News
about
Saif
Ali
Khan
has
been
trending
ever
since
he
got
attacked
at
home.
Old
videos
of
the
actor
have
also
started
doing
the
rounds.
One
such
video
has
Saif
discussing
his
meeting
with
the
sultan
of
Brunei
in
London.
The
video
was
taken
when
Saif
was
giving
an
interview
to
East
India
Comedy
while
promoting
his
2008
film,
Race.
In
the
video,
Saif
stated
that
the
sultan
of
Brunei
would
invite
celebrities
like
Michael
Jackson
to
his
palace.
His
daughter,
who
was
a
fan
of
Bollywood,
invited
Saif
and
Manisha
Koirala.
‘There
were
two
chairs
for
the
meeting,
one
large
and
one
short.
I
went
and
sat
on
the
large
one,
without
realising
it
was
meant
for
the
sultan.
I
was
then
told
to
sit
on
the
small
chair
after
which
the
sultan
came
and
sat
on
it.
He
took
a
picture
with
me,’
Saif
—
who
became
the
nawab
of
Pataudi
after
his
father,
cricket
legend
Mansur
Ali
Khan
‘Tiger’
Pataudi
passed
away
in
2011
—
says
in
the
video.
At
the
end
of
the
meeting,
the
sultan
of
Brunei
—
once
considered
one
of
the
richest
men
in
the
world
—
gifted
him
a
box.
‘Later,
when
I
opened
it,
I
saw
a
Rolex
watch
with
diamonds,’
Saif
said
in
the
video.
Since
it
was
a
lady’s
watch,
Saif
tried
to
sell
the
Rolex
to
Race
Producer
Ramesh
Taurani,
but
in
vain.
He
then
said,
‘The
Rolex
watch
is
with
my
wife
now.’
Saif
had
started
dating
Kareena
in
2008
and
got
married
to
her
in
2012.
Spotted
Bebo
wearing
the
watch,
folks?
