Actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are not any stranger to internet trolls. The couple has battled much online hate for the names of their children, Jeh and Taimur. Recently, Saif opened about the vitriol he would encounter when he searched himself on the web , and the way it might affect him for the remainder of the day. However, Kareena advised him to not examine himself.
Saif told Bollywood Bubble, “I don’t read (troll comments). i’m off it and it’s really cool. Because it also helps me focus. It can get addictive, you know. I can google myself and begin finding out what I said when then I read something I don’t like and it spoils my mood. My wife told me, ‘you know what just stop doing it’. I had stopped for a short time and that i really started saying what do I do,” Saif said.
He added, “There are some things about social media which is so dangerous. there’s such a lot anonymity you don’t know who is lecture whom. So people throw tons of violence around and stuff like that. So it can get a touch wrong.” Arjun Kapoor, who was also a neighborhood of the interview with Saif, added, “It’s an equivalent people that follow you so it’s very confusing. It’s interesting that they really just want attention. I feel social media is simply one a part of my life as a person’s being, as an actor, as a star.”
In the same interview, he also spoke about the trajectory of his career and was asked about the time he had to re-buy Pataudi Palace. Saif answered, “It wasn’t really re-buying, it had been like clearing a lease.” He added that cash hasn’t been easy exactly for him, but he also recognises his privilege and doesn’t want to match himself to others less fortunate than him, something that Arjun agreed with.
In an earlier interview, Saif had explained the arrangement. “My father leased it out and Francis (Wacziarg) and Aman (Nath), who ran a hotel there took excellent care of the property. My mother (Sharmila Tagore) features a cottage there and she or he was always very comfortable,” Saif had said. “It was a good financial arrangement and contrary to reports, I didn’t need to pip out back because I already owned it,” Saif said. After the death of his father in 2011, Saif Ali Khan bound up the lease.
Saif’s children, Taimur and Jeh, are always within the limelight, though the couple prefers to cover Jeh’s face on social media. Speaking about Taimur and Jeh’s exposure to the paparazzi, Saif recently told the Quint, “We can’t hide. this is often who we are, they know who we are. we would like our youngsters to possess a traditional life. It’s not an enormous deal, it’s not an invasion of privacy. Paps do well, peace and love.”
Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor would be starring within the horror-comedy Bhoot Police, which also features Yami Gautam and Jacqueline Fernandez.
