I'm feeling better about the SRK/Juhi situation now that more people have posted on it with all the facts. I didn't realize her brother had been in a coma for more than a year and still held the position and that SRK only officially replaced him after 1 year (or 2 as said below).
I can see why Juhi was emotional and if SRK didn't directly reach out to her when the replacement happened, I do think he should have done that rather than let her hear about it from someone else. But I'm not so clear if that happened or not.

Juhi is a rich man's wife and overrates herself due to that. SRK kept Bobby as CEO of his company for 2 years while he was in a coma and there was almost no chance of recovery. He was replaced long afterwards when it was getting unfair to make someone else do his work and not give them the title to go with it.
In the funeral, Bobby's wife was hugging and clinging to SRK more than her own sister-in-law Juhi. You can go check out the videos yourself. He would have obviously spoken to his immediate family about his job position and not his sister who had nothing to do with Red Chillies.
I feel the first sentence is very mean-spirited. You make it sound like Juhi is someone important only because she snagged a rich man. She's a Bollywood outsider who became a top actress in the late 80s/90s. All on her own talent and merit. She doesn't overrate herself. Where did she claim that she feels SRK has wronged her because she's a better actress or bigger star? Stardom has nothing to do with their relationship here.
And I'm sure Bobby's wife was regularly interacting with Juhi. SRK doesn't live with this family. He's not always over with the Chawlas. He's a guest so if he's attending the funeral, of course Bobby's wife would be hugging someone she's seeing after some time than Juhi who she has more contact with.
Juhi used to be SRK's business partner. Maybe she isn't anymore but she's one of his closest friends and leading ladies, so all of that combined, makes it seem rather dismissive of SRK if he decided he wouldn't inform her about what he's doing because she's only Bobby's sister. Yes, she's Bobby's sister but she's also a whole lot more to SRK. It really doesn't sound in character for him to not inform her. You can defend SRK without deriding Juhi that she has no place in the equation when that's anything but true.

Agree with all ur points except on Vivek. He doesnt come across as vile or vindictive. He is actually a simpleton for whom things r either black or white. No in-betweens. Such people follow their heart n not mind..arent complex. He probably felt it right to confront the abuser upfront..ghuma phira ke baat karne se achha hai seedha sach bol do. It may not have been Aish’s preferred way but eventually she gave a statement. Diplomacy is the key to survive in a cut throat industry like BW and Vivek doesnt have it in him. Glad he found his girl
I think Vivek's heart was in the right place. I'm not someone who believes he did this as a chest-thumping competition between him and Salman. I do think he did the press conference out of affection for Aishwarya and being a relative newcomer and outsider to the film industry, didn't understand the immediate repercussions of calling out Salman from everyone else. And as proven by others, Aish did not immediately break up with him over the press conference. I doubt she was pleased by his actions because it goes against her very rigid doctrine of never speaking out about her private life publicly. But she did do damage control and they were still together as a couple for a long time after that. The haters claim she dumped him immediately which isn't even remotely true.
That being said, the relationship did eventually end so Aish must have felt Vivek was not a good partner or a not a dependable partner in the long run. Something Vivek did failed her and for this, he still holds a grudge against her. I have more negative feelings about him for how he's treated her post-breakup than how they treated each other when together.
And regardless of if people defend Salman or Aish, both of them remain silent on each other all these years later (Salman has the occasional slips like admitting his favorite song he's done is Dhol Baaje), so you have to give them credit for that. Vivek is the only one in the equation who hasn't moved on and keeps bringing up dirty laundry from ages ago to remain relevant. And I think that's a great deal of his motivation that he's no longer relevant and the last time he was, it was because of Aish, so she's his easy target. Which shows he hasn't grown as a person and is emotionally stunted.
