As reported by Bangalore Mirror, this curious occurrence unfolded at a private event orchestrated by Sanjana Jon in 2009. The guest list boasted luminaries such as Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Sohail Khan, Shibani Kashyap, and Vijender Singh, among others. The celebration took an unexpected turn when Monika, the daughter of a wealthy builder, made an uninvited entrance. Allegedly, she crashed the gathering, not only physically slapping Salman but also showering abuses upon Sushmita, Sohail, and others.
Contrary to his fiery reputation, Salman Khan displayed unexpected restraint, choosing to handle the situation calmly. The actor reportedly directed security personnel to escort Monika out of the venue. The publication quoted a leading website saying, “A sloshed Monika accompanied by a male friend first tried to forcefully enter the party venue. She was too loud and completely out of control. Sohail Khan asked the security guards not to let Monika in.”
The report further noted, “Meanwhile, Salman heard the commotion and walked to where Monika was making a fuss. She was misbehaving and started abusing Sushmita Sen. When Salman very politely asked the girl to leave, she suddenly slapped the actor.” The unfolding drama attracted attention, leading to a growing crowd of curious onlookers. Once the situation was diffused, the Khan brothers, Salman and Sohail, reconnected with the festivities.
