New Delhi:
Actor Saif Ali Khan provoked the ire of the media on Wednesday, November 27, when he along with his Bullett Raja co-stars reached late by three hours for an event in Delhi.
The moment the 43-year-old arrived at the function organised by the Delhi Election Commission, the media reacted angrily and asked the actor to apologise for coming late. However, their request was turned down by Saif.
"I will not apologise because it is not my fault. I was stuck in traffic. I should not be blamed for this chaos and I feel stars should not come to Delhi. This is my last visit to Delhi and henceforth, I will give interviews from Mumbai," the actor said.
"If anybody should apologise it is the election officials as they didn't convey the right time," Saif said.
Saif, who was accompanied by Sonakshi Sinha, Jimmy Shergill and director Tigmanshu Dhulia, also cancelled the scheduled press conference.
Later, District Election Officer (North) A M More said that "he (Saif) apolosied. We from the district administration also apologise on this issue that he got late. This should be considered by the media. We are coming together for a cause.
"Generally stars have other engagements, he must be having some other commitments. He came here to give the message that voters should participate in the election."
Later, Saif was heard apologising to a few people as he rushed out of the venue.
