| Saif and Rosa sport scarlet | Saif Ali Khan leaves for a world tour right after the completion of Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara. "It's organised by Anu's brother Abu Malik, with Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen and me," says Saif.
"Though it takes us through April and May, I want it to be really cool. We go all over the US, and to parts of UK. That tour should hopefully get me the funds to buy a new place. Right now Rosa and I are staying at a rented place. We've sort of zeroed-in on a place, in Juhu, that we want to buy." Marrying man
Saif feels his life is coming together this year. "I feel much calmer. What's real is real. No duality and lies in my life. I'm more in charge of my life and environment." He says marriage to Rosa is definitely on the cards.
"I should think so… yes. I'd like that. I wouldn't like to say when. I got into a relationship with Rosa with that end (marriage) in mind. It's never been a casual, let's-spend-some-time-together kind of bonding. I think some relationships are permanent from the start. A lady once said to me that whatever relationships I have, are meant to culminate in marriage."
So is he incapable of frivolous relationships? "I'm sure I'm capable of frivolous relationships, but I don't want them right now. Frivolities aren't a part of my life right now. I think marrying Rosa is the right thing to do in every way.
She has made some pretty severe changes in her life… like changing her location and the entire environment around her, just to be with me. I think it's a huge sacrifice, and needs to be respected." Different films
The new, power-packed, confident Saif is a change from the yes-no-maybe guy one used to know. "Well…maybe, maybe not," he chuckles. Saif also wants to sign new films.
"You know, after Rang De Basanti, it's time to do some really different work." Soha's career
What about sister Soha? "Soha is good in Rang De Basanti. She needs to be her own person. But sometimes, I think, she feels she has to act a certain way to qualify as a typical heroine. She looks uncomfortable doing that. When she acts calmly and does her delivery and accent her own way, she comes across as a natural. She can't fake it."
Does Soha seek Saif's advice? "Only in an indirect way. Perhaps I should sit down with her and take more interest in her work. But yeah, I need the time to do so," signs off the big brother. |
