'Saif hit me and my mother too'

By Yahoo! India Movies | Yahoo! India Movies – Thu 23 Feb, 2012 12:18 AM IST

Gay activist Ashok Row Kavi recounts the horror of being bashed up by Saif Ali Khanin 1995

Saif Ali Khan is a spoilt kid. That's what the long and short of it is. Firstly, nobody knows what provokes him. That disgusting morning in 1995, my doorbell rang at Santacruz and a friend opened the door. I saw Saif standing outside the safety grill and made the mistake of opening the door.

That was the first mistake. I thought he wanted to discuss whatever he had said the day before to me regarding a review of his film in 'Bombay Dost' the gay magazine I edit and publish. The review said that his latest film, the iconic 'Main Anadi, Tu Khiladi', was a straightforward gay movie (that's a bit of a Freudian slip) because the two heroes were so much in love with each other that the heroines were superfluous. I had recommended it as India's entry to the San Francisco Sundance Festival and that seems to have set off a huge bout of hysterical homophobia. He said so on the phone.

But the last straw for him was the fact that I had mocked his mother Sharmila Tagore, the darling of the Bombay-Delhi glitterati, in the ill-fated 'Nikki Tonite' show on Star TV, just a week before. 'Nikki Tonite' was India's first chat show hosted by Kabir Bedi's ex-wife in the 1990s.

I requested him to sit down instead of pacing up and down my living room like a caged panther. Instead, he just suddenly turned around and hit me on the side of my face. It was a totally unexpected move and I went for him. Unfortunately my mother tried to calm him down. Instead of trying to calm down, Saif hit her too and she fell down.

That was inexcusable and showed a crass upbringing. I don't know about all that Chotey Nawab-giri that the fawning film media goes on about but let me say that on that day I saw the ugly side of Bollywood. I've grown up in Bollywood and my father was one of the first presidents of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association and also started the Motion Pictures Distributors' Association before Bollywood descended to become the cesspool the Khans have brought it down to.

I've seen the great Meena Kumari totally drunk but boy did she know how to behave. Men like Raj Kapoor would have drunk Saif under any table but they always respected women in public spaces. This trash is different.

The real story is how the police delayed taking down the FIR or even serving the court warrants on him. It seems he paid off the constable and told them he wasn't in town or abroad. It took one full year to serve a warrant on him and another to bring him to the Bandra Metropolitan Court. Finally, I did manage to put him into a pen there meant for petty thieves and criminals. Imagine my shock when he apologised in open court. It was a horrible anticlimax; that I had fought for three years to squeeze out a simple apology out of the creep.

Bollywood Supports Saif Ali Khan

Here's what your favourite Bollywood celebrities are tweeting.

Stars tweeted their reactions about the brawl between Saif Ali Khan and NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, which led to a police case against the actor.

Actress Amrita Arora, who was with Saif when the incident happened, defended her husband Shakeel Ladak who is also reportedly involved in the scuffle. 'Some tweeps havin a field day sl*gging of my husband n saif…if only they knew the truth….well we do, n now everybody does. Truth prevails! Its sad that celebs become victims of other people wantin their 15 mins of fame…. Jst for the record,if the people concerned were assaulted so badly,hw come they were fit enuf to b on tv givin ontrviews all day…. Y is that r people had physical eveidence n they don't,' she tweeted.

Jewellery designer Farah Ali Khan felt it was very unlike Saif. 'In the Saif – Sharma scuffle d part I find fishy is where Sharma states Saif told him "do u know who I am". Very unlike Saif. Celebrities are often targeted when they are out in public & usually in d company of their woman. Have bn witness to 1 such incident yrs ago. There is something amiss in ths incident &I'm sure d facts will come out soon.It's very unlike Saif to hit an elderly man or provoke a fight. The thing about public opinion is it is so easily judgemental & biased by media reporting. You are guilty before u can be proved otherwise,' she updated.

Kunal Kohli felt media was tilting against Saif because he was a star. 'Saif explained the whole incident on tv just now. It's unfair to tilt opinions against anyone just because he's a star. Without knowing Saif's side of what happened how can anyone just believe what this guys saying is true,' he tweeted.

Music composer Vishal Dadlani wrote: 'Let me put it this way. If saif was provoked or hit first, i think he did what many of us would do. By 'us', i mean myself and you guys.'

Director Anubhav Sinha thinks media is using Saif's Padmashree status to sensationalize. 'TV Celebrating Saif's Pdmashree tonight more than ever before.Makes for good sensation.Anyone interested in what actually happened? Have personally seen stars take a lot of shit because they MUST behave responsibly. I am sure this coin has two sides too. I mustn't take sides if I don't know the whole story. NOR SHOULD YOU,' he wrote.

Author Shobhaa De tweeted: 'Some guys refuse to play it 'saif'! What to do?Agent Iqbal may help Agent Vinod break records, not noses!'

Sherlyn Chopra wrote: 'Guess, Saif didn't play safe this time! Or may be he was provoked!'

These Bollywood hangers on and famous-by-relationship people really should keep quiet about this one. They're only going to make themselves and their industry look reeeaaallly skanky in the wider world.
