Saif further told that the director of that film had told him, ‘Never take the role of a policeman seriously in your life, because you cannot do it. You don’t have the strength or courage to look like a policeman. If you do this role, it will look like a comedy, so never try it.

Saif told how he learned to move forward

Saif Ali Khan said that the suggestions received at that time were like a lesson for me. The actor further said, ‘It is amazing that if you keep practicing, learning and moving forward, you get better with time. Without pressure, work becomes boring. If there is no pressure at all then work is not fun. A little pressure brings out the best. However, every day is not the same. It often happens in films that one day is very difficult, and the next day is a little balanced and easy. Working in these ups and downs has its own pleasure.

When the actor was asked whether it was easier for him to do romantic-comedy or serious characters like duty, Saif answered this question very fearlessly. He admitted that having grown up in cities, it is easier for him to do ‘rom-com’ films.

Saif spoke on responsibility of family and children

The actor said, in ‘rom-com’ films you are in a way playing your own character. They contain things that are part of my real life, like raising children, school responsibilities and family. Even in my personal life, I always keep in mind that I am not disappointing my mother.
