| Controversies |
• In 1994, he allegedly beat Kanan Divecha (assistant editor of film magazine Star and Style), after the magazine published an article about Saif's EX-wife Amrita Singh's alleged affair with a film actor. After much delay by the Mumbai Police, the High Court ordered Saif and Amrita to settle the matter out of court, and apologize, which they did in 1999.
• In 1995, Ashok Row Kavi (gay rights activist) said that Saif beat him inside his house in Santacruz, Mumbai. He also said that Saif not only assaulted his mother too. Actually, a magazine called Bombay Dost had reviewed Saif and Akshay Kumar starring film Main Khiladi Tu Anadi as a gay film, apart from that they also mocked Saif's mother Sharmila Tagore, which made him angry.
• In 1998, he, along with co-stars Salman Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari, were charged with poaching two blackbucks in Kankani, Rajasthan during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain, after which the lower court charged them under the Wildlife Act and the Indian Penal Code. Later, Saif filed a revision petition before a sessions court, which soon discharged him of Section 51 (causing harm to wildlife) of Wildlife Act, Section 147 (punishment for rioting) and 149 (unlawful assembly of persons) of the Indian Penal Code. The Rajasthan state government then filed a revision petition before the Rajasthan high court, which again added Section 149 against Khan. The Jodhpur court summoned him along with all the accused of the commencement of the trial with the revised charges in February 2013. On 5 April 2018, Saif, along with "Hum Saath Saath Hain" co-stars, Tabu, Neelam Kothari, and Sonali Bendre were acquitted by a Jodhpur court in the 1998 blackbuck killing case, in which Salman Khan was convicted and was sentenced to 5-year, Magistrate Dev Kumar Khatri pronounced the verdict.
• In 2008, during the filming of Love Aaj Kal, he allegedly beat a photographer, Pawan Sharma at Patiala railway station.
• In 2012, he assaulted an Indian businessman from South Africa at the Taj Hotel in Colaba, Mumbai.
• After the hotel brawl, Saif's Padma Shri, which he received in 2010, was called into question by RTI activist S C Agrawal, who filed a complaint with the Union Home Ministry, saying that Saif should not be allowed to retain the award- conferred by President Pratibha Patil on him for his contribution as an artist because a Mumbai court has charged him with assaulting an Indian businessman from South Africa at the Taj Hotel, Mumbai in 2012.
• In 2013, when he was asked to leave the VIP lounge at the Chowdhary Charan Singh Airport in Lucknow; as he was not entitled to it, Saif allegedly refused to follow the instructions, after which an argument resulted in a brawl, which was stopped by the intervention of senior officials of the airport.
• In January 2020, Saif attracted controversy for his "concept of India" comment. In an interview with Anupama Chopra when he was asked if it bothers him that the "politics in Tanhaji is questionable." Saif replied, "I don't think this is history. I don't think there was a concept of India till the British gave it one." This comment enraged the internet.
• In July 2025, the Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected Saif Ali Khan's plea to reclaim the Flag Staff House, his ancestral property valued at approximately Rs. 15,000 crore, in Bhopal. The court dismissed his claim after the property was designated as "enemy property" under the Enemy Property Act. The government invoked this Act on the grounds that Saif's great-grandmother, the original owner, had migrated to Pakistan after the Partition, which classified the estate as belonging to an "enemy." This decision reversed a 2000 ruling by a trial court that had recognized Saif as the rightful heir to the property.
