Actress Amrita Arora Ladak recently testified as a witness in the ongoing case against actor Saif Ali Khan, her husband Shakeel Ladak, and their friend Bilal Amrohi. The case pertains to a 2012 altercation at a five-star hotel, where businessman Iqbal Sharma accused the trio of assaulting him and his brother-in-law, Raman Patel.

Speaking to NDTV, Amrita detailed the events of that night, asserting that the incident began when an unknown individual aggressively confronted their group. “We saw someone barging into our enclosure and, in a very loud, aggressive voice, told us to shut up and keep quiet. We all got shocked at what was happening,” she stated. Amrita further claimed that Saif Ali Khan responded to the situation with an apology, standing up immediately to diffuse the tension.

The altercation reportedly involved Sharma accusing Saif and his friends of behaving aggressively and abusing him. He further alleged that the actor punched him, breaking his nose, and also attacked his brother-in-law Raman Patel. The businessman lodged a police complaint soon after the incident, leading to charges of assault and criminal intimidation against Saif and his associates.

However, Saif Ali Khan has consistently maintained that he acted in self-defence. According to him, the altercation escalated only after Sharma allegedly made derogatory remarks about the women in the group, which included Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, and Amrita Arora. The actor claimed that Sharma’s comments were offensive, and he responded in their defense.

The case has been ongoing for over a decade, with multiple court hearings. Amrita’s testimony supports Saif’s version of events, emphasizing that the situation began with Sharma’s aggressive approach. The court is expected to review witness statements before arriving at a final verdict. The incident continues to generate public interest, as the legal battle unfolds with statements from both parties shedding light on different perspectives of what transpired that night.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
