When Salman Khan shot Shah Rukh Khan
Johnny Lever, their co-star in the film, told Galatta in a recent interview about the time they were convinced that Salman killed Shah Rukh. "We were shooting Karan Arjun in Jaipur, and after shoot in the evening, we used to party. We were drinking, dancing, and enjoying. Salman used to tease Shah Rukh on the set. He used to call him a star and tease his dancing. We were all worried that Shah Rukh would be offended if it turns serious," the comedian said, explaining the context of the prank.
He then added, "One evening at the party, the two started fighting all of a sudden. Johnny Lever then mimicked Salman pulling out a gun and firing at Shah Rukh. "Shah Rukh collapsed. We all were shocked. Honey Irani gasped. She was on the verge of an attack. But they were joking. What a prank it was. Then Shah Rukh got up and both of them just started laughing."
Salman had once addressed this prank when he appeared on Aap Ki Adalat. “I told Shah Rukh, I’ll call you for dance, you refuse, and then we will engage in a scuffle, and here’s a blank gun. I will fire a shot at you and you will fall down. My brother Sohail was there. I pulled Shah Rukh’s hand, and he snatched away his hand. He pushed me, and I also pushed him, a scuffle ensued, I took out the gun and fired a shot at him. Shah Rukh did a somersault and fell down,” Salman had recalled.
