Mumbai, Feb 22 (IANS) Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who was arrested Wednesday evening after being embroiled in a scuffle with an NRI businessman and later released on bail, says his friends, including girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, were abused and he was assaulted.
“There was an ugly incident last night (Tuesday) where my friends and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted. I was hit and I defended myself,” Saif said in a statement.
The 41-year-old was virtually declared 'wanted' for assaulting South African NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma, who is also the director general and CEO of the Trade, Industry & Investments of South Africa.
He was charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly assaulting Sharma in the Taj Mahal Hotel around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning. Saif and two of his friends Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi, were arrested but they are now out on bail.
Saif says he has filed a complaint too.
“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,” he said.
“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,” added Saif.
Earlier Sharma told TimesNow television that Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining about the actor's loud conduct at a restaurant in the Taj Mahal Hotel.
He said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down. But the situation turned ugly.
Mumbai, Feb 24 (IANS) Salman Khan, who is back here after the shooting of "Ek Tha Tiger" in Cuba, Friday came out in support of his fellow actor Saif Ali Khan, saying that media should have waited for his version and dug out the facts before running what was carried on television.
"Even the press yesterday was all for the other guy. They didn't even bother to ask what happened to Saif. Did Saif got wacked first or not? We should have waited for Saif to come out and say what he had to say," Salman told reporters after he was aksed to comment on the incident.
"We are actors and we have been in the industry for the longest time. Saif has been in the industry for 18 years. We knew the guy," added the actor.
Salman is the face of the History channel and was attending the unveiling of TV 18's Big initiative.
Saif was involved in a scuffle early Wednesday at Wasabi, the Japanese restaurant at Taj Mahal Palace with South Africa-based Indian businessman Iqbal Sharma. The latter alleged that Saif abused and assaulted him and his father-in-law and filed a complained at the Colaba police station, the actor said he was provoked to do so.
Following Sharma's complain the 41-year-old actor was arrested Wednesday evening with two others -- Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi.
Police detained the trio at the Marine Drive police station and later brought them to the Colaba police station. The interrogation of the trio lasted an hour. Later, the actor and his two friends were freed on personal bonds of Rs.3,000 each.
According to Sharma, Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining about the actor's loud conduct at the restaurant. He said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down.
Salman said: "If you have gone into a restaurant, you are not there to manao matam (mourn). You are there to have dinner and drinks. My family was there, everybody was there. I am sure he (Sharma) might be right, but my point is that find out the entire thing and then come on TV."
When CNN-IBN editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai asked Salman if recently he created any historical moment by bashing up someone in a restaurant, Salman replied: "Other people are making history it seems."
The actor, who himself has been involved in hit and run case, and scuffles, says the blame always comes on actors.
Salman said: "Always the actors have been blamed, why so? It has always been us," he said.
Mumbai, Feb 22 (IANS) Amid high drama, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was arrested Wednesday evening with two others for assaulting an NRI businessman. All three were later released on bail after being interrogated, police said.
Police detained Saif and his friends Bilal Amrohi and actress Amrita Arora’s husband Shakeel Ladak at the Marine Drive police station, and later brought them to the Colaba police station. The interrogation of the trio – about the incident early Wednesday at the Taj Mahal Hotel in which Saif is accused of assaulting South African NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma – lasted one hour.
They were formally arrested and then given bail on personal bonds of Rs.3,000 each.
According to sources, Shakeel Ladak is said to have hit Sharma’s father-in-law in the scuffle.
Shakeel and Bilal’s lawyer Mahesh Vaswani told IANS: “Iqbal and his group of people were passing comments on the girls (who were part of Saif’s group), and that started the incident.”
On his part, Saif said he had only “defended” himself after being “assaulted”.
“There was an ugly incident last night (Tuesday) where my friends and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted. I was hit and I defended myself,” Saif said in a statement.
“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,” he added.
A battery of top police officers were waiting for the actor at the Colaba police station, besides the media and scores of fans.
In the afternoon, police sent a team to Saif’s house and after failing to locate him there, had ordered him to appear before them as early as possible.
Saif was virtually declared ‘wanted’ when he went incommunicado after assaulting Sharma, who is also the director general and CEO of the Trade, Industry & Investments of South Africa.
