Saif is probably one of the most self-aware and candid actors in Bollywood. He is clearly a well-read individual, who isn't afraid of criticism. Definitely my favorite Khan off screen.
Actually, it does. Intelligence doesn't mean they'll make good movies. It means they'll make movies that will make the most money. And in India, bad films make more money.
Whitney Elizabeth Houston exactly , he’s the only one who wasn’t offended when told he got into the industry because of his mother’s acting background and his father’s cricketing and royal background, while other sons and daughters deny it completely
if not Actor.. Saif would definitely have been greatest stand-up comedian.. (just look at anchors laughs).. nd plus saif is so smooth with his takes on all the matters thats happening around..
He is so articulate and honest. Probably the most honest celebrity in Bollywood, and far more grounded than I thought considering his upbringing. Really subverted my expectations!
From Karan Johar saying to Anu Ma'am that he hopes Kangana knows the meaning of the word 'nepotism' to Saif admitting that he understood the term incorrectly, this whole controversy has come a long way.
What's wrong with the nepotism debate is that the media is always trying to carry it on with the people who are privileged by the system. You cannot talk with a healthy distance about something that only benefits you. Questions about this issue must be made to actors like Kangana, Nawazuddin and Rajkummar Rao, not Saif and Varun, who never experienced the other side. I know we must hear all sides, but star kids talking about this serious issue is weakening the debate, since we only get polemic headlines and no solutions. Ask the non-privileged side about what they went through, how many years they waited before getting a break or about the roles they lost to star kids. They can contribute much more to the discussion than the ones who naturalized it all so much that can't even see that there's a problem going on.
I just watched the new FC Unfiltered interview of Saif, and now I'm watching his older interviews too. He's such a pleasure to listen to. He's a kind of star with whom you'd wanna sit down and have a conversation over lunch.
He is intelligent and suave , his wife is always into the airport looks and pouting but he isnt he is his normal self . Elengance comes from within you cant just put it up. Liked this interview .
He is suave, smart, grounded and well behaved. As an actor, he is above average but he never stops trying. He is infact much better than many other Star kids. Great Interview.
Best thing about Saif is, he is always just too honest, always bit confused and never pretend to be over smart. He was the life, soul and heart of Kal Ho Na Ho because Saif played himself so brilliantly, just like Kareena in Jab We Met and Kangana in Queen.
The year was 2005. Saif was effusive in his praise for Shahrukh Khan, even thanking him for the award he had received. Today, when he lists the names of the superstars he admires, he avoids mentioning Shahrukh!
A intelligent interview! Saif Ali Khan is a very intellectual man who thinks very deeply! He deserves much more after being in the industry for over 25 years! The HIGHLIGHT was where he said SALMAN KHAN was the BIGGEST SRAR THEN and NOW!
It’s always amazing to hear Saif. What’s interesting is how he has grown up and now sounds like his own father. In minds of the audience, Saif will always remain Sameer from DCH. He is indeed well bought up. I also think he gels with Anupama and the conversation is always so insightful.
The actor whose interview i always look forward to.. Full of wit, innocence and humor.. Though i will never forgive Anupama for praising Varun's over acting..
The grace and the poise with which Anu ma’am conducts her interviews is something I really look up to. I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in film journalism and there’s no one better than Film Companion and Anupama Chopra for reviews and interviews. Hoping to meet you one day ma’am and learning how to be confident and charming at the same time Cheers
Wow - thanks Vinamra. That’s high praise. Good luck with pursuing film journalism - as a first step, read all the great film critics - Pauline Kael, Anthony Lane, AO Scott. - Anupama Chopra
He’s so charming & suave!! I always love watching him in interviews! I loved that owned his actions about the joke on Nepotism, etc. It really takes a secure man to do that! In fact, he’s made Kareena a lot more balanced and secure as well! Now if we can all land a secure and stable man like Saif! Haha!
Saif's open letter on Nepotism was one of the most balanced views on that subject. If you've actually read it, you'll know that nothing he said was actually offensive. It was the timing of that post that brought all the trouble. For him to man up and apologize to the implications of the letter, talks volumes of his value system. Good job Saif, and good luck for Chef!
The last bit at 27:39 where he says "Hi this is Saif Ali Khan...", it's almost as if he forgot the channel name, and they had a cut and then put the rest of it. Laughed more than I should have.
he is the first person from the industry to actually figure out the real reason why his films n films in general r not working. they blame it on the audience for not coming to the theatres while they present us with the same stories n horrible direction.
He is this one man from Bollywood I can respect simply for being human. Even without stardom and his mighty background. I can respect him for the kind of person he is. Kareena has made a great choice.
Film Companion you replied 😦. Glad that you can take criticism in jest and I also know that I won't be able to see why you find an "actor" like Varun Dhawan talented.
this guy is a very intelligent... the one thing that i really like about him is that...he is very very very normal about the knowledge and reading he does..... So clever.. And has a very natural approach to the luxurious life he has.. ...
Thank you so much FC for Saif's interview. Handsome man, well read, down to earth, so humble. I did not want the interview to end. What a wonderful interview. Whenever he speaks it makes sense and Anu maam hats off to you. I always wait for your interviews.
Dont know about his other films But Phantom was really a very good picture... The last scene of the movie still gives goosebumps... Phantom's failure in box office only shows how bad taste we have regarding films
Saif is such a genuine person. Being a star, a celeb he is totally different from others. Grounded person, Humble, No sham all truth. He is just WOW 😂. Just love him 😍😍😍😍. He is like Tony Stark of Bollywood ✨.
He is one of my most fav actor of Indian cinema and my brother too. I love he accepts his mistakes and knows and aware of what he meant and what he is talking. Intelligent Guy
Loved it... specially the second half !! Saif is honest when he wants to ... Personally, I like his genre of cinema which is more natural and practical humour..
Saif your interviews. And talk shows are always enjoyable.alway so candid, pleasant and pleasant Your recent moovie, chef was so entertaing , heartfelt and beautiful message. Parineeta is my most favourite film Saif did with another of My favourite Vidya Balan.
Such a gentleman. Absolutely loved the “Audrey Hepburn” portion. @FilmCompanion, this is the first video of yours that I watched and if this is the kind of content your channel has, I will keep watching and also recommend some to my friends.
Fun, intelligent, well read, well informed, well travelled like real travel, well mannered, pretty honest good looking guy. He is so different from the filmy crowd. That's what's great about him. A man of good taste and good humor.
Chef after Parineetha was according to me were two of saif's best movies I enjoy your interviews and talk on the various topics. You are the perfect combination of beauty, brains and charm you are my most loved Saif .

