Saif Ali Khan off on vacation with baby Taimur

Early on Tuesday, Saif Ali Khan who’s been in the eye of a storm since his return from New York, flew off to Switzerland with wife Kareena Kapoor. The couple were accompanied by their son, Taimur. It’s his first trip abroad and since the baby is only seven months old, the nawab and the begum have opted not to stay in a chalet this time in Gstaad, but have booked a suite in the Royal Gstaad Palace for their two-week stay.

A year before they tied the knot on October 16, 2012, Kareena and Saif had taken their first international holiday in the Swiss Alps and mesmerised by the beauty and tranquillity of the snowcapped town, as also its people and local cuisine, the actress had made her beau promise that he would bring her back there every year, for the rest of their lives. It’s a promise Saif has been keeping since the last five years.

Saif Ali Khan talks about enjoying parenting Taimur

Kedarnath, the film will have Saif Ali Khan’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan making her Bollywood debut opposite Sushant Singh Rajut. And daddy Saif is a bag of mixed emotions right now. He is excited as well as nervous for Sara who will begin her journey in the film world soon. He shared with a leading news portal that he completely understands why Sara wants to take up this journey. It’s a fascinating job but he’s concerned because it’s fraught with insecurity.

Saif who’s also a father to the little Taimur, shared how he’s much calmer and experienced as a father although still full of wonder. He expressed that during Sara and Ibrahim’s time, he himself was young, juggling is own ambitions and career. He feels he’s the same person now except that his life has gotten simpler. He intends to do less work so that he can maximize this phase in his life. And being around Taimur, he feels grounded and most at ease. He’s looking forward to this opportunity of reliving his childhood again through Taimur’s toys and books. He also intends to relearn things fearing getting insular with time. He shared he’s looking forward to his family vacation in Gstaad in Switzerland. He was delighted he got to spend some quality time with Sara and Ibrahim when he was in New York for work. Sweet!

Saif Ali Khan talks about Kaalakaandi, Sacred Games — and that Kangana Ranaut joke at IIFA

It’s been an eventful weekend for Saif Ali Khan. No sooner had Kaalakandi’s teaser released last week, than the news came in that he’ll be headlining Netflix’s first Indian original series Sacred Games. Two different projects and platforms tackling Mumbai’s famed underbelly, with Saif playing very distinctive characters. The actor has had some tough luck at the box office in the past couple of years, but his current professional choices look to redeem his image as an actor who balances mainstream and indie roles with Nawabi panache.

Then on Sunday was broadcast the 18th edition of IIFA from New York (actually New Jersey) that was jointly hosted by Karan Johar and Saif. For all the glitzy television spectacle that it was, the hosts were widely panned in the media for unexceptional humour, particularly the tone-deaf treatment of the Kangana-nepotism debate.

Widely regarded as someone who is reasonable and liberal in thoughts and views, Saif being a part of this insular gag, seemed out of touch with his personality. The kind of work he’s doing this year is testimony to the professional and personal introspection that he’s done.
