Saif Ali Khan Cooks For His Staff During Isolation…

“Taimur  runs  around the house, and paints and plants trees and reads and dances”

Saif Ali Khan,  his Beghum  Kareena and child Taimur  are making the best of this we-time that  God has  imposed on them.

A  week into the lockdown and  Saif admits to me that he  is  getting a little  tired of  lazing around. He is finding new ways of keeping himself engaged.

Says  Saif, “On Tuesday I cooked for my entire staff and that was fun. It’s been really serene and quite peaceful . But of course there are sudden bouts of worry .We don’t want people to suffer . We are  going through a pandemic !! Bloody hell , how scary is that!”

Saif is  using this time at home for a lot of reading sleeping and  thinking.

Says  the Tanhaji  actor,  “ It is a time of introspection.We are all happier when we aren’t competing actively . But the world we have set up demands competition on every  level . That leads to unhappiness at times.However  at the end  of the day  we need people and we need competition. It gives the world its buzz .”

Saif says  he is treating the lockdown like an adventure with Taimur. “I’m treating it like a voyage in a ship .We are working out , and reading and playing music  and cooking and chilling .Taimur is the silver lining . We are having a blast with him.”

When I ask if Taimur is  getting bored  being indoors Saif  replies, “Not really. He runs  around the house, and paints and plants trees and reads and dances. He is  okay.”

But Saif admits the  lockdown is getting tedious on Week 2. “We should get over this soon

I am a bit fed up.”
