Ashmit Patel beats up Imran’s friend…
The latest addition to the list of Bollywood drunken brawls is Ashmit Patel, younger brother of actress Ameesha Patel.
News has it that Ashmit Patel beat up one of Imran Khan’s close friend and makeup man, Vicky in the wee hours of Saturday, at around 2.15 am precisely. Vicky was immediately rush to a hospital and has been diagnosed with a fractured nose, apart from other superficial bruises.
It all started when Ashmit began to poke Vicky and his friend Amin, for no particular reason. According to a source, “Vicky does not know Ashmit, neither professionally nor at a personal level.”
On questioning Patel’s actions, the actor lost his cool and started bashing up Vicky. Ashmit wasn’t alone. Very soon, 12-15 of his friends joined him in the fight. It was Vicky’s girlfriend who finally called the bouncers for help.
Say’s an eyewittness, “But it was too late. Pooja was horrified seeing Vicky bleeding the way he was,”
Added the witness, “Ashmit was in a very aggressive mood. He was trying to bully people in the nightclub. He just wanted violence.”
A source very close to Vicky says, “Vicky lost at least three-four litre of blood. His journey from Parel to Borivali made him extremely groggy. Pooja stayed with Vicky, until he was finally operated in a hospital in Borivali.”
Imran Khan’s official spokesperson, on being informed about the incident, said, “What happened is extremely unfortunate. Imran is not in town. And he doesn’t know about this. But if he were here, he would have been very upset. Vicky is very close to him. Imran and Vicky have been working together since Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. They are also extremely close friends.”
If all this is true, we seriously hope a strict action is taken against the actor.

Remember that horrid fight between the Khan at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party, 3 years back???. And, history repeats itself, once again…
On Thursday night, Sanjay Dutt threw a lavish birthday bash for his beloved wife, Maanyata. Only his close friends were invited. Salman Khan and Bunty Walia were present, too.

On reaching, he greeted everyone and then bumped into Bunty Walia. Salman was already in high spirits. On seeing Bunty, he started arguing with the filmmaker.
After some time, the argument got so loud that despite the music playing at the party, all people could hear were Salman and Bunty.
They started abusing each other. Had it not been for Dharam Oberoi’s intervention, who knows what would have happened. Dharam separated the two and took Bunty away. Had he not intervened at the right time, the fight would have become physical.”
“Sanjay Dutt, the host of the party had incidentally, gone down at that time to drop Fardeen Khan and his wife to their car. He was nowhere to be seen when all this happened.
In fact, Walia was heard telling one of the guests, that since he did not want to create a scene, he would rather leave. When Bunty was leaving, he bumped into Sanju who was coming in after dropping Fardeen,” added the source.
“Dutt chose to keep quiet about the incident. In fact, after that he partied with Salman and the rest of the guests till the wee hours of the morning,” said the source.
A source informed, “Bunty Walia and Salman’s brother Sohail Khan were business partners at one point in time.
However, after Bunty and Sohail went their separate ways, all has not been well between the Khan clan and Bunty. In fact, Salman and Bunty had got into a fight before as well.”
