Saif Ali Khan, who's in the course of an issue after a scuffle with an NRI businessman, says he may have used 'Gandhigiri' to deal with the problem peacefully, provided the location allowed him to do so.
"I think I'LL have reacted to the incident using 'Gandhigiri'. But that point the location was worse. IT'S NOT THAT I AM saying that i'm totally innocent but I USED TO BE not guilty alone," Saif told reporters here late Wednesday night.
The 41-year-old was arrested Wednesday evening with two others -- Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi for assaulting Iqbal Sharma, an Indian-origin businessman from South Africa, early Wednesday on the Taj Mahal Hotel.
The trio was released on bail after being interrogated.
Saif, however, rues that media is being partial in reporting in regards to the incident.
"Media is being partial reporting in regards to the incident. I USED TO BE hit first. They misbehaved with us or even used abusive language. I'VE also lodged a complaint and the problem is in court so I request media to not give any biased report until court's decision comes," he added.
Sharma claimed that Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining in regards to the actor's loud conduct at a restaurant within the Taj Mahal Hotel.
He said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to invite Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to maintain their voices down.
Sharma said he and his family then decided to transport to a different a part of the restaurant downstairs.
"As we were happening the stairs, Saif was coming up, probably from the bathroom. As he passed me, he called me an idiot and asked 'Do you already know who I am?'"
Sharma said the actor first pushed him after which assaulted his father-in-law who fell at the stairs and bruised his jaw.
But Saif and his friends have a special story to tell.
According to sources, Amrita's businessman husband Shakeel is alleged to have hit Sharma's father-in-law within the scuffle, which began as Sharma's group passed comments in regards to the ladies.
