They say, it's tough to find true friends in the film industry. But still there are exceptions: Karan Johar-Kajol, Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty, Arjun Kapoor-Ranveer Singh, to mention a few. But even steadfast friends part ways when the ambitious person in them prevail over good sense.
Ajay and Karan may not have been great friends, but there's a common link between them and it's Kajol. On one hand, she is Ajay's better half but on the other, Karan and she are best buddies or BFFs. But thanks to one Kamaal R Khan, one would guess, there's some tension simmering. The irritant that KRK is, has revealed in an audio conversation with Ajay's business associate Kumar Mangat Pathak that Karan paid him Rs 25 lakh to tweet against Ajay's directorial venture Shivaay that clashes with Karan's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in Diwali.

It takes a lot to make a film and when untoward elements try to spoil your party, you wouldn't take things 'sportingly. Ajay not to anybody's surprise, has hit back with his official statement that reads: "I have been a part of the Indian film industry for the past 25 years and have been associated with over 100 films. My father was a professional action director and I have an emotional connection with this industry. It therefore pains me to see that people like Kamaal R Khan are holding the film industry to ransom by spreading negativity about films to extort money from producers. It is very sad that people from our own industry are supporting such elements and spoiling the ethos of the film industry. I would strongly demand that this be thoroughly investigated by competent authorities to clarify if Karan Johar was indeed involved in this."
The disclose by KRK is damaging enough to create a wall between the Devgns and Johars. One spares a thought for Kajol as she finds herself sandwiched between hubby and BFF. Ajay rightly says that the authenticity of Kamaal's claim needs to be probed. Quite justifiably, because the same KRK now does a U-turn and says it is Ajay who offered him money to criticise Ae Dil... and he never took any money from Karan. Seconding Ajay, one may add that such disturbing elements like KRK who has earlier made objectionable comments directed at even actresses should be punished in no uncertain terms.They ruin friendships and relationships just for some mileage.
We look forward to more developments on the Ajay vs Karan episode. Catchy headlines, inside stories and a lot more are in the pipeline. But most importantly, let the truth come out. And hopefully, both would act maturely to sort the issue out and not effect their cordial relations because of a troublemaker who only wants cheap publicity and nothing else.
