He’s a Nawab, not only by birth but even by the way he lives and speaks. Saif Ali Khan is a journalist’s delight. Not one to mince his words and feelings, Saif is as honest, straightforward and delightfully candid as it gets. If you don’t believe us, take a look at some of the fiery and intelligent, yet straight-from-the-heart statements of His Highness!
“I feel I should have listened to the script (of Humshakals) more carefully and told Sajid (Khan) what I felt, which I didn’t do. I think the film should have been funnier. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The jokes and the humour weren’t very funny.”
“I wouldn’t call myself a superstar; Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman are superstars because their films make 200-300 crores. My films don’t make that kind of money at the box office. Just that my surname is the same as theirs but my box office isn’t.”
“I just didn’t know what was going on in the ’80s and the ‘90s. They are definitely not the best decades of Hindi cinema. I had no clue or idea about what I was doing. I learnt things much later. I didn’t fit into that era.”
“We should stop calling ourselves Bollywood because we are a nation that hasn’t been consumed by Hollywood. It’s not that Hollywood has eaten up the rest of the world. We have been a proper film industry.”
“It’s interesting to not have your wife as your co-star all the time. You don’t want to work with your wife all the time. So yeah I get to romance other lovely ladies while she is romancing some other handsome boys around.”
“We don’t have an open marriage but we do have an open career and that’s the way it should be. I think if we had that equation of being phenomenal together on screen then things would have been different. But I would rather come home to Kareena than just work with her on the sets.”
“I will be happy to approach Amrita (Singh) if the script demands her presence and if there is a role that suits her because she has always been a terrific actor. Bebo is far too sorted and comfortable with all that. She’s very comfortable with me, my life, my kids, everybody.”
“Bebo is a huge superstar today, but if she needs any help, she does talk to me not because I am senior in the profession but because I have a different approach, so sometimes; it’s reassuring for her to hear another take on the same issue.”
