Saif Ali Khan Had Doubts About Sacred Games Because Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Character Had More Colour
There are some who know what they want right from the outset but Saif Ali Khan believes he found his foothold late in life. For someone whose childhood was spent with one leg in the hills of Himachal Pradesh and another in UK’s Hertfordshire countryside, the actor says he has spent a lot of time in introspection rather than focusing on the world outside.
“I think I’m a late bloomer in some ways. My acting is getting better and better today. And I think acting is something that grows with time - something as an understanding and maturity... To know what to do what not to do,” Saif told PTI in an interview.
The eldest child from a high-profile interfaith marriage, the actor recalls spending his formative years with the Westerners, whose laid-back, outdoorsy lifestyle he identifies with. But living in Bombay, the actor says being introspective has now become a way of life.

Teejay Sets an Example With Her Honest Tweet for Husband Karanvir!
Bigg Boss season 12 is in for some more drama with 2 wild card entries recently, Megha Dhade & protege of Vikas Gupta, Rohit Suchanti.
The inmates, rather intimidated by the new-comers were quick to laugh at their expense & were seen discussing Rohit's sexual orientation with Sreesanth stretching it a bit too far.
Karanvir played a silent spectator which didn't go down well with Teejay. Usually families & friends of the contestants locked up inside the house rally around for the latter & also defend their actions. On the other hand, Teejay who's pretty active sharing her opinions openly on the micro blogging site & involved with the current season took to Twitter to share her piece of mind on the contestants that also involved her husband Karanvir who took a dig at Rohit Suchanti's sexuality.
Her tweet read, 'Disappointed with the #BiggBoss housemates after yesterday's episode. How small-minded & nasty to make fun of someone's sexuality, whether it's through words, gestures, mimicry, or just standing at the sidelines laughing. And that, too, with no proof of someone being gay.'
Twitterati applauded Teejay saying they'd like to see her in BiggBoss next year! She didn't mince her words and mentioned how contestants needed to be more responsible. She wrote, 'Everyone in Bigg Boss is a known face now, - is this how role models behave? They should keep in mind that Rohit Suchanti also has a family who watches #BB12.'
She called out Jasleen, Sreesanth, Shivashish, Dipika, Surbhi, Karanvir and the other housemates who were laughing from the sidelines.
