Several
Bollywood
celebrities
have
extended
their
support
to
actor
Saif
Ali
Khan,
who
was
recently
arrested
for
assaulting
an
NRI
businessman
Iqbal
Sharma
and
later
released
on
bail.
On
Twitter,
stars
like
Amrita
Arora,
Farah
Ali
Khan,
Kunal
Kohli,
Shobhaa
De
and
a
few
others
sympathised
with
the
actor.
Amrita
Arora,
who
was
present
at
the
location
of
the
tiff,
said,
“It"s
sad
that
celebs
become
victims
of
other
people
wanting
their
15
minutes
of
fame.
Just
for
the
record,
if
the
people
concerned
were
assaulted
so
badly,
how
come
they
were
fit
enough
to
be
on
TV
giving
interviews
all
day?"
On
Twitter,
jewellery
designer
Farah
Ali
Khan
also
defended
Saif
Ali
Khan.
Farah
quipped,
“There
is
something
amiss
in
this
incident
and
I"m
sure
the
facts
will
come
out
soon.
It"s
very
unlike
Saif
to
hit
an
elderly
man
or
provoke
a
fight."
Filmmaker
Kunal
Kohli,
who
has
earlier
worked
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
Hum
Tum,
tweeted,
“Saif
explained
the
whole
incident
on
TV
just
now.
It"s
unfair
to
tilt
opinions
against
anyone
just
because
he"s
a
star."
He
added,
“Without
knowing
Saif"s
side
of
what
happened
how
can
anyone
just
believe
what
this
guys
saying
is
true."
Singer-composer
Vishal
Dadlani
tweeted,
“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."
He
added,
“Unlikely
that
Saif
hit
that
guy
without
extreme
provocation.
At
times
hecklers
get
so
obnoxious/personal/
aggressive,
that
one
has
to
react."
Director
Anubhav
Sinha
wrote,
“TV
Celebrating
Saif"s
Pdmashree
tonight
more
than
ever
before.
Makes
for
good
sensation.
Anyone
interested
in
what
actually
happened?"
He
added,
“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."
Meanwhile,
writer
Shobhaa
De
cracked
a
joke
about
the
South
African
NRI
businessman
Iqbal
Sharma"s
broken
nose.
“Some
guys
refuse
to
play
it
'saif"!
What
to
do?
Agent
Iqbal
may
help
Agent
Vinod
break
records,
not
noses."
