As Saif Ali Khan flaunts his 'permanent tattoo' and Kareena Kapoor shows off her love bites to the world, Mansoor Ali Khan has some advice for the couple.
"My son's very happy with Kareena and I'm happy for him. I want Kareena to keep my son happy always. A serious relationship is about commitment and marriage. Saif and Kareena must remember that everything won't always be rosy. There'll be times when they'll be mad at each other and then, loyalty, mutual trust and respect will be essential. Before taking the plunge, they must remember this and be very sure of their commitment to each other."
On Soha's marriage, he says, "Soha is very close to me and I connect with her on a deeper level. She confides in me quite a bit but that doesn't mean she tells me everything. I only believe in giving the best education to the kids and supporting them always, but I will never meddle in their lives when it comes to taking the most important decisions of their lives."
His wife Sharmila, he says, is the most important person in his life. "I didn't fall in love, I slowly walked into love. As the chairperson of the Censor Board, she recently suffered with unscrupulous elements asking for her resignation. I told her just one thing —finish the job that given to you. Don't buckle under the pressure and don't resign!"
And some views on cricket from one of India's best captains ever: "Indian sport actually lacked vision. Hockey was our game, but look at the way it's gone into oblivion because it wasn't marketed properly. We're lucky to have people like I S Bindra and Lalit Modi in the cricketing arena, who may not know the game too well, but they're wizards at marketing it. If the hockey federation had people like these, things would be different."
