Anupam
Kher
and
Irrfan
Khan
got
into
a
verbal
duel
on
Tuesday
evening
at
a
suburban
5-star
hotel,
during
a
discussion
at
the
curtain
raiser
of
an
award
function
.
Both
actors
were
nominated
for
their
performances
in
recent
films
Lunchbox
and
Special
Chabbis.
The
issue
began
when
Anupam
was
asked
to
make
a
comment
on
the
nominations
.
In
fact,
Anupam
Kher
was
just
trying
to
play
it
safe
and
said,
"I
would
only
like
to
talk
about
myself,
so
its
only
going
to
be
about
Special
Chabbis." But
it
is
true
that
anything
can
go
wrong
when
your
time
is
bad
!
Irrfan
took
this
as
an
insult
and
the
Slumdog
Millionaire
actor
shot
back
saying,
"Cinema
is
not
about
applauding
only
one's
own
self.
I
disagree
with
Anupam's
viewpoint.
We
need
to
praise
others
too."
This
enraged
Anupam
and
his
ego
is
hurt
as
he
is
much
senior
to
Irfan
and
replied
in
negative,
"This
is
totally
out
of
context.
I
teach
students
when
to
applaud
and
who
to
applaud.
I
have
a
high
regard
for
those
who
are
nominated
in
any
award
function."
When
Anupam
said
that
he
has
high
regards
for
those
who
are
nominated
in
any
award
function,
he
was
trying
to
clarify
that
he
doesn't
have
a
problem
with
Irrfan
and
instead
have
high
regards
for
the
actor
in
him.
The
issue
got
settled
after
both
actors
had
a
chat
later
and
hugged
each
other
!
