The actor explained: "It was a joke, I am sorry. It's just that I am very annoyed with speculations on all the aspects of my life.
"If this goes on, I might just start making up stories like these to entertain myself. Hope people will understand that."
Portman's management team issued the legal notice after Khan went on record earlier this week to say that the two would feature in a romantic comedy together.

A cheap and nasty litle nobody trying to leach of a Hollywood actress. Vile.

most people don't get it will be the work of her management and legal team. it's not like she stood up and thought OMG I'M GONNA SUE

It's Saif who name dropped her! I hardly think she needs her management and legal team to get some Indian actor to mention her just so she can sue him. Whether Natalie or her team decided to sue him, he should never have said he was working with her in a film in the first place. Now he has to face the consequences of telling a big fat lie. Serves him right.

sorry if I misread your comment. I just believe this guy is in the wrong. He shouldn't be making up stories and using an actress' name just so he can make the news.

Very childish and selfish of Saif to lie about Natalie being in a film with him.
In his dreams.
