$\'Nawab\' Saif\'s bad boy behaviour continues$

Saif was in trouble on Wednesday after a South African businessman accused him of abusing and hitting him.

At a chance encounter, Saif called Sharma an 'idiot', before pushing him and his father-in-law.

A complaint was been file against Saif Wednesday.

Earlier too, Saif has been involved in public spats.

In September 2008, Saif was booked for allegedly assaulting a photojournalist in Patiala.

In 1998, he was charged with poaching two endangered black bucks during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. It was a dent in his career, and also left the Bihsnoi community in Rajasthan upset when he won the Padma Shri award in 2010.

His father, the later Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was charged in a separate case for poaching a black buck.

Saif's personal life has also been rocky.

He was under media scrutiny when he decided in 1991 to split from his first wife, actress Amrita Singh, after 13 years of marriage.

He was later reported to be dating Italian model Rosa Catalano. But that too crumbled.

Currently, Saif is dating Kareena. So far they are in a steady relationship and there are rumours that they will tie the knot this year.
