‘THERE IS A CHANGE IN TAIMUR, HE HAS BECOME RESPONSIBLE’
Saif Ali Khan says the arrival of his son Jeh has altered his elder son Taimur’s behaviour
Saif Ali Khan has his hands full at the moment, and we aren’t just talking about his busy work schedule. The actor shares that having two young boys — four-yearold Taimur and eightmonths-old Jeh, — in the house has been quite an experience. “There is definitely a change in Taimur… he was the younger one and now he isn’t anymore. He’s become more responsible. He is interested in zombies and armies and he makes his brother laugh a lot and usually (with) loud things. I think we are going to have our hands full,” reveals Khan, as he quickly adds with a laugh, “I am quite frightened as to where the peace and quiet portion is going to go with two boys.”
Commotion or not, Khan has been enjoying the company of wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and his sons, especially during the pandemic.
“The first lockdown was like that. We are very sorted people. My family is quite balanced, we have lovely children. We can cook and listen to music and read books and be okay. But, we really prefer our normal lives, working, and balancing it ourselves,” the Bhoot Police actor says.
Khan and his wife are full-time working parents and now with two kids at home, does it get challenging? “The important distinction there is that we don’t really have to work. So, we can afford to choose what we want to do; we have been doing that for a while now,” explains Khan, who recently went on a vacation to Maldives with family.
He adds that it’s all about attaining the right balance. “There comes a phase in life when you want more and want better; there is no end to that. But there has to be a balance. We make sure that one of us is working less and the other works more. For both of us, nothing is more important than spending time with our kids and each other, cooking and having what you call a family atmosphere. It also works because Kareena wants to have a home life alongside work,” he says.
