I have a place in the world as well as in the industry: Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan says ‘balance is the key’ as the idea is to carry on with his work in the best manner but not overwork also.

He has been part of Bollywood for close to 25 years now. And now, Saif Ali Khan (left) admits that he is in a “good space” in life as well as career. “I do realise that it has taken me a while to reach this stage and that it has been a kind of chequered past with ups and downs. But that’s great because I feel good, and feel as I have learnt everything on my own. Also, I feel I have a place in the world as well as in the industry,” says the actor.

At the same time, as Saif balances his professional and personal life (he has a daughter Sara, who will soon make her Bollywood debut; and son Ibrahim) with son Taimur being the latest addition in the family, he admits “balance is the key”. “When I am doing a 9am to 9pm shift, I don’t even get to see Taimur because I leave the house before he wakes up, and by the time I get back, he is sleeping. And I don’t know if I want to do that a lot (smiles). I want to balance it and have some time for myself too. So, the idea is to carry on doing my work in the best manner but not overwork also,” he says.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan became proud parents of their son, Taimur, last year.