The actor has been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly assaulting Sharma in the Taj Mahal Hotel around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning. Police said a case of assault had been registered at the Colaba police station.
Police are also questioning staff at the hotel and examining the CCTV footage.
Legal experts that the offences for which Saif has been booked are bailable.
Sharma told TimesNow television that Saif called him an “idiot” for complaining about the actor’s loud conduct at a restaurant in the Taj Mahal Hotel.
He said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down.
Sharma said he and his family decided to move to another part of the restaurant downstairs.
“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””
Sharma said the actor first pushed him and then assaulted his father-in-law who fell on the stairs and bruised his jaw.
“It was an uncivilized way to behave in a public space,” Sharma said, adding that he intended to pursue the matter legally.
A police officer confirmed that Sharma and his guests had objected to the noise created by Saif and his friends.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight Tuesday.
Saif has been involved in public spats earlier too, including some photojournalists in Patiala in September 2008.
The actor has won the Padma Shri award, which did not go down well with the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan as he is accused of killing a blackbuck — an animal the Bishnois hold sacred. Saif was charged with poaching as the blackbuck is on the endangered list.
Mumbai, Feb 23 (IANS) Saif Ali Khan, who is in the midst of a controversy after a scuffle with an NRI businessman, says he could have used 'Gandhigiri' to sort out the matter peacefully, provided the situation allowed him to do so.
"I think I could have reacted to the incident using 'Gandhigiri'. But that time the situation was worse. I am not saying that I am totally innocent but I was not guilty alone," Saif told reporters here late Wednesday night.
The 41-year-old was arrested Wednesday evening with two others -- Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi for assaulting Iqbal Sharma, an Indian-origin businessman from South Africa, early Wednesday at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
The trio was released on bail after being interrogated.
Saif, however, rues that media is being partial in reporting about the incident.
"Media is being partial reporting about the incident. I was hit first. They misbehaved with us and even used abusive language. I have also lodged a complaint and the matter is in court so I request media not to give any biased report until court's decision comes," he added.
Sharma claimed that Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining about the actor's loud conduct at a restaurant in the Taj Mahal Hotel.
He said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down.
Sharma said he and his family then decided to move to another part of the restaurant downstairs.
"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?'"
Sharma said the actor first pushed him and then assaulted his father-in-law who fell on the stairs and bruised his jaw.
But Saif and his friends have a different story to tell.
According to sources, Amrita's businessman husband Shakeel is said to have hit Sharma's father-in-law in the scuffle, which began as Sharma's group passed comments about the ladies.
Mumbai, Feb 22 (IANS) Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was in trouble Wednesday after a South African businessman accused him of abusing and hitting him and his father-in-law at a five-star hotel here.
Police, who failed to trace Saif at his Bandra house Wednesday afternoon, later found him at his actress-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor's residence, a police officer said.
Police said a case of assault had been registered against the Bollywood actor at the Colaba police station.
Despite speculation that Saif would be brought to the police station, nothing happened for hours. Meanwhile, army of reporters assembled outside the police station and some even parked themselves outside Saif's residence.
The victim, Iqbal Sharma, who is of Indian origin, told TimesNow television that Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining about the actor's loud conduct at a restaurant in the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Sharma said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down.
Sharma said he and his family decided to move to another part of the restaurant downstairs.
"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?'"

"It was an uncivilized way to behave in a public space," Sharma said, adding that he intended to pursue the matter legally.
A police officer confirmed that Sharma and his guests had objected to the noise created by Saif and his friends.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight Tuesday.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh declined to say if the actor would be arrested.
Saif has been involved in public spats earlier too, including some photojournalists in Patiala in September 2008.
The actor has won the Padma Shri award, which did not go down well with the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan as he is accused of killing a blackbuck -- an animal the Bishnois hold sacred. Saif was charged with poaching as the blackbuck is on the endangered list.
Actor Saif Ali Khan has been sporting a paunch for a while now. In fact, ever since he was beset with health problems, the actor has been carrying the paunch. It seemed to have become an intrinsic part of him, almost like his flamboyant style. But it seems that the actor is now bent on doing something about that paunch.
The actor has hit the gym with a vengeance and is working out everyday. On the days that he has a shoot, Saif ensures that he manages to squeeze in an hour at least for cardio exercises.
