There is a big reason for Farah Khan to be happy for the success of her new released movie, ‘Tees Maar Khan’. This talented choreographer and director was tensed about the success of her film. She didn’t think that it would get good response from the audience around the world.

However, she didn’t have to be disappointed on the festive season of Christmas and New Year.

All the credit of ‘Tees Maar Khan’ box office collection should go to the pair Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar. However, Katrina Kaif’s item number ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ registered a bumper response at the box office.

Most of the multiplexes across India were 100% houseful on the opening day. However, at some places, the occupancy was 90%, but it is as good as houseful. So, it is enough to understand that the film has earned huge amount of money.

On the first day of its release, the film collected Rs 14 crore. It was Akshay Kumar’s biggest opener of his entire career.

Fans will be watching to see if ‘Tees Maar Khan’ makes any new record.

Tees Maar Khan: Shahrukh takes his revenge on Farah

Only few years ago, Farah Khan and Shahrukh Khan shared a very good relationship. Their relationship was so good that Farah referred Shahrukh as her brother. However, that relationship turned sour when Shahrukh had a clash with Farah Khan’s husband Shirish Kunder over a movie script. After that Farah Khan took Akshay over Shahrukh Khan in her upcoming movie Tees Maar Khan which upset Shahrukh very much.

Shahrukh got the opportunity to express his anger at the recently held Mumbai Police Mela at Andheri. On December 19, 2010, the Mumbai police Mela took place where many renowned Bollywood stars appeared and performed. Farah Khan and his Tees Maar Khan crew also appeared at the show to promote movie. While Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Farah Khan came to promote the movie, suddenly Shahrukh Khan walked on the stage with his body guard and walked towards the audience. An eyewitness said:

"SRK and his bodyguards started walking towards the audience. Sab logon ka dhyaan SRK par chala gaya. And though they glanced at Farah, Akshay and Katrina, their attention was divided."
"SRK and his bodyguards started walking towards the audience. Sab logon ka dhyaan SRK par chala gaya. And though they glanced at Farah, Akshay and Katrina, their attention was divided."

Recently, Shahrukh Khan Patch up with other renowned actors in Bollywood have been the headline of the media. Shahrukh amended relationship with Vishal Bhardwaj, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sunil Gavaskar and Aishwarya Rai.

However, Shahrukh Khan, the king of Bollywood is not yet ready to maintain his relationship with Farah Khan. Shahrukh Khan and Farah already worked in two hit movies- Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. It all stated when Farah Khan’s husband Shirish Kunder was working on a movie script which Shahrukh was supposed to act. Shahrukh didn’t like the script and told Shirish Kunder to change the script and this disagreement crated a crack between the relationship of Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan. It looks like Shah Rukh Khan is still upset with Farah Khan and though he mended his relationship with other Bollywood celebrities, he will not mend his relationship with Farah Khan so soon.

Few days ago Salman Khan in an interview said, “I have broken up with Katrina. We were friends then for everybody, we are friends now.” This remark resulted into relentless questioning of media people about her split with Salman Khan.

Initially, Katrina Kaif remained calm but at the face of continuous questioning and unpleasant remarks, she could not control herself but broke down into tears. She lost control over her emotions and blurted "If Salman says we've split, it must be true."

Soon she walked out of the conference. A close friend of Katrina Kaif, who accompanied her to the conference, said that Katrina Kaif is a strong girl and never breaks down in public but that night she became very upset and wept after the event because she was continuously questioned on something that Salman Khan said.

Katrina Kaif has decided to make certain modifications in her contract to make sure that next time media people asks only questions related to her professional works and endorsements.
