On February 21, 2012, Saif was enjoying dinner with Malaika, Amrita, and other friends at the upscale Taj Hotel in Mumbai, and that is when they got into a heated argument with an NRI. The NRI, who was a South African national, was identified as Iqbal Mir Sharma. The argument was followed by a scuffle between Saif and Sharma.

Later, Sharma filed a complaint with the Colaba police, in which he claimed that Saif, Amrita’s husband Shakil Ladak, and another friend named Bilal Amrohi punched him in the face, resulting in a fractured nose. Malaika has not yet reacted to the recent court order against her. Meanwhile, Amrita, in her statement recorded before the magistrate court on March 29, revealed some details from the night the incident took place.

Amrita recounted that it was Sharma who had first barged into their private enclosure and had asked them to “shut up.” Saif had immediately apologised, the actress said, but later, raised voices were heard when the Race actor went to the washroom. Later, Sharma entered their enclosure once again and hit Saif, and that is when the men got into a full-blown fight, Amrita said.
