Perhaps not the best person for the job? Lindsay Lohan 'attempted intervention' on best friend Vikram Chatwal..
Perhaps next time she should try to take her own advice.
Just days after Lindsay Lohan's best friend Vikram Chatwal was arrested at a Florida airport for possession of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and prescription pills, sources say she had unsuccessfully tried to set him straight once she noticed his behaviour take a turn for the worse.
Sources told that the 26-year-old, who often lodged for free at Chatwal's Dream Hotel in New York City, tried to stage an intervention when he came to visit her in Los Angeles.
Lindsay herself has been the victim of bad behaviour as she has been frequently spotted partying in the past few weeks since being sentenced to 90 days in a lockdown rehab centre for lying to Los Angeles police last summer.
But the intervention never took place and Chatwal's continued on his destructive cycle.
Chatwal, like his friend Lohan, has been in rehab more than once.
In a July 2011 article in the New York Times, Chatwal said that he had put his partying ways behind him.
The 41-year-old multimillionaire was arrested Tuesday at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport after airport security found the drugs hidden in his bag and in his crotch, according to a report
Chatwal told authorities that he illegally bought the drugs and they were in his possession, according to the police report.
Lohan and Chatwal were rumored to be dating last year after the two were spotted shopping together at the Chanel Store in New York and photographed together at the opening of an art reception hosted by Chatwal.
Lohan, 26, was arrested in September for allegedly striking a pedestrian while driving a Porsche outside the Dream Hotel. The misdemeanor charge was later dropped.
Chatwal, who is of Indian Sikh heritage, married Indian model Priya Sachdev in 2006, but the two have since separated.
Chatwal previously dated supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss.
He has a young daughter, Safira, who lives in India.
Chatwal was born in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia, and his Indian father is the founder of Hampshire Hotels and Resorts. Chatwal has spent most of his life in New York and opened his own brand of luxury hotels at age 28.
