Saif Ali Khan, known for films like _Being Cyrus,_ _Omkara_ and _Parineeta_, says he will be a better actor in English as it is his primary language. During an episode of online streaming
service Saavn's upcoming show _Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev_, Saif spoke about his career, his daughter Sara and son Taimur, read a statement. > “One of the reasons why I got into
films unfortunately, I’m > being honest, is because I wasn’t interested in my exams and > academics and I just ran away from home and said ‘Oh movies sound > great’. But I didn’t
really know what I was talking about,” Saif Ali Khan, Actor "So, this desire and this understanding of acting came a bit late for me if it had always been there. If it had been there
earlier maybe I might have chosen to struggle in the US, I don't know." "But I think being sensible about it, you have more opportunities and again it's that nepotism
thing again. Being mum's son (veteran actress Sharmila Tagore) would give me a more chance here to meet people than in America. But I think in English I speak in English as a primary
language, unless I'm speaking to someone who is working for me usually. There’s a difference there. > So I think I will be a better actor in English because I’ll know > when I’m
lying whereas in Hindi I’ve never said to a girl > ‘aapki aakhein itni khoobsoorat hai’ (your eyes are so > beautiful) so I don’t know whether that sounds genuine or not, > I’m not
used to saying that. On his daughter Sara, who is gearing up for her debut film_ Kedarnath_, Saif says he always knew she wanted to be an actress. > “I have seen her do a very funny
advert when she was four and > she’s been like this all along. There was actress Aishwarya Rai on > stage in New York with people going ballistic and Sara sitting on > the floor
behind the curtain saying ‘This is what I want to > do’,” Saif Ali Khan "She always wanted to do this, it's just that she took a header you know a shine to academics and then
ended up doing so well at Columbia that one thought came, listen maybe a slightly more stable thing because I don't know... who knows. I wish her all the best. "It is like
Soha's track but Soha didn't always want to become an actor, Sara did and this is something that she really wants to do, so absolutely good luck! I think it's a great job.
We'd be talking about Sushant Singh Rajput all day which is great but it's not as interesting as discussing history with art like we used to," he added. Taimur has been in the
limelight even before his birth. Saif says he is a "blue-eyed boy". > “He is a genetic treasure trove, he is. He has got a bit of > Rabindranath Tagore, he is a bit of Raj
Kapoor, a bit of Mansoor Ali > Khan Pataudi, little bit of Bhopal. It’s beyond me,” Saif Ali Khan Published: 03 Jan 2018, 2:33 PM IST
