Saif Ali Khan was arrested and then released on bail, after a brawl that took place outside a five-star hotel in Mumbai.
Here is what happened, according to a statement by Iqbal Sharma, who was allegedly assaulted by Saif.
- Saif Ali Khan along with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karishma Kapoor, Amrita Arora and her husband Shakeel Ladak, Bilal Amrohi and Malaika Arora Khan were seated adjacent to Iqbal Sharma’s table.
- Says Iqbal “They were making a lot of noise and I asked the management to request them to tone it down. This happened thrice but there was no change in their behaviour. Finally at around 12:30 am we decided to leave. As we were going down the stairs, Saif was coming up, probably from the toilet. As he passed me, he called me an idiot and asked ‘do you know who I am?'”
- The two later exchanged a few words, which is when Saif turned around to punch Iqbal, even as the two other men (Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi) pushed his 69 year old father-in-law.
- Sharma then went to the GT Hospital, where doctors informed him that he had fractured his nasal bone. He then lodged an FIR complaint at the Colaba Police Station in Mumbai
- Saif Ali Khan along with Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi were arrested at 7:30 PM and an hour later released on bail.
Saif on the other hand, denied the charges. In his official statement, the actor says
There was an ugly incident last night where my friends and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted.I was hit and I defended myself. I have been to the police station to answer the requirements of law as I am a law abiding citizen. I have also filed a complaint about what happened last night and I am confident justice will be done.
I have seen the interviews given on TV and they look like decent people and I cannot believe that the same people were so aggressive the night before and the lies that they are saying about me with such straight faces.
I think they have the CCTV footage in the restaurant that will prove everything.
I hope the media is able to remain impartial while the matter is being decided. I don’t think any gentleman would have behaved differently
What do you think of the entire incident? Tell us in the comments section below.
Verry verry shamefull act….saifu we dnt expct it from u
If srk can go free after cowardly and drunkly slap shrish kunder from behind with 3 bodyguards then nothing will happen to saif
i dont think saif did anything since he was so confident that the cctv footage would prave everything. if he was lying, he would never even talk about that and he would avoid all the loop holes.
Bollywood actors feel that they are above the law and many times they get away with it.
Remember Salman Khan and slap on the wrist he got from the judge for his misdoings.
I hope Saif gets his just due.
Kareena ke pyaar may andhaaa saif
Saif ali khan has done misbehaviour & wrong things.
Iqbal Sharma’s evidence seems more convincing. Can’t believe Saif did something like that.
Unfortunately another actor who seems to think he is above the law. This will be swept under the carpet as usual. Fighting a journalist is one thing but ordinary people is bad. Saif just wanted to show Kareena and her family and friends that he is “The Man”. Glad his father is not around to see such tamasha.
Good Publicity stunt for Agent Vinod !!!!
We cannot believe Saif just because he talked about the CCTV footage….if he was so confident…then I think that there isn’t any proof for the incident….but we still don’t know the truth….What I think is Saif has done a mistake!The thing which made me tell this is the ‘father-in-law’ incident!According to me Iqbal Sharma’s evidence seems to be more convincing!
shabaash bhai jaan v proude of u saif ali khan………….
saif is a true gentleman, and it has been proved that he’s not guilty. so haters buzz off, specially that idiot sekhar, who shows that he’s a srk fan but infact he’s a lallu fan
sir if people are having fun on their own and some1 getting disturbd shudv left the scene without a delay. rather than fighting for peace and quiet.sekhar g home is only place u get such luxries.so next tym remember home is where u will find what your heart desires
Unfortunately..Iqbal’s statement seems more true..
I feel the statement of Iqbal Sharma is true. But these Hooligans Saif Ali Khan and his associates
should be severely punished and sent behind bar. He has raised his hand on Senior Citizen which he cannot do.. Even if he is an Actor he should have apoligised. He went further to show his girfriend
Kareena to show his attitude and character. It is a Shame on his partto do such an act. If he cannot respect Senior Citizen then he has no right to live in Mumbai India. He should go to Pakistan or Afghanstan. Such Character are unwanted in India and especially in Mumbai.
I think Saif Ali Khan’s statement is very articulate and artificial. It is a standard statement which is like from the rule book though the Sharma’s look more genuine to me. Anyway our Actors n Actresses are so hyped, they need to be toned down by law. They think they are ‘star’ all they are, are just another human being who will die evenutually like other human beings so respecting other’s is so very important. Also we as common people need to think how much importance should we give to all these Actor’s Politicians and Sports personalities (Cricketers). It is sad to see they are considered demi-gods while in their real life (in most cases) even demos would also be ashamed of their acts.
