Once in an interview with The Indian Express, Saif Ali Khan had talked about his famous parents, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore. The actor had shared how his parents never acted like superstars despite being popular in their respective fields. He had said:
“My parents were superstars but they didn’t behave like that. And it’s very easy to take yourself too seriously, whether it’s about having a bunch of bodyguards around or that vibe. You can’t blame somebody who doesn’t know any better. You just don’t have to get carried away by success.”
During his appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, Saif Ali Khan had revealed how he had not taken up cricket like his father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, but had quite a few things in common with him, like their love for books. Saif had said:
"One day my father was alone at home and everyone was out shooting, my mother, me, and everyone. As no one was there at home I called him up and asked him if he is okay, are you feeling lonely? So, he said I am not lonely; I have my books with me. So, I liked that sentiment a lot and you know, even I feel the same way. I like books a lot."
On the work front, Saif Ali Khan was last seen in the film, Bhoot Police.
