Interview: All about Saif Ali Khan
When was the last time you Googled yourself?
Just yesterday.
Do you do that often?
Well, yeah. I've started doing it now (smiles sheepishly).
What is that one part of yourself that you like the least?
I think the impatient and edgy self. I keep trying to not be impatient and edgy but I always fail.
What is your secret talent?
I think the world knows everything about me. I don't think I have any secret talent as such.
BAD HABITS
What is the worst thing you've ever done?
I am sure something pretty unspeakable (laughs).
Have you ever gone through an ex's phone?
Yes, I think so. But then I was told not to behave like a girl. So after that, I have never done it. 😆
Have you worn anything out of the dirty laundry?
Yes, my jeans. But nothing more soiled. I am quite a cleanliness freak that way.
HOTNESS QUOTIENT
How attractive do you think you are on a scale of one to 10?
I think on a good day, eight and on a bad day, I am a four. 😲
You can't be a four. That's too less...
Trust me, I can be. 😆
LOVE & LUST
What is your ultimate fantasy?
I don't think that is something I should be saying because I have a lot of them (laughs). And they are pretty naughty. ☺️
Who is your secret celebrity Hollywood crush?
The last person I had a crush on was the lead singer of Abba when I was 16. Or maybe I was nine. I don't remember actually, as it was a long time ago. (Pauses) There was one more. Jill St. John - the female lead in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever. All this is ancient history. Wait; there is one more, Raquel Welch. She is very hot.
Kareena Kapoor maintains that the two of you have a superb DVD collection. But there must be one cheesy film you own, no?
I am not really sure. I can't even say Miami Vice because it's too cool. Actually, Kareena is right. I don't think I own a cheesy film. My DVD collection is pretty cool.
FOND MEMORY
What has been the proudest moment of your life so far?
The day when Sara was born. 😳
CRINGE-WORTHY MOMENT
When was the last time you cried?
(Long pause) Honestly, I can't remember. Maybe when that guy was beating me up at Wasabi in the Taj (Mahal Hotel in Colaba, Mumbai). I am not sure (giggles). 😆
FASHION
Describe your style.
It's simple. I don't like anything too fancy.
Do you prefer high street wear or designer wear?
Both. But I think I like designer wear more.
What is that one item in your wardrobe that you just can't get enough of?
T-shirts and Jodhpuri pants.
Do you take tips from your designer friends?
No, I usually wear what I like wearing.
What is your favourite perfume?
Chanel Sport and Issey Miyake for men.
Who inspires your style?
Anybody and everybody. It just depends on what you like when you see it.
