Saif Ali Khan on His Separation
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Saif was asked how he broke the news of his separation and divorce with Amrita to his kids. He revealed that he still feels uncomfortable about how it happened.
“It’s the worst thing in the world. That is something I still feel could have been different. I think I will never really be okay with that, I mean one needs to understand that certain things can’t be out, I mean I try my best to make peace with that and with myself saying that I was 20 and I was quite young and so much changes. I mean you feel bad but it is a strange thing, sometimes you can’t really imagine… parents is a strange thing. You like to think of parents together but they are individual units too. So everyone can be okay with a modern relationship also.”

He did, however, say that a warm home was the right of every child.
“I don’t think any child should be deprived of a warm home and that is something that is never easy.”
Saif and his family were complimented about how they click as a ‘modern family as everybody in the family is respectful of the other’. To this, Saif said,
“You have to be, you have to make the most of whatever situation and life is beautiful. Nobody should really sit around complaining too much because everything’s alright. Sometimes, having two parents might not be the best thing for anyone, but it might be. I mean a nice stable home is a wonderful environment that one would like to give and share with kids.”
Saif is happily married to Kareena Kapoor for five years now and has a son Taimur Ali Khan with her. But he’s also equally close to Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, his kids from his first marriage.
