Saif Ali Khan confessed to his acting career and the pressure to maintain his parents’ “legacy”. The actor recently appeared in the Disney+ Hotstar movie Bhoot Police and previously appeared in the Amazon Prime Video series Tandav.
Saif said in an interview that he entered the film industry in a different way, which may be contrary to what was considered normal at the time. Speaking of his famous parents, actor Shamila Tagore and legendary cricketer Mansour Ali Khan Patadi, he told the Indian Express, “My parents are superstars, but they didn’t do that. . And it’s easy to take yourself too seriously, whether it’s a group of bodyguards around or that kind of atmosphere.
You can’t blame someone who doesn’t understand. You don’t have to be dazzled by success.” He further talked about Pataudi’s “legacy” and stated that the basic thing any actor wants to do when he enters the industry is to maintain rather than be “ridiculed.” He explained: “You don’t want people to abuse you or throw rubbish at you in Gaiety Galaxy. This is not why you entered the film industry. I don’t have the same psychological approach as my contemporaries. Some are well-deserved superstars, some It’s a superstar from their first movie to the present.
My performance or the audience’s liking for me has always been a mirror image of my mental state. Because of my growth and education, I have a very international view of things. Westernized Anglicization is the opposite of Hindi movie heroes. They are not very masculine. They speak softly. It’s a different standard. It doesn’t really solve it for me.”
