The 2012 hotel brawl case involving Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has resurfaced in the news following recent courtroom activities. A local court has reissued a bailable warrant for actress Malaika Arora in relation to this high-profile incident. The Arora sisters, Malaika and Amrita, were key witnesses in the altercation that occurred in a posh South Mumbai hotel, where Saif allegedly engaged in a scuffle with a non-resident Indian (NRI), Iqbal Mir Sharma. Despite multiple summons over the years, the sisters’ attendance has been inconsistent, leading to the latest court order. On March 29, Amrita appeared in court to testify, while Malaika’s appearance is still pending.
Back on February 21, 2012, Saif Ali Khan was dining with Malaika, Amrita, and friends at the upscale Taj Hotel in Mumbai. The gathering turned into an altercation with Sharma, identified as a South African national. According to the complaint he filed, Saif, along with Amrita’s husband Shakil Ladak and friend Bilal Amrohi, allegedly assaulted Sharma, causing a fractured nose. The police report narrated that tensions rose leading to a physical altercation.
The latest developments saw Amrita Arora revealing new insights during her court deposition. She detailed that Sharma initially entered their private space, telling the group to “shut up.” Although Saif reportedly apologized, tensions escalated when raised voices were heard after he went to the restroom. Amrita testified that Sharma re-entered their domain, and a fight ensued after he allegedly struck Saif.
Malaika Arora has not yet commented on the court’s recent decision regarding her. Meanwhile, Amrita’s account paints a tense picture of that night, offering a perspective that raises questions about the true sequence of events. The court’s decision to reissue the warrant and Amrita’s testimony place renewed focus on the incident, a reminder of the ongoing legal and personal implications for those involved. As the case moves forward, all eyes remain on the developments surrounding Saif Ali Khan and the involved parties, with the public eagerly awaiting the next courtroom revelations.