With his close friends, the other two Khans, Salman and Shah Rukh having hit the gym with a vengeance, it is only natural to expect that Saif will do the same. Of course, it may also have something to do with a certain Bipasha Basu.
It is believed that Saif now frequents the same gym as hers in Bandra. A while ago, they had also been spotted working out together. So we wonder if this new-found zest for exercise is only motivated by the sight of his paunch or is it something else. Whatever be the reason, Saif will soon be rid of the paunch and will be back to sporting the lean mean look.
Saif and Kareena relationship is worsening day by day?
2008/5/27 23:12:27
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoors relationship is worsening day by day. Their romance may have run its race with Kareena finding Saif's unceasing attention oppressive rather that thrilling.
According to our source, insecure Saif keeps calling Kareena on her mobile to keep tab on her and recently while the two were in a party Saif even didnt let Kareena chat with her female friends.
This disturbed Kareena so much that she asked Saif to leave the party saying that his attention suffocated her.
Well, its really hard to understand this pretty lady since she had gone through a similar kind of problem in her past relationship with Shahid Kapoor. Over there, Kareena was the insecure one while Shahid was a chilled out guy.
We would have to wait and see how this relationship shapes up in the coming future. Meanwhile looking at their past we all know that both Saif and Kareena carry a baggage of failed relationships.
Saif Ali Khan is already laughing his way to the bank. The actor, who is known for playing cards neatly, has earned himself a handsome amount even before the Diwali night. With the festival season on, Saif has been indulging in card games with friends and relatives. Saif, who rarely loses to his opponents, made Rs 40,000 on Sunday night. A source close to the actor informs, On Sunday evening, Saif won Rs 40, 000. We are quite intimidated by his winning streak this season.
Close friends indicate that Saif usually settles for a game of flash and rummy. He hardly loses any money on a table. A source close to Saif informs that Saif indeed was lucky that day. Actually, he rarely loses when he plays cards. That day he won a good amount, but then he is mostly on the winning side.
Saif, who is a master card player doesn't confine himself to any particular group. He freely mingles between filmy and socialite circles. He likes to play cards, but he has no select group. He socialises with everybody when he is in a good mood. He has these phases. Like few days he will go out and meet everybody, but on the remaining days of every month he will keep to himself and shut off from the world, explains our source.
Saif has passed on his penchant for cards to his daughter Sara too. The story goes that as a child Sara would often play cards. Later Saif coached her and now she is well-versed in the rules of the game.
The source adds, Being lucky with cards runs in Saif's family. His daughter Sara is very lucky too. She plays for fun with her cousins and she rarely loses.
Saif Ali Khan says he has split with his long-time girlfriend Rosa.
"Rosa and I have decided to part ways. Yes, she has gone back home. That`s about all I want to say at the moment," he said.
Rosa left for her home in Switzerland a few days back. According to some of her friends, she`s expected back in Mumbai after some time to pursue a career independent of her association with Saif.
After Rosa`s departure Saif isn`t alone at home, though. He has son Ibrahim for company.
"I`m holding up fine. I want to spend as much time as possible with my children while I`m on this enforced vacation. By doctor`s orders I`m off work for this month. I`ll start going to the gym early next month and resume work by the middle of April.
"I can`t pretend that Rosa`s going hasn`t added to recent setbacks. But, it`s for the best, I guess," he said.
According to close friends, Saif is far more hurt by the split than he`s willing to admit.
"Things were getting sticky between them. And the split was for the best for both of them," said a close friend.
Good friends Bipasha Basu and Saif Ali Khan were spotted together once again last week-end. This time, the two were seen sweating it out together at a popular gym at Bandra. The buzz is that Saif has changed his gym preference and consequently given up his previous gym at Andheri.
Our khabroo spotted the two as they were working out at the gym together at Pali Naka in Bandra (West). Says an eyewitness, "It was a surprise to see both Bipasha and Saif at the gym. I have never seen them working out together before. They were on the treadmill in the lower level of the gym. I also bumped into Saif in the changing room."
When contacted, a spokesperson from the gym confirmed without divulging too many details, "Saif was earlier with our Andheri branch but recently he has shifted to the Bandra branch. That day Bipasha was working out at the gym, when Saif dropped in. He was around for some time and worked out with her."
