Saif said, “Ibrahim is 20.?He should be in college, but he is finding it hard to get there. Sara’s career was at a very nascent stage, and when you are trying to establish yourself, and in the middle of that, everything shuts down, it’s very frightening and inconvenient. Taimur likes running around, but it’s heartbreaking to see a kid wearing a mask and not knowing what it’s like to see ducks in a park or just run around,"

The lockdown also transformed Saif into a better cook, who now owns two thick books of recipes. He said,

“Earlier, I was mystified with the heat and the oil, I thought it is all very heavy duty, but it really isn’t. The most painful part is only chopping and preparing for everything. Now, I am assisting my cook, and we are a good combination.”?

Saif was asked if, as a 'perfect husband,' he tried cutting wife Kareena's hair. Saif adds,

“I think she would stab me. It would be very unprofessional for me to try and cut her hair. She is a national treasure. We are still working, and we can’t mess around with each other’s hair. She can mess around with mine, but luckily, she hasn’t.”?

On the work front, Saif was last seen in Amazon Prime Video’s Tandav.Other projects in the pipeline include Bunty Aur Babli 2, Bhoot Police, and Adipurush.
