Saif Ali Khan recently spoke about his sons Ibrahim, Taimur, and Jeh remarking that they are ‘much more sorted’ than he ever was. He humorously added, “I deserve kids as naughty as me.” Saif, a descendant of the distinguished Pataudi lineage, is the son of the legendary cricketer Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and acclaimed actress Sharmila Tagore. Following in his mother’s footsteps, Saif built a successful career in Indian cinema.
In an interview with India Today, Saif Ali Khan reflected on his sons, mentioning how they are far more organized than he was during his younger years. He said, “I keep telling the boys, ‘You are so much more sorted than I was. So, it’s fine in that sense.”
The actor further reminisced about a time when one of his mother’s friends, after observing one of his children being playful on a flight, made a comment that reminded him of his own mischievous nature as a child. Saif mentioned that his mother once considered writing a book about him, tentatively titled Oh Saif, given the many mischievous acts he committed.
He humorously shared the incident on the flight, where his mother’s friend warned him that if his son were anything like him, he might face some challenges, though Saif noted that none of his children are as troublesome as he once was. He added, “Karmicly, I deserve kids as naughty as me.”
Previously, in a conversation with Karan Johar on Koffee With Karan, Saif Ali Khan recounted a pivotal moment in his career. He shared that after receiving a few film offers, opportunities began to dwindle. Filmmaker Rahul Rawail even told him that his career was over and no one would want to work with him anymore. However, things changed when Yash Chopra reached out to him. Yash Chopra, aware of Saif’s reputation for being mischievous, asked him to give his word that he would behave.
Saif explained that he was casting for Parampara, a film that featured a star-studded ensemble including Aamir Khan, Raveena Tandon, Neelam, Vinod Khanna, and Sunil Dutt. Chopra, struggling to find the right fit for a particular role, offered it to Saif after he promised to be on his best behavior. With that, Saif was cast, and as soon as Yash was involved, the same people who had turned him down were suddenly interested in working with him. Saif credited Yash Chopra for giving him a lifeline in the industry at a crucial time.

When Barbra Streisand saw Kris Kristofferson perform before working with him, she knew that a star was truly born. The actress shared a heartfelt tribute to her former co-star, who passed away at the age of 88 on September 28.
The actress took to her Instagram to remember Kristofferson and shared with the audience what was her experience, seeing him perform for the first time ever.
The veteran actress and singer wrote, “The first time I saw Kris performing at the Troubadour club in L.A. I knew he was something special. Barefoot and strumming his guitar, he seemed like the perfect choice for a script I was developing, which eventually became A Star Is Born.”
She added that, in the film, she and the late country singer sang the movie’s main love theme, Evergreen, which she had written.
The legend also recalled that in 2019, she asked the iconic country vocalist to join her on stage to sing another duet from the movie, Lost Inside of You, when she performed at London’s Hyde Park. She further wrote, “He was as charming as ever, and the audience showered him with applause. It was a joy seeing him receive the recognition and love he so richly deserved.”
Streisand concluded her tribute by offering her thoughts to Kristofferson’s wife, Lisa, acknowledging the support she had given him in every possible way.
However, the film wasn’t just special to Streisand—it was life-altering for Kristofferson as well. Taking on the role helped him quit his addiction to drinking. In a 1998 interview with People magazine, he reflected on how the experience led him to choose sobriety.
Kristofferson shared that when he watched footage from the film, particularly the scene where his character dies, it inspired him to make a change. He told the outlet that he imagined his own children and wife mourning him, which deeply affected him. The singer explained that he didn’t want to die before his daughter had the chance to grow up.
After choosing the path of sobriety, Kristofferson met Lisa Meyers in 1982, and the couple went on to have five children together. He also had three children from a previous marriage.
