MUMBAI: Sometimes co-stars become the best of friends off-screen and other times not. Falling in the latter category are Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan. As per reports they were not on speaking terms for close to 16 years.
Back in the day, Shah Rukh Khan was very vocal about dancing at weddings and other private functions in order to earn big bucks. Soon after SRK spoke of it, Sunny Deol took an indirect dig at him while interacting with a magazine.

The Ghayal actor once said, “Only mujrawallis dance at weddings, not actors. I think actors should maintain their dignity. Dancing at a friend’s wedding is okay, but getting paid to dance is cheap.”
“Next, you will ask me-isn’t prostitution better than borrowing money from the market? I don’t agree with this kind of logic,” Deol added.
On the other hand, while Sunny Deol may have taken an indirect dig at him, Shah Rukh Khan once said that earning by dancing at weddings gives him a choice to not do certain films. Well, to each his own is all we can say.

Reportedly the bad blood began on the sets of Darr (1993) as Sunny believed that late filmmaker Yash Chopra gave more prominence to the baddie of the film aka Khan. SRK’s Rahul received more popularity and love from the audience as compared to Sunny’s Sunil Malhotra.
