Saif denies airport tiff rumors

22nd March 2013

A few hours back it was reported that actor Saif Ali Khan got into an argument at Lucknow airport for waiting at the VIP lounge.

Apparently, it is heard that Saif was waiting for his flight in the VIP lounge when a security personnel came over and asked him to leave as his name was not in the list.

Saif, upset with these rumors immediately clarified the same stating, "This is totally baseless. There was no related stories tiff of any kind. What has come out as 'news' is in fact totally distorted. It was a polite conversation and nothing as dramatic as what is being put on print actually happened at all."

Instead it was Viveck Anand, Joint General Manager - Operations at the airport, who reached out to Saif immediately after and they spent some time together over tea. "We have known each other for 20 years and he is a good friend of mine. We had tea together," added Saif.

He went on to say that he would definitely sue the media agency for spreading these rumors. "Guess it is an overzealous reporter at play here who has distorted the entire fact," said Saif.

"It is weird that media has come down to this level. I am inclined to take an action now and my lawyers are working on suing the ones responsible behind this news-piece. Stories like these are damaging," Saif further added.

On contacting Mr. Anand, he too clarified saying nothing happened. "Mr. Khan didn't misbehave with anyone at the airport. In fact it was a pleasure meeting him. I look forward to seeing him soon," Viveck said.
