Saif Ali Khan says reports of him getting into the fight at Lucknow airport are completely untrue
Upala KBR (DNA; March 24, 2013)
Saif Ali Khan is irritated with media reports about his alleged altercation with Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at Lucknow’s Chowdhary Charan Singh airport.
The reports suggested that the actor-producer was involved in a fight with security personnel at the airport when he was asked to vacate the VIP lounge. Saif is currently shooting in Lucknow for Bullet Raja and was enroute Delhi on Friday morning. According to the rumours, he was sitting at the VIP lounge when a CISF personnel approached him and asked him to leave as only dignitaries and those authorised by the government occupy that lounge. It is alleged that the actor refused to leave and a verbal pow wow broke out between the two. The situation was brought into control when some senior officials intervened.
Saif is aghast at the rumours. He fumes, “All these rumours are fabricated! I came to the airport and checked in Jet Airways. The airlines staff directed me to a lounge which was completely empty. I was sitting in the lounge, reading a book, when two guys from the airline came and told me I should sit somewhere else as the lounge was only for VIP’s authorised by the government. I smiled and left immediately. I went and sat in one of the public areas outside and I think the airport authorities got worried on seeing me seated there. Maybe they thought I was offended. More >

Newcomer Prashant Kumar who hails from New York and has always wanted to make it big in Bollywood is all set to realise his dream. He initially landed small parts in a Rajshri film and a horror flick, but now Prashant is being offered lead roles, primarily due to strong references. He will be seen in debutant Vivek Anand’s adventure comedy With Love From Kazakhstan. Vivek has been the writer on Studio 18’s Dil Kabaddi, chief AD on Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail and line producer on Tanu Weds Manu. Prashant has also bagged the lead role in Dinesh Kumar’s untitled film, which is apparently inspired by the life of a current superstar. He is also playing the lead in a comedy film that pits him against two veteran stars, formal announcement to follow. “From my first performance on stage at the age of three to a decade since my first day of acting school, I have endured a colossal struggle. Eventually, people hear about you and see your work, things then begin to click overnight,” says Prashant.
