Actress Amrita Arora Ladak recently testified as a witness in the ongoing case against actor Saif Ali Khan, her husband Shakeel Ladak, and their friend Bilal Amrohi. The case pertains to a 2012 altercation at a five-star hotel, where businessman Iqbal Sharma accused the trio of assaulting him and his brother-in-law, Raman Patel.

Speaking to NDTV, Amrita detailed the events of that night, asserting that the incident began when an unknown individual aggressively confronted their group. “We saw someone barging into our enclosure and, in a very loud, aggressive voice, told us to shut up and keep quiet. We all got shocked at what was happening,” she stated. Amrita further claimed that Saif Ali Khan responded to the situation with an apology, standing up immediately to diffuse the tension.
The altercation reportedly involved Sharma accusing Saif and his friends of behaving aggressively and abusing him. He further alleged that the actor punched him, breaking his nose, and also attacked his brother-in-law Raman Patel. The businessman lodged a police complaint soon after the incident, leading to charges of assault and criminal intimidation against Saif and his associates.
However, Saif Ali Khan has consistently maintained that he acted in self-defence. According to him, the altercation escalated only after Sharma allegedly made derogatory remarks about the women in the group, which included Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, and Amrita Arora. The actor claimed that Sharma’s comments were offensive, and he responded in their defense.
The case has been ongoing for over a decade, with multiple court hearings. Amrita’s testimony supports Saif’s version of events, emphasizing that the situation began with Sharma’s aggressive approach. The court is expected to review witness statements before arriving at a final verdict. The incident continues to generate public interest, as the legal battle unfolds with statements from both parties shedding light on different perspectives of what transpired that night.
