Though Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her debut in a Karan Johar directorial, daddy Saif Ali Khan says he would have wanted her to opt for a ‘stable profession.’ But he ascertains that it’s one of the best jobs in India and both his kids want to work in films.
When Saif Ali Khan talks about his duties as a father, you realise what a doting dad he is. Brought up in filmy surroundings and having been in the business for decades now, it is surprising that the actor does not really want his kids to take up acting because of the “angst in the profession.”
Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her Bollywood debut. The star kid has already bagged a meaty project with Karan Johar and would soon begin shooting for her big screen debut. While Saif is happy that his daughter is planning to take the legacy forward, like any other father, he wanted her to be in a more stable profession.
In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, the Phantom actor said that he doesn’t want to dissuade his daughter from joining film as she craves this excitement, creative fun and glamour. “Who’s to blame, it’s in her genes. I remember on the first world tour we were on together, I spotted her peeking through the curtains backstage to watch the actors dancing on stage, mesmerised. That’s when she decided this is what she wanted to do. Cinema has changed since and she’s also realised there’s a lot of angst in the profession, specially if you have not quite arrived yet. I worry about that, but what can I do?”

But at the same time, the doting daddy said that he is available for any guidance. “If she discusses her profession with me, she will get an opinion, but the decision is hers to make,” he added. Sara’s big Bollywood debut has already become the talk of the town and Saif is happy that she is in good hands. “Karan is good with newcomers and according to me, he is the perfect person for her,” said the 46-year-old actor.

It wouldn’t be surprising that even his son, who literally is a lookalike of Saif, wants to be a part of this glamor and dreamy world of entertainment. However, for now, his conversations are limited to his mark sheets, which Saif reveals he has never shown to him, his rugby matches and such other things about his college life. About son Ibrahim, Saif says, “He talks more of rugby and hockey and less about how exciting his academic career is. He’s hidden his report card, I keep asking for it. But otherwise, he’s settled well. He’s poised and decent which is nice. Yes, both my kids want to work in films, it’s one of the best jobs in India. I just don’t want them to be disappointed which is why education is a good back-up.”
