If we know one thing about the Indian judicial system it’s the fact that justice is never delivered immediately. Thousands and thousands of cases remain pending and awaiting a verdict from the court. Whether it is a case of theft or rape or murder, it takes years to get a verdict. So Sunny Deol’s famous dialogue ‘taarik pe taarik’ holds true even today.
In 1998, Salman Khan was accused of poaching two blackbucks while shooting for ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai’. Along with him, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Saif Ali Khan were the co-accused in the case. On Wednesday, the actors were spotted at Jodhpur airport ahead of the court hearing.
When the reporters approached Saif Ali Khan and huddled around his car with questions regarding the blackbuck case, the Nawab of Pataudi lost his cool.
He asked the driver, rather rudely, to roll up the window or he’ll hit him. His exact words were,
“Sheehsa upar karo aur reverse kar lo warna padegi ek (Roll up the car window and reverse back, or I will hit you).”
The whole thing was captured on camera and you can see the video here.

Twitterati was clearly not happy with seeing this side of Saif and they expressed it too.
1. It’s all a mask.
This is the real face behind all that fan waving and fake smiles on camera.😨

2. Last I checked, he was still labelled a ‘Nawab’.
Absolutely! Everything that glitters is not gold. That’s no way to talk to your employee. What a shame! He belongs to a royal family? 🙄https://t.co/xDpbUsEQ1U

5. Talking about career graphs now…
You would expect a Nawab with a private school education to have some manners & etiquette. But sadly he’s got no class. That’s why he’s where he is career wise

On one hand, he’s human and is allowed to get annoyed with the questioned he was being bombarded with. But that is no excuse to threaten someone or talk as rudely as he did.
What do you think?
