Director Akashdeep Sabir stirred up a storm with his cheeky remark about Kareena Kapoor Khan’s security (or the lack of it!). Speaking to Lehren Retro, he quipped that despite charging a hefty ₹21 crore per film, Bebo apparently “can’t afford a watchman!” Adding fuel to the fire, he joked, “When actors get paid ₹100 crore, maybe then they can afford security or a driver at night. Auto!”
Sabir, who has known Kareena since childhood, stood by Saif and Kareena in TV debates following Saif Ali Khan’s shocking stabbing incident. However, he confessed he struggled to answer why the superstar couple had no night-time security or a driver. “CCTV cameras help solve crimes, not stop them,” he pointed out.
For the unversed, Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his Mumbai residence on January 16 and had to undergo surgery. Meanwhile, on the work front, he’s set to star in Jewel Thief, directed by Siddharth Anand, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Kunal Kapoor.
Well, after Sabir’s comment, we wonder—will Kareena upgrade her security, or just hail an Auto next time?
