Ashutosh Gowariker and Sajid Khan war

When Sajid told him that the jokes were part of the script, Ashu asked him to shut up and walked off. Not one to take such a thing lying low, Sajid put in the last word by saying, “Nobody’s father can ask me to shut up”.

As a co-host of the Star Screen Awards, along with his sister Farah, Sajid had been cracking jokes at the expense of many celebrities. When Ashutosh Gowarikar came on stage to accept his award, he voiced his displeasure at Sajid’s humour and also the fact that he was not allowing many award winners to give an acceptance speech. He also said that the people would rather listen to the artistes than Sajid’s jokes.
