It was while editing Farah Khan's directorial debut Main Hoon Na that Shirish Kunder lost his heart to choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan. He also edited her next project Tees Maar Khan. But strangely he will not edit his wife's next film that stars Shah Rukh Khan.

"Yes, it is true that I won't be working on her film. Till August 31, I'm busy with my directorial venture. Also being an editor of a film is like giving a commitment for nearly a year, I cannot stay away from being a director for that long. I want to concentrate on my films as a director now," said Shirish.  Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish had a much-publicised fall-out a few months ago at a party earlier this year. But they patched things soon after.

Asked about whether SRK's association with the film, as an actor and producer influenced Shirish in taking this call, he clarified, "I'm neutral with Shah Rukh. Neither is he my friend nor my enemy. He is Farah's very close friend and Farah and I are married. That doesn't mean that even Shah Rukh and I are friends. However, tomorrow if I go to a party and he is present there I will go up to him and say hello for sure. But I'm a loner by nature."

At the success bash of Karan Johar's Agneepath, hosted by Sanjay Dutt, SRK and Shirish's big fight became the talk of town. After a war of words between the two, Shah Rukh reportedly slapped best friend Farah Khan's husband. After RA.One's dismal show, Shirish made fun of SRK's magnum opus on Twitter that angered SRK. The next day, Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala drove Farah and Shirish to Mannat to sort out the differences.