"sometimes in India being privileged, it just gives you human rights"
That is extremely hard hitting reality.
completely agree, because, for unprivileged democracy, human rights, secularism are just fancy words.
when did he say that
Dina Saleh 24:13
That was really scoring
Saif is probably one of the most self-aware and candid actors in Bollywood. He is clearly a well-read individual, who isn't afraid of criticism. Definitely my favorite Khan off screen.
Irrfan khan and saif Ali khan are my favorite khans

Saif is always incredibly charming. He’s really well-spoken and doesn’t have the starry airs that most actors/stars give off.
Saif and Shahrukh are the most intelligent especially during interviews, sadly it doesn't reflect on their movie choices.
Totally agree
You nailed it!
Lol shots fired !! 😂
Actually, it does. Intelligence doesn't mean they'll make good movies. It means they'll make movies that will make the most money. And in India, bad films make more money.
I wish you will listen to the interviews of r madhavan,John Abraham and more.sadly nobody is showering any doctorates on him.
He deserves to be on the Saif side of criticism
Mr IY karan and Varun put him in trap. Saif seems to be genuine and guilty for what he did on stage.
Is that you dad?
I agree, coz there's no such thing as too many Saifs spoiling the broth.
MrDreamer121 Yes back with the dad jokes
Silver Sword Oh my god
The last 7 minutes of this interview has some of the most hard-hitting truths about Bollywood today... Saif killed it😁🙌
We're glad you liked watching it!

Big questions comes to mind is how on earth he married Kareena Kapoor when she comes across so shallow !
I had the same thought!
Opposites attract.. He is sauve smart sophisticated and very no nonsense types she is well.. Just the opposite
This has to be by far the most honest interview. How well read is this man, he said it all, offended none. Truly has my heart.
Ever so charming Saif, would have expected no less. Once again a good interview by Anupama Chopra!

Rohan S Hari but that analogy with Horse breeding was quite unnecessary
Rohan S Hari What do you smoke buddy let me know.
It made no sense and it was blatantly infuriating and idiotic
