The Bold Bunch: Saif Ali Khan with Rajeev Masand

In the fifth and final episode of Season 2 of #TheBoldBunch, our 5-part special series in association with The Quint, #SaifAliKhan talks to #RajeevMasand about diving off the deep end without worrying about a safety net. The actor talks about the fearlessness and freedom that failure can afford you, about what he hopes to accomplish before he turns 50 next year, and reveals the kind of conversations he has with his grown up son to prepare him for the world out there.

[@aashiksikaria3425]

The best quality of Saif is understanding his shortcomings & accepting his mistakes. ✌🏻

[@aanchalkakkar764]

Aashik Sikaria couldn’t agree more

[@sadhana232]

Saif Ali Khan should have his own talk show covering topics under Philosophy, History, Literature, Cinema. Pliss

[@sohinighosh2686]

Kareena once mentioned in an interview that the kind of charm Saif has probably its lacking in today’s generation of actors. I feel the same way whenever I see an interview of Saif.

[@sagarthorat9175]

he is godzilla in size department (source: Koffee With Karan) and he is chilled out as he has lived abroad in traditional English culture ..so has good etiquettes and is a gentleman.. The other men have Indian patriarchal egos....

I never said he looked 50. And what's wrong with that anyway? I dont think he was even remotely embarrassed or awkward. You're way too touchy. Relax. His age is a matter of public record. And the question wasn't intended negatively at all.
