Saif Ali Khan found himself in trouble in Patiala

Actor Saif Ali Khan found himself in trouble when he messed up with some journalist photographers during the shoot of his forthcoming ‘3 Idiots’ in Patiala. It all triggered off when two photo journalists, one belonging to a newspaper and the other to local TV news channel, tried to click photographs of Saif at the railway station where the shooting of the film was on. Khan objected to two photojournalists getting too close; as a result, his security staff allegedly harassed the photographers and took away their cameras.

“I was doing the photo shoot, Saif came in front called for his guards and asked them to take me aside and beat me up,” says photo journalist, Pawan Patialvi.The actor lodged a complaint against them with the railway police station of Patiala. Several media persons assembled on the Mall Road on Sunday night and demanded action against Saif. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who is town for for a function, sent his political colleagues Prem Singh Chandumajra of Shiromani Akali Dal and Raj Khurana of BJP to pacify the journalists. The journalists later withdrew their protest.

On Monday evening, the actor issued a formal apology and also cleared his stance regarding the issue.“I apologise as a producer. As an individual I would like to say that the allegation that he was beaten up on my orders is not correct at all,” says actor Saif Ali Khan.
