Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has landed into troubled waters. The actor got right into a scuffle with South African NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma, who's also the director general and CEO of the Trade, Industry & Investments of South Africa, and was also arrested Wednesday with his teo friends, Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi. He was charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly assaulting Sharma within the Taj Mahal Hotel around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Saif has now been released on bail and complains that his friends, including girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, were abused and he was assaulted.
“There was an unsightly incident last night (Tuesday) where my friends and the women with us were abused and that i was assaulted. I USED TO BE hit and that i defended myself,” Saif said in a statement.
Now, Saif has also filed a complaint and says, “I has been to the police station to respond to the necessities of law as I'M a law abiding citizen. I'VE also filed a complaint about what happened last night and i'm confident justice can be done.”
“I have seen the interviews given on TV and so they seem like decent people and that i cannot believe that the similar people were so aggressive the night before and the lies that they're saying about me with such straight faces. I FEEL they have got the CCTV footage within the restaurant with the intention to prove everything.
I hope the media is in a position to remain impartial while the problem is being decided. I don`t think any gentleman would have behaved differently,” he added.
