Qayamat se qayamat tak!


A Dalit mob, who was protesting the alleged desecration of Dr B R Ambedkar’s statue in Kanpur, roughed up Aamir Khan’s stepbrother Hyder Ali Khan in Bandra on Thursday. The incident took place near Kherwadi on the Western Express highway.
Khan was shooting in Madh Island for his forthcoming film Kuch Kehna Hai when the crew had to pack up abruptly. Hyder went to drop his associate director home when a mob hurled towards them forcing them to stop the car.
Saved by busSaid a very shocked Hyder, “It was around late afternoon after the news of violence spread like wildfire. So I decided to drop one of my crewmembers to his home near Bandra in my car. When I entered a narrow road in Kherwadi, a mob of people charged towards me.”
When the actor stepped out, he was pushed and roughed up by a mob of 10 people. They threatened him with sticks and demanded that he reverse his car and leave. Some people in the mob even started hitting the mudguards on Hyder’s car, with the intention of doing some damage.
Hyder said, “I requested them to stop but the furious mob got very physical with me. I got hurt on my right hand but quickly managed to get back into the car. The mob was about to start pelting stones at me, but God is great. A bus approaching from the opposite direction diverted them, giving me the opportunity to whisk away.”
Twice luckyEarlier in the morning, when Hyder was driving towards the Pebble Bungalow in Mudh Island, he had a close brush with another stone-pelting mob at Malwani. “God saved me again at that time, when the cops arrived on time and I got away. It has been an eventful day. I hope peace will return to the state soon,” said Hyder.
The actor’s mother Shahnaaz Tahir Hussain, who also plays a cameo in his film, had not accompanied her son to the sets that day. “I am just thankful that God sent my son home safe that day.”
Hyder has sustained mild injuries on his right hand and on his back. “I have got myself bandaged and have taken pain killers since I have to resume work tomorrow,” he said.
