Kareena alleged that Iqbal Sharma has provoked Saif on that night of brawl. Responding to Kareena's statements, Tarina Patel said,"Is asking the people to lower their voice comes under provocation? How can they justify breaking my husband's nose just for that? When we came face-to-face at the narrow passage while going downstairs, Saif said to us to f**k off to a library if we want the place to be silent. It was Saif who punched my husband first."
On reacting to Kareena raising doubts about Iqbal Sharma's broken nose saying how can a man with a broken nose talk for ten hours, Tarina Patel replied," My husband talks with his mouth, not with nose. We aren't going to leave this matter and will fight untill justice is done."
