Akashdeep Sabir-Sheeba slams Kareena Kapoor on Saif Ali Khan attack incident; says, “Cannot afford security with a fee of Rs 21 crore”

Kareena Kapoor and her family had a stressful week last month after Saif Ali Khan was attacked during an alleged robbery at their residence. During the incident, he was stabbed 6 times and later rushed to hospital. Many celebs have reacted to the incident and supported the couple. However, some celebs have pointed out the negligence from couple’s end. In a recent interview, couple Akashdeep Sabir and his wife Sheeba took a dig at Saif and Kareena and them being incapable of affording a security guard.

In a recent conversation with Lehren Retro, Akashdeep and Sheeba were discussing the pay parity in the industry. They claimed that it was Allu Arjun who brought audience to theatre and not Pushpa’s heroine Rashmika Mandanna. The couple justified why she reportedly received just Rs 10 crore, while Allu Arjun earned over Rs 100 crore for his role. While discussing this, Akashdeep took a dig at Kareena Kapoor and said, “This is why Kareena, with a price tag (fee) of Rs 21 crore couldn’t afford a watchman outside her house.”

He said, “When you will pay them Rs 100 crore, maybe then they can afford security or a driver at night.” Laughing, he teased, “Auto!” He further shared, “(When I met her) Kareena was a bachchi (a child). I fought on TV debates to support Saif and Kareena. I directed and produced Karishma, which was Karisma Kapoor’s debut on Sahara. Kareena wasn’t an actress, she was a baby then.”

He added, “Dignified and very distinguished couple, but I had no answer for two things in the debate. When they used to ask me ‘Why was there no security guard outside the house…’ It might be a safe building with 30 CCTV’s but how will a CCTV bring a hand out and stop the robber? It can only help you solve the crime, not stop the crime.”

He listed the second question that he couldn’t answer at debates is that the couple “not having a full time driver at night”. To this, Akashdeep’s wife, Sheeba, then said, “Most Mumbai houses don’t have the space for staff overnight.” Akashdeep later said, “They have been through a lot, I think we should let them recover. The media is making an issue out of nothing.”
