Sometimes
a
harmless
joke
can
take
a
deadly
turn.
And
that's
exactly
what
happened
at
the
Filmfare
awards
on
Saturday
night,
which
had
a
few
tense
moments
courtesy
the
Razzy
awards
that
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
were
handing
out
to
to
their
colleagues.
The
two
Khans
gave
out
the
desi
version
The
Nariyal
Awards
in
various
categories.
The
show
script
had
many
funny
moments
with
the
guests
in
splits
until
they
announced
the
Wedding
Dancer
of
the
year
award
to
Akshay
Kumar
for
dancing
at
most
weddings
in
2007.
Then
Shahrukh
went
on
to
say,
"I
am
free
for
a
few
months
now,
I
might
just
do
the
same.
"To
which
Saif
added,
"I
was
even
thinking
of
doing
birthday
parties." At
this
point,
King
Khan
warned
him,
"Don't
say
that
aloud,
Akki
will
start
doing
that
too."
While
everyone
in
the
audience
was
enjoying
the
joke,
Akshay
wasn't
particularly
amused.
In
fact,
when
Akshay
got
hold
of
the
mike,
he
decided
to
get
his
own
back
and
said,
"Shahrukh,
your
wife
had
called
me
yesterday." There
was
stunned
silence
in
the
auditorium
thinking
Akki
was
going
to
make
a
nasty
jibe
at
SRK.
But
the
actor
added,
"She
told
me
to
come
to
your
house
and
perform
for
Aryan's
next
birthday
bash
as
he
prefers
my
dancing
to
yours.
" If
one
remembers
SRK
and
Akshay
have
been
pitted
against
each
other
at
the
BO
with
Akshay
giving
four
hits
last
year
compared
to
Shahrukh's
two.
Akki
wasn't
going
to
let
his
rival
make
digs
and
not
retaliate.
The
source
says,
"Akshay
felt
he
had
taken
enough
ribbing
from
the
duo.
And
he
gave
them
a
fitting
reply.
Everyone
thought
Akki
had
cracked
a
joke
and
smartly
and
pointedly
made
his
point
too.
"Akki
is
an
extremely
popular
dancer
and
is
called
to
perform
at
weddings
at
astronomical
sums
of
money.
Akki's
wit
at
first
left
SRK
looking
stumped
but
then
he
simply
smiled
and
took
it
sportingly.
The
cracks
on
Akki
stopped
after
that." An
industrywalla
adds,
"I
would
not
be
surprised
if
this
entire
tu-tu
main-main
was
not
part
of
the
act.
If
you
remember,
Akki
did
something
similar
at
the
Filmfare
awards
in
Om
Shanti
Om."
