Saif
Ali
Khan,
actor,
producer
and
husband
of
Kareena
Kapoor
have
got
embroiled
in
yet
another
controversy.
If
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
a
demand
was
placed
to
strip
away
the
Padma
Shri
honour
from
Saif.
On
March
14,
S
C
Agrawal,
an
RTI
activist,
had
filed
a
complaint
with
the
Union
Home
Ministry
demanding
stripping
Saif
of
the
award
as
the
Mumbai
court
had
framed
charges
against
him
for
alleged
brawl
in
a
restaurant
there.
Agarwal
had
written,
"It
refers
to
charges
framed
against
Saif
Ali
Khan
by
a
Mumbai-court
for
scuffle
in
a
Mumbai-restaurant.
Film-actor
is
already
facing
several
other
criminal
cases
against
him.
An
RTI
response
revealed
that
Saif
Ali
Khan
involved
in
many
criminal
cases
was
recommended
for
Padma
awards
by
'Awards
Committee'
in
its
meeting
without
mentioning
name
of
member
of
Awards
Committee
having
recommended
his
name.
Significantly
senior
government-officers
and
eminent
personalities
from
different
fields
are
members
of
the
Awards
Committee,
and
all
the
recommended
names
are
to
be
cleared
by
several
intelligence-agencies
before
being
announced
for
Padma
awards
on
Republic-Day
eve."
But
in
the
wake
of
new
developments
in
the
case,
the
home
ministry
on
Thursday
denied
any
move
to
strip
actor
Saif
Ali
Khan
of
his
Padma
Shri
award,
conferred
on
him
in
2010,
in
the
wake
of
a
Mumbai
court
framing
charges
against
him
for
assaulting
an
NRI
businessman
at
a
city
hotel.
Saif,
son
of
actress
Sharmila
Tagore
and
late
cricketer
M
A
K
Pataudi
and
married
to
actress
Kareena
Kapoor,
has
also
been
charged
by
a
Jodhpur
court
in
the
1998
blackbuck
shooting
case.
So
with
so
many
controversies
in
his
life,
Agarwal
had
made
such
a
complaint.
These
two
are
not
the
only
controversies
of
his
life,
check
out
the
other
controversial
incidents
in
the
Nawab
of
Pataudi's
life.
In
2013
Saif
Ali
Khan
was
asked
to
vacate
the
VIP
lounge
after
he
refused
to
follow
the
instructions
and
started
arguing.
In
2008
During
the
shooting
of
Love
Aaj
Kal,
Khan
allegedly
assaulted
a
photographer
named
Pawan
Sharma.
In
1998
He
was
charged
with
poaching
two
black
bucks
during
the
filming
of
the
movie
Hum
Saath
Saath
Hain
along
with
co-stars
Salman
Khan,
Tabu,
Sonali
Bendre
and
Neelam.
In
1995

Kavi
claimed
that
Saif
Ali
Khan
beat
him
up
inside
his
house
and
assaulted
his
mother
too,
who
fell
down
from
his
attack.
In
1994

bashed
up
