    Saif Ali Khan on his 27 years in Bollywood and film regrets

    The actor entered Bollywood in 1993 with ‘Parampara’, which also featured Aamir Khan

    Cast of 'Parampara'
    When Saif Ali Khan entered Bollywood in 1993 as a 23-year-old, his claim to fame was being veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s son. It didn’t help matters that his debut film ‘Parampara’ failed to work at the box office, despite the presence of Aamir Khan, along with stalwarts Vinod Khanna and Sunil Dutt, and direction by Yash Chopra.

    To make matters worse, when he tried going solo as a hero in his second release with Umesh Mehra’s ‘Aashik Aawara’, the outcome was nothing short of a box office disaster. The audience wrote him off as a misfit in Bollywood, who could neither act, nor fight, nor dance on screen. Image Credit: Supplied

    The turning point came when he took to comedy, after as many as four releases failed to have any impact for him. His fifth release, the 1994 rom-com ‘Yeh Dillagi’, co-starring Akshay Kumar and Kajol, wasn’t exactly a blockbuster, but people noticed his innate sense of timing. A few months later, the same year, he reunited with Kumar for the action comedy ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’, and the audience finally acknowledged his screen presence. Image Credit: Yash Raj Films

    Over the years, the Indian National Award-winning actor (for the film ‘Hum Tum’) has impressed beyond comedy and romance, surprising his fans in every imaginable shade with positive as well as negative roles. Image Credit: Yash Raj Films

    Now at 49, when an emotional Khan looks back on his 27-year journey in filmdom, he beams with pride. “It’s been a long journey. I have done a lot of hard work. It feels amazing when you look back. I have grown up doing films. You know, I was very young when I started and it has changed over so much the years. I get a bit tired when I think of how long it has been. But it’s been an amazing and interesting journey. I have travelled the world, met so many fascinating people, and made a living around this beautiful profession. A lot has happened and I hope a lot more good things will happen,” Khan said.

    Asked if he has any regrets in his life, he replied: “I am sure I have (regrets) but not very serious ones. I think it is okay to have regrets. We all are humans. But it important to learn something from your regrets. Having regrets makes us human. There should be something beyond your ambition. All theses things make for a well-coloured life. So, yes I have a bit of regret but it’s nothing serious.” Image Credit:

    Reflecting upon his journey, Khan, who is currently on a roll with two back-to-back acclaimed performances this year in ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’ and ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’, also spoke of how his acting process has evolved over the years. Image Credit:

    “I think my acting has become better with time, and I understand things much better now. My process is very instinctive. Although there are various techniques attached to acting, in my case it is mostly natural. It’s a very creative field. I have realised you have to always find a new way to do the same thing and that’s always fun. Acting is never ending. Sky is the limit and you can never stop learning. I am still learning,” Khan said. Image Credit: IANS
