Saif Ali Khan recently yelled at the paparazzi in an unpleasant incident after they followed him and his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan into the grounds of their building. Last night after a party, the couple arrived home to find about 20 paparazzi waiting for them. Saif had snapped, "Aisa kariye aap humare bedroom mein aa jaiye (Do one thing, come to our bedroom)" after becoming a little disturbed by the situation.

According to some sources, Saif dismissed the building's security guard after the event, and the actor allegedly intended to file a lawsuit against the paparazzi for invasion of privacy. Saif has already released a statement addressing the accusations, making it clear that no one is being dismissed and that no legal action is being taken.

Explicitly describing what happened at 2:00 a.m. yesterday, Said wrote in his statement, "Since that is not how we want to handle things, the building security officer is not being fired despite the fact that it is not his responsibility. Nor is anybody bringing a lawsuit against the paps either. Yet, the fact remains that they entered privately owned land through the gate, got past the security guard, fully violated our area, and then set up 20 cameras and lights to watch us. This is inappropriate conduct, and everyone deserves to be given boundaries. We frequently work with the media and are understanding of their needs, but where is the line drawn when it comes to activity outside the home or at the gate?"

He went on, "Due to the fact that they had already transgressed one boundary, I asked how many more there were to cross until it became completely absurd. It is not necessary for paparazzi to photograph children when they are participating in extracurricular activities or any other type of class; there are boundaries set. And that is all we have to say. Everyone wants to sell something, and nobody knows the truth, so there is a lot of noise and babble, but this is the truth. I've said everything I have to say. I'm grateful."

Saif will be featured in the next film Adipurush, which is being directed by Om Raut. With Prabhas as Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita, and Sunny Singh as Laxman, he will be seen as Ravana. Due to its cartoonish visual effects and purported distortion of Lord Ram, Hanuman, and Ravana, the movie's initial trailer received harsh criticism.
