Here’s what Saif Ali Khan has to say about his son Ibrahim calling him an old man

Saif Ali Khan is undoubtedly one of the best looking actors of Bollywood. Well, no one can say that he is a father of two grown-up kids. However, his son Ibrahim Ali Khan feels that his father is an old man.

A few days ago, Ibrahim posted a picture on Instagram with his father Saif and captioned it as, “just me and the old man?.” The caption grabbed everyone’s attention and a lot of people on social media disagreed with Ibrahim as Saif looks damn hot and doesn’t look old at all.


Recently, in an interview with a tabloid, when Saif was asked about Ibrahim’s caption, the actor said, “Yeah, it was quite funny. Being older doesn’t bother me and the fact is that I am Ibrahim’s old man. But I’m keen to be fit and look my best. I’m not going to be looking like an old man for a while, but I understand the irony of it.”

When Saif was asked if he would be launching his son in Bollywood, the actor said, “I don’t know if I will launch him. It’s an option and films are certainly a viable career choice for him. He’s sporty and likes the idea of being in the movies rather than pursuing an academic job. No one in the family, with the exception of his sister (Sara Ali Khan), has been interested in the latter anyway.”

Talking about Saif’s movies, the actor was last seen on the big screen in Jawaani Jaaneman. Though the film received positive reviews, it couldn’t make a mark at the box office. His next release will be Bunty Aur Babli 2 in which he is collaborating with Rani Mukerji after a gap of 12 years. The movie is slated to release on 26th June 2020.

  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
