Saif Ali Khan Attack: Akashdeep Sabir Takes a Dig at Saif and Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan recently faced an unfortunate attack, but the good news is that he is now completely fine. However, the incident has sparked debates and unexpected criticism from various corners, including actor Akashdeep Sabir and his wife, Sheeba. Their recent comments on Saif and Kareena Kapoor have stirred controversy, particularly regarding Kareena’s earnings and their security arrangements.

Akashdeep Sabir’s Remarks on Kareena Kapoor’s Fees

In a recent interview with Lehran Retro, Akashdeep Sabir questioned the high fees charged by Bollywood celebrities, particularly Kareena Kapoor, who reportedly earns Rs 21 crore per film. He sarcastically pointed out that despite earning such a hefty amount, Kareena is unable to afford a full-time driver or even a security guard outside her house.

Akashdeep remarked, “This is the reason why Kareena Kapoor, who charges a fee of Rs 21 crore, is not able to keep a watchman outside her house. When you give her Rs 100 crore, then maybe she will keep a watchman and a driver.” His comments were accompanied by laughter, and he even mocked the fact that after the attack, Saif had to go to the hospital in an auto-rickshaw with his son, Taimur.

Questions Raised About Security and Safety

Apart from Kareena’s earnings, Akashdeep also raised important questions about security arrangements at Bollywood celebrities’ homes. He shared that during a TV debate, he supported Saif and Kareena but was left speechless when asked two crucial questions:

1. Why was there no security guard outside Saif Ali Khan’s house? – Akashdeep criticized the assumption that installing multiple CCTV cameras is enough to ensure security. He pointed out that cameras can only help in solving crimes, not preventing them.
2. Why was there no driver available at night? – He noted that many Mumbai homes face the problem of not having enough space for night-duty staff to stay, which might have contributed to the absence of a driver.

Is the Media Blowing Things Out of Proportion?

While acknowledging that Saif Ali Khan has suffered due to the attack, Akashdeep also suggested that the media is sensationalizing the issue unnecessarily. He said, “He has suffered a lot. I think we should give him time to recover. The media is making an issue out of nothing.”

Conclusion

The incident involving Saif Ali Khan has certainly raised questions about celebrity security and the practical challenges faced by high-profile personalities. While Akashdeep Sabir’s comments have added a humorous yet critical perspective, they also shed light on a bigger issue: Are Bollywood celebrities truly prepared for unforeseen threats, or is their security merely an illusion?

As Saif recovers from the incident, the conversation around celebrity security and media sensationalism continues. Whether Akashdeep’s comments were in good humor or harsh criticism, they have certainly ignited a debate in Bollywood circles.