Incidentally, earlier Bipasha used to work out at this gym regularly along with John Abraham. Yet over the last few weeks, John has gone completely missing. Saif seems to have taken over as Bipasha's gymming partner.
2011/9/23 8:33:24 Actor Saif Ali Khan Friday thanked friends, family and fans who extended support following his father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi's death. He said the late Indian cricket legend would've been overwhelmed with the love.
"I would just like to thank everyone for their kind wishes. I would also say that he (my father) would have been very touched by the support and the wonderful things that the media has said," Saif told reporters here, after Pataudi was laid to rest at his ancestral estate.
"I thank all his contemporaries and his fellow cricketers who have written such beautiful things in the papers, and indeed all his friends who have passed on their wishes to us. As a family, we thank you for your support," added the actor, who, along with a few close family members and friends, led Pataudi's cortege.
Pataudi passed away in New Delhi Thursday, after battling a lung infection. He was 70.
Dressed in a white kurta-pajama, Saif offered prayers with Muslim clerics before Pataudi's body was lowered into the grave, while Pataudi's wife -- veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, son Saif Ali Khan's partner Kareena Kapoor, and daughters Soha and Saba -- watched the burial from the first floor of the Pataudi palace. (IANS)
Saif Ali Khan has solemnised his affections for Kareena Kapoor in an unexpected way. He has got her name tattooed on his arm. Admitting for the first time to the permanent love mark, Saif says, Yes, Ive tattooed her name. Its on my forearm. And very visible to the world.
According to friends of both, he has never been more committed in a relationship. Marriage is definitely on the cards. A close friend explains, Theres a kind of fierce and single-minded determination in Saif to make this relationship work for keeps. And, it isnt a defiant determination to disprove the cynics who say it wont last. Saif doesnt give a damn about what people say. He has always gone by his gut feelings, regardless of others.
He adds, Earlier, after Rosa left, there were whispers of Saif being involved with various ladies. Saif doesnt like the image of the Casanova at all. He thinks hes too grown up for it. He wants stability in his life and a relationship thats for keeps. He believes he has found it in Kareena. Come what may, Saif will make this relationship work.
Earlier, when the couple was together in Bangkok shooting for Kunal Kohlis film, Saifs co-star Rani Mukerji was privy to many sessions of his outpourings on his love. Kareena and Saif then brought in the New Year in Hong Kong with Saif's two children.
Now shooting in Greece for Yash Raj Films Tashan, Saif and Kareena spend as much time together as possible, oblivious to all around, though they dont have too many scenes together in the film.
2008/5/24 23:59:18 Kareena is feeling smothered by Saifs constant attention. She wants him to back off and give her space
It had to happen sooner or later. Most of their friends said it would be sooner. Two volatile souls like Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor can never last together, a close friend of Kareena had whispered when she wasnt listening.
The inevitable has happened. There are cracks in the perfect passion already. If rumours floating out of the couples friendly circle are to be believed, Kareena and Saif are constantly having problems, and it isnt Saifs fault, really. Not yet.
Says a source, Saif is constantly crowding her for attention. Nowadays, if you see him on his cellphone, which is most of the time, hes only talking to Kareena. Saif has stopped communicating almost completely with all his family and friends. He never was someone to call up his parents.
Now even his mother doesnt hear from him for weeks. Soha of course, never heard from him anyway. So thats no different. In fact, when Soha heard that her brother was at the premiere of Saawariya (with Kareena, of course) she said, I wish I knew, I couldve met him.
Dropping all communication with the rest of the world Saif has now found himself a constant preoccupation. Keeping tabs on the love of his life, and accompanying her to events all over the country which have nothing to do with him.
Says the source, Kareena likes her space. Shes very giving in love, but doesnt want her man to constantly question her. Thats what Saif is doing. She gets what-are-you-doing where-are-you calls from Saif throughout the day. Initially she enjoyed all the attention.
Who wouldnt? But now its began to take its toll on her nerves. More than Kareena, its her mother Babita whos worried and angry that Saifs ceaseless trailing may affect her career.
Friends say, Kareena has asked her beau to back off a bit. Quite a bit.
But Saif is Saif. When hes in love hes nothing else. Ironically, he used to complain about Rozzas constant attention. Today hes behaving exactly the way that put him off her for good.
Hounding Kareena with his attention. She cant help remember Shahids laidback easy-does-it gentle attention, says the source.
