“Leave Your Girlfriend or Leave the Film”
In the clip, Saif Ali Khan reveals that the film, which was supposed to mark his entry into the industry, was taken away from him after the director gave him an ultimatum: either leave his girlfriend or continue with the film. Saif chose to stand by his personal life, leading to his exit from the project.
Reflecting on his early days in the industry, Saif also talked about the nature of struggle. Unlike the typical narrative of hardship involving waiting for hours or taking long rides in rickshaws, he described his struggle as a moral challenge. “Struggle ka matlab kya hota hai? Auto rickshaw mein baitho aur 10 chakkar kaato. Kisi ke office mein 3 ghante ke liye baitho. Ise struggle kehte hain,” Saif said, translating to, “What does struggle even mean? Sit in an auto rickshaw and go to the same place 10 times. Sit in an office and wait for 3 hours. That’s what they call struggle.”
