In a latest chat with Zoom, Saif shared that he was fairly ‘proud’ of the interview but in addition revealed that he was on ‘medication’. “I think I’m on medication. Let’s call it medication,” he stated.

The actor added that he ‘looks like’ he’s on medicine and never ‘mentally all there’. “I look like I’m on medication. But I’ve done so many interviews and I think I’ve been medicated on some of them. Not been completely mentally all there sometimes,” he stated.

Saif Ali Khan, who will need to have been in his 20s on the time of the interview, stated he was fairly unpretentious on the time, a high quality that he sees in his son Ibrahim Ali Khan as properly. “I think at a certain age you should be unpretentious and simple, which I see in young Ibrahim also and I think it’s nice. But to have the same attitude at a later age in life is not necessarily correct so I am very proud of that interview because that’s who I was,” he stated.

For the unversed, the interview had Saif saying that his favorite poets are “Faiz and Ghalib”. Soon after saying that, he backtracked and stated, “I am talking rubbish. My grandmother used to read this and my father reads it. Yeh koi umar hai inn cheezon ko padhne ka (Is this the age to read such things?)” He concluded by saying “Padhne jaayein toh Quran Sharif bhi kamaal ki poetry hai (Quran Sharif also has brilliant poetry).”

This interview generated plenty of reactions on Twitter. A person commented, “I would very much like to have what saif ali khan had before giving this interview. preferably every day.” Another person wrote, “When u realize that A young #SaifAliKhan was #AnanyaPandey Max Pro Ultra.”