So where does the relationship stand? Well its a little shaky. But nothing alarming yet. All Saif needs to do is give Bebo the space to find her pace.
Otherwise hed have to get another girlfriend with a name similar to Kareena so he can get the tattoo re-done without too much pain, says a friend.
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan continue to be an item. The duo was out and about in the suburbs on Saturday evening. After a long discussion, they walked in together (almost hand-in-hand) at the VIP lounge of a popular Chinese restaurant. Like most celebrity couples, they seemed to be extremely comfortable with each other, say onlookers.
A guest present at the restaurant says, "They were behaving like a couple. They were lost in some discussion and were completely oblivious about their surroundings and onlookers."
Once at their table, the duo who was accompanied by friends Dino Morea and Amrita Arora, sat very close to each other.
Kareena and Saif also indulged in some serious PDA. Saif kept hugging her throughout the evening, and they left together. A restaurant staff informs, "Kareena seemed to be distressed and Saif was consoling her. He was often complimenting and hugging her. Their friends also took care to give them the much-needed privacy."
Kareena and Saif, were dressed in casual tees and denims, and were engaged in a conversation with the occasional remark, 'Yeah, you are right!' meant for the rest seated with them at the table.
Kareena and Saif got along well on the sets of Tashan, and ever since they have spending a lot of time with each other. However, Kareena is maintaining a stoic silence over her relationship with Shahid Kapur who is currently filming in Toronto.
A source close to Kareena says, "Kareena and Saif are extremely fond of each other and the duo are spending a lot of time with together. She has also been vocal about Saif's good nature to a few of us." mumbai news
Saif and Bebo's affair has admittedly brought out a new person in the Chote Nawab
We dont know whether Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoors love story will have a happy ending but, from what we hear, Saif has taken up drinking again though occasionally.
For all those late comers, Saif had called it quits to smoking and drinking after he was admitted to Lilavati hospital. We hope that with teetotaller Kareena for company Saif has become a safe drinker!
If his performance at the Zee Cine Awards a fews days ago wasnt proof enough of his return to good health, here comes confirmation of the same from a very reliable source. Says the actors baby sister Soha Ali Khan, Saif is doing fine. His health is good and hes recovered really fast.
The Rang De Basanti star admits though that the family was under great stress when Saif was hospitalised for chest pain. However, she says, the episode did have its positive side the biggest one being Saif giving up smoking.
Saif cant smoke now. If he does, it will be reported or people will go straight to our mother and tell her what he has been up to, she smiles, referring to mum Sharmila Tagores strict orders to Saif to give up the death stick.
However, she rubbishes rumours of her brother getting back to his old habits. Saif has quit smoking. He surely is not allowed to smoke under my watch. Also, as I said earlier, its become very tough for Saif to smoke. If he is caught smoking, we will get to know, she says.
So, when shes not keeping a watchful eye on her brother, what is the pretty young actor up to? Ive just finished shooting Prakash Jhas film Khoya Khoya Chand with Shiney Ahuja and will soon start work on two more films one is a Sudhir Mishra film and the other a UTV production, she says.
And if you havent seen too much of her of late, she has a reason: I will only accept substantial roles. I will not act in films where women are just props or accessories. And, at present, Im not excited about the roles that are coming my way. Thats okay, though, Im really not in any hurry.
Finally, we dare to ask her once more is she dating Dharmendras nephew Abhay Deol? We are just friends. I am a person who makes friends with people I work with. Is that wrong? she retorts.
Though he already doesnt have a bad physique, actor Saif Ali Khan wants to better it further.
Saif seems to be reinventing himself after his split with Rosa. The actor, back into his bachelor days, has also quit smoking after the chest pain that got him admitted to hospital for a week.
Now, Saif says he wants to concentrate on his acting career. He also wants to rediscover his onscreen image.
The actor has said in an interview that he wants to look like a sexy moviestar.
Although we believe he already does, but Saif is planning to devote more time to workout. He wants to build his body further.
However, Saif says he is not competing with any other actor in this respect. He is bodybuilding for his own sake.
We've seen Saif Ali Khan nursing an injured hand ever since he returned to India from the shooting schedule of Tashan in Greece. When asked, he has been saying that he hurt himself with a piece of glass.
But now we've unearthed the real story of Saif's injured hand!
