Saif
has
just
completed
a
grueling
schedule
of
Yashraj
Films'
Tashan
in
Ladakh.
He
returns
to
stories
in
Mumbai
about
getting
into
a
'scuffle'
over
Kareena
with
rowdy
fans
in
Ladakh.
Says
Saif,
"That's
not
quite
correct.
Yes,
there
was
an
unpleasant
incident.
But
it
didn't
end
with
me
getting
physical
with
anyone."
So
what
happened?
"Some
guy
wanted
to
shake
hands
with
Kareena.
The
lady
didn't
want
to.
We
requested
the
'fan'
to
respect
her
feelings.
The
guy
chose
to
get
offended
and
called
five
of
his
friends."
Ever
since
Saif
and
Kareena
came
together
for
J.P.
Dutta's
LOC
they've
shared
a
very
special
bonding.
So
it
comes
as
no
surprise
if
Saif
stepped
in
to
rescue
Kareena
from
aggressive
fan
attention.
However
before
anything
untoward
could
happen
in
Ladakh,
Saif
and
the
Tashan
team
called
security.
Laughs
Saif,
"If
they
were
5,
we
called
11
persons
from
security.
For
a
while
there
was
a
loud
and
heated
argument
in
Marathi,
and
that
was
that.
However
let
me
repeat,
I
didn't
have
to
resort
to
physical
violence
to
protect
the
lady.
The
security
intervened
quickly."
Incidentally
Saif
has
grown
a
moustache
for
his
role
in
Tashan.
"It's
part
of
that
discipline
I've
acquired
during
Omkara.
There,
I
was
so
apprehensive
about
shaving
off
my
head.
Once
I
got
over
the
typical
star-vanity
of
looking
glamorous
I
realized
a
physical
makeover
makes
a
helluva
difference
to
the
characterization.

more
of
Saif's
altered
physicality
in
his
coming
films
