Overview

• Speaking to Esquire India, Saif Ali Khan reiterated that collaborations with wives or girlfriends rarely serve his creative process.
• He linked the view to how his approach evolved after the 1990s, when he was often told he was ‘lucky’ despite not landing the best films or lead roles.
• He has shared screens with Kareena Kapoor Khan in several titles but never worked with former spouse Amrita Singh.
• He restated that any future project with Kareena would need to be director-driven and cast them on merit or against type rather than as a married pair.
• Coverage notes Saif’s recent Netflix release Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins and his upcoming Haiwaan, while Kareena is attached to Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra, with no new joint film announced.