Our sources tell us that while in Greece, Saif decided to get truly filmi in his declaration of love for Bebo. The story goes that one day all the cast and crew members of the film were relaxing after pack-up, when the topic of conversation turned from casual chat to Saif and Bebo's relationship. The scene took a different turn when some of the couple's friends suddenly asked Saif to prove his love for Bebo.
Says our source, Bebo's friends were casually chatting and laughing with the couple. Suddenly, one of them came up with a wacky demand. They started coaxing Saif to prove to them that he loves Bebo very much. They asked him, 'What is the craziest thing you can do for her?' while a much-amused Kareena looked on. Naturally she too was eager to know what Saif would do to prove his love for her.
What followed, left everyone dumb-struck. Says our source, Saif, in response to all the banter, impulsively picked up a knife lying nearby and slit his palm. Kareena and his friends were shocked to see his bleeding palm.
Later, Saif couldn't hide the wound. Nor could he tell the world how he had injured his hand. That's when he came up with a plausible excuse. The next day Saif came to the sets with a bandana tied on his palm. When people questioned him, he said that he had hurt his hand with a piece of broken glass the previous day, adds the source.
What Saif did left no one in doubt that he is crazy (about Kareena?) According to our source, Getting Saif and Kareena out of their vanity van was a task! The two refused to come out when they were cosying up in their vanity van, even as the crew waited for them. It was also irritating for the crew as arranging the lights, sets etc on outdoors is quite a task and everything is time bound.
Later, however, all the bloody romance fizzled out as the couple had a huge fight on the last day of the schedule. Says the source, On the last day of the schedule, Bebo and Saif had a tiff, after which Saif repeatedly tried calling Bebo who was in her van. But she didn't answer his calls. Finally Saif tried calling the make-up artist and hair dresser, in order to get in touch with Bebo. But Bebo had given strict instructions to them too not to answer his calls. Kabhie khushi, kabhi gham?
Saif Ali Khan booked for assaulting patron in Taj hotel
2012/2/22 2:38:45 Mumbai, Feb 22 (IANS) Mumbai police early Wednesday registered a case against Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan for allegedly assaulting a patron in the Taj Mahal Hotel in south Mumbai, police said.
"A team of officers has gone to Saif's residence for further investigations and the further course will be decided later," Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh of the Colaba region, which lodged the complaint, told IANS.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight Tuesday when Saif, along with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and some other friends, was sitting in the Wasabi Restaurant at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Disturbed by their ruckus, the patron, Iqbal Sharma requested them to keep their voices down.
Apparently enraged by this, Saif allegedly punched Sharma on the face, reportedly breaking his nose.
Later, Sharma went to the Colaba police station and lodged a complaint against Saif.
Saif has been booked under, among others, Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code (assault), but Shaikh declined to specify whether he would be arrested, saying: "Investigations are in progress."
Most of the actors in Bollywood have walked ramp to promote the work of their fashion designer friends. Here is one more Bollywood star all set to put the ramp on fire. After displaying his talent onscreen, Bollywood Saif Ali Khan is all set to make his debut on the fashion ramp.
He will walk on the ramp for the first time to endorse a brand. He has just returned to Mumbai from a lengthy schedule of Abbas-Mustan's Race Saif informs that he is quite nervous as he has never done this before. He believes in experimenting and doing something new or different every time. He feels that he is bit nervous but ramp walking will not be difficult for him. Former model, Mehr Jessia has choreographed the show.
With his first film as a producer, Love Aaj Kal, Saif Ali Khan introduced Giselli Monteiro to Bollywood. However she wasn't revealed until the movie released. Saif is all set to repeat this technique in his next venture Cocktail.
Our source said, "Cocktail is directed by Homi Adjania and apart from Deepika, there is another actress in the film.
While there were rumours that Kareena would be playing the part, the fact is that there is a new actress from London, who will be making her debut in the film. Saif wants to keep the actress under wraps until the film releases."
Confirming the news Saif said, "Yes it is true. But we are only 70% done with Cocktail and after that we have Agent Vinod. Right now, I am concentrating on Aarakshan. We will speak about it when the film is ready.
Actor Saif Ali Khan Friday thanked friends, family and fans who extended support following his father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi's death. He said the late Indian cricket legend would've been overwhelmed with the love.
