Mumbai, Mar 24: Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has denied that he created a scene at Lucknow airport while waiting for his Jet Airways flight to Delhi.
In an interview to a newspaper, Saif said: “I was at the airport to fly from Lucknow to Delhi on a Jet Airways flight.
“ The officials of the airline guided me to a lounge and I sat there reading my book. As soon as I sat down, two security officials asked me to move out, saying the lounge was only for the ministers.
“ So I went and sat in the normal area and was chatting with my spot boy Abdul. That is when the airport manager came and apologised on behalf of security and asked me to move back to the VIP lounge.
“I was okay with being in the normal waiting area so I said no. Later he asked me to join him in his cabin for a cup of tea.
“ I was very much okay with sitting in the normal area and we ended up chatting about living in Lucknow, life, movies; in fact he even came to drop me till my flight and I flew off to Delhi.
“After having dinner with my mother, I began getting calls about me throwing my weight around at the airport and now reports are out for everyone to see.”
Saif has threatened to take the media to court for misreporting. “I know normally nothing happens when you take the media to court, but I don't want to leave it this time. It is damaging.”
Lucknow airport manager Viveck Anand sent a message to him, confirming: “You didn't misbehave with anyone at the airport. Look forward to seeing you soon.”
