However, girlfriend Kareena Kapoor has spoken up for him Saif Ali Khan might have apologised for his behaviour but it doesn’t mean he is entirely out of trouble. The Mumbai police probing last week’s midnight brawl involving Saif said his counter complaint against the South African businessman Iqbal Sharma does not carry 'much weight' as the Bollywood actor had not suffered any injury.

Khan, according to investigators, has also not submitted any medical report to corroborate his claim that he too got injured during the fracas while acting in self-defence after being first hit by Sharma. "While recording his statement, Saif repeatedly claimed that Sharma was the first to hit him. But he also mentioned he reacted to defend himself. That is enough for us to say he had punched Sharma," said an investigating officer at Colaba police station. "Moreover, Saif's complaint against Sharma does not hold much weight as he had no injuries," the officer added.

Amid high drama, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was arrested last Wednesday with two others for assaulting an NRI businessman. All three were later released on bail after being interrogated. The police have recorded the statement of witnesses at the Taj Mahal hotel who were either present during the brawl at 'Wasabi' restaurant or had rushed to the spot on hearing the commotion.

Investigators, who had pinned their hopes on CCTV footage for evidence against Khan, were left disappointed when they were told yesterday that there were no video cameras installed in the area where the brawl had taken place. Meanwhile, Sharma has apparently left for South Africa for some work after obtaining permission from the police.

While the world is still divided over who’s right and who’s wrong in the entire episode, Saif has full support of his lady love Kareena Kapoor. She said, “I haven’t spoken about what happened that night, but now I feel I should because whatever is being said is completely one-sided. This man (Iqbal Sharma) is publicity-hungry. How can a man with a broken nose and jaw speak continuously on TV for more than 10 hours? Saif was provoked. He’s a thorough gentleman and would never get into a brawl, especially with women around.” According to Kareena, it was Iqbal Sharma who came to their table and started shouting at them. She also said that Saif Ali Khan said sorry to him but still Iqbal Sharma continued with his grudge.
