In a recent interview with BT, Saif Ali Khan expresses his dislike with the media for labelling him and his new lover ‘The New Brangelina’, because it’s obviously a stretch to compare Saif & Bebo to those hypocritical, cheating, lying, bed-hopping, publicity hogs!
A few highlights from the actor’s brilliant interview:
Saif on being extremely open about his relationship with Kareena: “I don’t know if we have been particularly open but I don’t believe in being hypocritical, lying and hiding things. Nor do I believe in shouting from the rooftop. But I’d like people to know how seriously I take my relationship in order for them to take it seriously. I don’t want any kind of speculation about whether it’s on or not, that kind of filmi rubbish is not my scene. When I have someone in my life, why would I need to promote the image of being a single, available man? ”
Saif on whether they were married in a hush-hush wedding: “When marriage happens, I will share it with everyone. I don’t believe in doing things behind closed doors.”
Saif on wearing his heart on his sleeve: “I don’t consciously do that but it always tends to end up there, on my sleeve. And I love the way I wear it. I wouldn’t have it in any other way. ”
Saif on whether his family has met Kareena: “Yes, my parents think she is a wonderful girl.”
Saif on the two being described as the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of India: “I think we are much cooler. We are Saif and Kareena of the world, not the Brad and Angelina of India.”
Saif on what drives him, love or work: “Love, more than anything. Work is an integral part of it. In order to sustain love you need to work. I am doing that. ”
Saif on perhaps keeping his personal life out of the media: “I give a damn to what anybody thinks. That’s how I have always been. I’m in love and proud of it. ”
