section below to send us your feedback.
i think some of the joker were acceptable, but few were too much..like the 1 that they did vidya balan..that must have a really embarrasing thing for her and her designer..i think they can make fun,but within the limit
i think some of the jokes were acceptable, but few were too much..like the one that they did on vidya balan..that must have been a really embarrasing moment for her and her designer..i think they can make fun,but within the limit
I love both Khans but they went too far. I watch the show with a level of discomfort for all involved.
i watch it online..yeah they are too much..
and i think srk talk more then saif as saif just like suddenly on joke talked , while srk try to make a joke which not at all can make people laugh..sometime we have to think about others perception…..
ya i watched the show.And i think it’s very bad to do certain jokes,I don’t know what’s wrong with srk rescently.He is slaging every one, At Jamnagar functionhe was speaking against Akshaykumar.Is he realley jealous of him because he gave so many hits in one year.Please SRK grow up.
Actually Shah Rukh and Saif went too far bcos I practically thought they were picking on Vinodji. But they should be pardoned since they have appologised and the organisers of the awards should take preventive measures in future.
vinod’s reaction was uncalled for because take hollywood 4 example that is how they make d stars 2 improve. so i see no reason why he reacted that way after all it was the facts. dats why d Bachans didnt even react 2 that.
atleast thats wat we call SHOWBIZ. luv u bachans 4 dat and nobody should disturb Shah Rukh and Saif because they didnt do anythong wrong
The only reason SRK apologized,was that Vinodh thhreatened that he would not supply Materials ti FF and we all know that FF do not want to loose such director Raj kumar hirani cause he will direct IDIOT and everyone knows it is going to be nominated so SRK was right when he said “this is the first time i win a movie that is not directed by Raj kumar hirani!The only movie that wins for him his directed by Hirani so it is true!
they went too far by giving na-real awards to the people that was there cause it was embarrassing that Vidya,Akshay, and sippy!It was more funny when
they gave to people that not there!
i thought they were pretty funny until the vidya thing, i felt really bad for her
SRK went to far with his lame jokes, in fact his arrogance and crass bathroom style jokes had no place on this occasion. In the US, the Rasberry (Razzie)awards are given one day before the oscars. His jokes on Vidya Balan about seeing her naked etc, were crass. She some how held back her tears. SRK is no great actor and is only a mafia backed actor. His acting repertoire is restricted to 4 expressions. The film industry should call his bluff and bring him down a notch or two. Its very easy to imitate his stupid acting style.
srk didn’t do anything wrong. all his jokes were light hearted. i loved this yrs filmfare, it was so funny, srk rocks
I think everybody should lighten up a bit !! Problem is these people taken themselves way too seriously…The 2 Khans rocked as usual… and it’s about time People should improve thoer sense of humour
The jokes were not humilating to people. SRK and Saif did not make those jokes up. Whoever wrote the script is responsible. Not the Khan’s
SRK and Saif’s antics and jokes are really funny and I did not take them seriously and laughed at their commments. Those who are complaining should chill out. About the Eklavya joke what is so wrong ? I thought it was worth it. I would like the team of SRK , Saif and Karan Johar back next year. I mean SRK said something about Yash Chopra for whom SRK is the lucky mascot and Yashji took the proceedings well. So why should Sanjay Leela Bhansali and others make the fuss ? I do agree that if there was some joke where Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s mother was concerned then that is wrong and an apology should be issued and in future let the jokes be at the expense of those directly connected with the film industry , not the relatives.
SRK and SAIF ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! i loved their jokes; those jokes are made in all award functions to test stars if their really togh hearted enough for the movie industry wer so many difficult things are said about you and which you must bear with.
SRK n SAIF looked hot and i hope the anchor all other filmfare awards theyre jokes are extremely funny and they remain JOKES…JOKES!!! why cant people understand english!
once more FILMFARE 2004 and 2008 ROCKED BIG TIME!!!
BRAVO HOSTS!!!!!
Bravo hosts. They are the best.
I agree with Derek and that’s all i am going to say
joke were ok but over all they brough down the level of Indian Film Fare awards, it almost looked like a high school function. Above all their dressing up in the bathroom costumes was the most nasty one. I kind of like both of them and these jokes would have made more sense on a stage show which is not India filmfare awards.
I JUSSS WANNA SAY DAT THERE WAS NOTHIN RONG WAT HAPPEND IN DA AWARD CEREMONY.ITS ALL FAIR YAAR.DEY WERE SOOOOO FUNNY.I HOPE DEY ANCHOR ALL DA CEREMONIES ALONG WID KARAN.DERE JOKES WERE SOO FUNNY .EVERY1 SHUD ENJOY IT.YAA DA NA REAL AWARDS WERE EMBARASSING BUT DAT WASN’T DERE IDEA.DEY SHUD NOT BE BLAMED 4 DAT INFACT WE SHUD CONGRATULATE DEM 4 DERE WONDERFUL ANCHORING SKILLS.AFTERALL LYF IS DULL WIDOUT HUMOUR.C’MON GUYS GROW UP.
there is no doubting that srk and saif are gay and they would do better sleeping in the bed with each other bcoz that is there calibre. for a change they can sleep with kantabai.
two are great
this two are great …
