Saif Ali Khan shares a great bond with his amma, Sharmila Tagore. The beautiful veteran actress, who was always ahead of her times, had inspired millions.

She had stood like a pillar of strength for her son, Saif, when he had decided to get married to Amrita Singh, who was ten years elder to him.
In a recent online chat with Neha Dhupia for her podcast, No Filter Neha, Saif revealed that turning 50 was petrifying for him. However, the actor is grateful to inherit his mother, Sharmila Tagore’s genes. He has shared, “So, I’m just relieved my mother looks young and looked young and I feel I have inherited her genes, so I might be able to fool people into looking 50 when I’m 60.”
In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, the Jawaani Jaaneman actor had revealed his mother, Sharmila Tagore’s reply, when he had asked her to take care of herself during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

It's scary listening to such stuff.” Indeed it’s an extremely worrying statement for any child to hear from their mother. Saif also revealed how he’s managing to get in touch with his sister, Soha Ali Khan. He had added, “She believes we knew about this happening well in advance and kept the news from her.
