🎤 Johnny Lever shared:
💬 “We were shooting Karan Arjun in Jaipur, and after pack-up, we used to party. Salman would often tease Shah Rukh, calling him a ‘star’ and mocking his dancing. We were always worried that their teasing might turn serious.”

💬 “Suddenly, Salman took out a gun and shot at Shah Rukh. SRK collapsed on the spot. Everyone was in shock—Honey Irani almost had an attack! But then, suddenly, both started laughing—it was all a joke!”
