It is generally accepted that that celebrities have the licence to throw their weight around, and get away with it

Putting a conclusion to all controversies regarding his alleged noisy quarrel with Central Industry Security Force (CISF) officials at the Lucknow airport, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan now revealed his part of real story behind the "rumours".

A report on NDTV quoted Saif as saying, that he was at the airport to fly from Lucknow to Delhi on a Jet Airways flight when the officials of the airline guided him to a lounge and he sat there reading his book. As soon as he sat down, two security officials asked him to move out, saying the lounge was only for the ministers. So he went and sat in the normal area and was chatting with his spot boy Abdul. That is when the airport manager came and apologised on behalf of security and asked him to move back to the VIP lounge.

Moreover, he was okay with being in the normal waiting area so he said no. Later he asked him to join him in his cabin for a cup of tea. He was very much okay with sitting in the normal area and they ended up chatting about living in Lucknow, life, movies; in fact he even came to drop him till his flight and he flew off to Delhi. After having dinner with his mother, he began getting calls about him throwing his weight around at the airport and now reports are out for everyone to see," Saif added.

In fact, while speaking about irresponsible media reports, the Bollywood actor said that normally he would have ignored such a thing, but this time he chose not to ignore it and he have already asked that a case be prepared against such misreporting and against the people who have done it. He know normally nothing happens when you take the media to court, but he don't want to leave it this time as he feels it is damaging.

About his stay at Lucknow, the report quoted Saif as saying that he is shooting a very good film in Lucknow and he will not let such an incident spoil his entire experience of shooting and staying in the city.

To conclude, earlier it was reported that Saif engaged in a fight with security officials at the airport when he was asked to vacate the VIP lounge and later was thrown out of the place.
