This feud turned into a public spectacle in 2016 when Kangana referred to Hrithik as a “silly ex.” Hrithik responded with a legal notice, sparking a series of legal and media battles.

In 2003, Vivek Oberoi held a press conference accusing Salman Khan of threatening him over his relationship with Aishwarya Rai. This feud damaged Vivek’s career, and while Salman maintained silence initially, it took years for the rift to heal, with Vivek later apologizing publicly.

The rift started at an award show in 2014 when Arijit allegedly insulted Salman with a casual remark. Salman reportedly took it personally, leading to Arijit’s song being removed from Sultan (2016). Arijit later apologized multiple times on social media, but the fallout affected his professional ties with Salman.

Close friends for years, Karan Johar and Kajol’s relationship soured during the box-office clash between Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay in 2016. Karan accused Kajol’s husband, Ajay Devgn, of foul play, and Kajol supported Ajay. The fallout was so severe that Karan claimed their 25-year friendship was over. However, they patched up after Karan’s children were born.
