Actor Saif Ali Khan was asked in an interview if he has ever felt jealous of Kareena Kapoor’s success when his own film did not work well at box office. Here’s his response.

Actor Saif Ali Khan put his humour to good use once again when he was asked about competing with his wife and actor Kareena Kapoor. In a recent interview with Rajeev Masand, Saif was asked if he ever felt jealous of his wife’s success whenever he suffered a big failure at the box office.

“No, no, no. I mean I think we’re far too realistic for that kind of thing. One understands that but no we aren’t as chauvinist...you know things change, things go up and down and things happen. At one point in time somebody is more successful than the other and the other time both people are having a great time. But I have never measured life in those terms. In fact the success of my life has got nothing to do with box office. It’s to do precisely what’s happening at home,” he said.

“I imagine there might be pressure if you are not working and if your are not contributing and if you kind of just, you know, lazing around, being jobless. I mean that would be I can imagine a little embarrassing and a little irritating to the partner as well. But any good thing if you’re doing better than me...I mean I do live with such a glamourous and successful movie star and it never, never...maybe it’s her greatness as a person that it never really feels like a competition, which of course it isn’t. And maybe I can say that she is a bit younger so.... (laughs) I don’t know whatever games we play to feel better. But yeah, I don’t compete or feel bad about that, ever,” he added.
