Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have been an iconic duo ruling the Indian film industry for decades. As superstars at the top, Shah Rukh and Salman's friendship and past feud have been as legendary as their movies. And this friendship of theirs dates back to 1995, when they both played brothers in Karan Arjun. Recently, choreographer Chinni Prakash revealed how, while filming the movie, both the actors joined hands to beat up men misbehaving with girls on the set.

Choreographer, Chinni Prakash, who was the brains behind the dance of the iconic song, 'Bhangda Paale' of Karan Arjun, shared anecdotes about the 1995 film, in an interview with Friday Talkies. He also shared a lot of memories about the two main leads, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan who were emerging as the superstars of the generation. Chinni shared an instance where Shah Rukh and Salman beat up some of the men of the village where they were shooting after they eve-teased the girls working on the film set. Chinni recalled:

"During the shoot, one of the villagers started teasing girls on the set. Salman got very angry. Shah Rukh picked up lathis and started beating them. A big fight started. Then Salman, me and Shah Rukh, we took the girls in a van and took them to the hotel.”

In the same interview, Chinni talked about the behind-the-scenes of Karan Arjun and his dynamics with both the stars. The choreographer also mentioned that since it was his second film with Salman, he was closer to the Tere Naam actor. Chinni shared:

“It (Bhangda Paale) was an iconic song because both the heroes were dancing together, and they both were upcoming superstars. Salman was very close to me because I did his second film. Shah Rukh was not close to us. He was a little away.”
