"Whenever there is music or programmes in the slum areas, these people in big buildings complain against us and we have to shell out large fines. We also get disturbed and so we complained to the police, " he told media persons here Sunday morning.
Shaikh claimed that initially the police did not respond to their calls for help. It was only after repeated pleas that they intervened, he said, adding that soon after the police left, the volume was again turned full blast.
It is understood that other Bollywood bigwigs, including Shahrukh Khan, Farah Khan, Chunky Pandey and others were present at the birthday bash, which wound up this morning.

Panettiere Argues With 'Heroes' Worker
Hayden Panettiere ranted at a Heroes crew member after he used a lawn-blower to scare away birds on set, a report claims.
According to BANG Showbiz, the worker attempted to blast the creatures when they disrupted filming, resulting in a furious reaction from the 19-year-old actress, who plays Claire Bennet.
In the ensuing argument, Panettiere is quoted as saying: "What are you doing? How would you like someone to blow that thing inside your house?"
The row reportedly occurred after the birds flew in front of the camera as cast and crew filmed outdoor scenes for the hit NBC show. It is claimed that the director decided to move the scene to a new location in the aftermath of the incident.
Panettiere is a keen animal rights activist and has previously made headlines by attempting to rescue dolphins before a slaughter in Japan.
