Khan denies mum's 'censorship fixing'

Saif Ali Khan has said that his mother did not rig the censorship rating of Shahid Kapoor's new film because of a personal grievance.

The actor denied the allegations against his mum, censor board chief Sharmila Tagore, saying that Kaminey deserved an Adult classification.

"It is ridiculous to state that anyone had any personal bias against Kaminey," he told IANS.

"I know for sure that my mother is a great authority when it comes to the censors. My own Kurbaan has got an A certificate and I know where she is coming from."

Reports have suggested that Kaminey, directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, was given the rating because Shahid once had a relationship with Khan's girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.
