Saif Ali Khan Shares How Pandemic & Lockdown Has Affected His Kids And Slowed Their 'Growth'
The actor appeared on the talk show Feet Up With The Stars and shared how the pandemic has slowed the growth of his four children, Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Khan, Taimur Ali Khan, and Jeh.
The pandemic has altered the lives of many. From losing family members to COVID-19 to facing financial difficulties, the times have been tough for everyone.
Apart from affecting the mental health of adults, COVID-19 has also slowed down the growth of children.
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan opened up about challenges he faced as a father during the pandemic.
The actor appeared on the talk show Feet Up With The Stars and shared how the pandemic has slowed the growth of his four children, Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Khan, Taimur Ali Khan, and Jeh.
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.
