00:00I know that when that change of voice, when I know that, okay, he's getting irritable.
00:07Sometimes he carries his own food to our family lunches and dinners.
00:09Oh, he's that guy?
00:10And everyone's just like, really?
00:11Yeah.
00:12Are you serious?
00:13Are you going to have that?
00:14I think he's been really brave.
00:17So his choices actually inspire me to also kind of not be in that typical commercial
00:22space.
00:27How supportive is he in all of your adventures?
00:30So I think he's very supportive.
00:32He's also moody supportive, because he knows that I'm like working too much.
00:36Like I was like away in London this time.
00:38I was filming a movie in London with Hansal Mehta and I was away for like, you know, a
00:44long time.
00:45So if it crosses, like if it's too long, then he gets a little crabby.
00:50What's too long though?
00:51Like 20 days, 25 days at a stretch, because he had to look after Taimur.
00:57And he was back home with Taimur.
00:58So then he was like, then he said, then I know, you know, you know, like a wife, a boy
01:03suddenly changes.
01:04He's getting a little irritable.
01:06So it's very, very normal.
01:07And I know that it's normal.
01:09I know every problem.
01:11I'm sure it's, you know, it just happens.
01:13So you can't handle the kids by himself?
01:15No, he can.
01:16He's an amazing, amazing dad.
01:19But it's just the fact that I'm not there.
01:21You know, so he'll be like, it's tonight.
01:23It could also be that, you know, I'm just missing you.
01:26It's as simple as that.
01:27But it's...
01:28We'll go with that.
01:29Yeah.
01:30It's like a, it's a moment.
01:31So it happens.
01:32So I know that when that change of voice, when I know that, okay, he's getting irritable.
01:37So that's why I know that I have to like constantly keep being home after like 15 days, something
01:42I have to come back.
01:43I know I have to be with the kids.
01:45So it is tough.
01:46There's a lot of responsibility.
01:48But the fact is that we allow each other our space and allow each other to do what we want
01:53to do.
01:55And that's most important.
01:56And you know, the dynamics work.
01:57We make it work.
01:58You have to make it work.
01:59Do you guys critique each other's work?
02:03I think so.
02:06I politely critique his work.
02:08Hmm.
02:09What does that mean?
02:10You have to be like...
02:11Let's talk about that.
02:12You know, you have to be like, okay, fine.
02:14I don't want to like upset him.
02:15Can't be like direct also.
02:16Okay.
02:17What is this?
02:18Okay.
02:19You can't just be like 6 out of 10.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Couldn't just say that to someone.
02:22Because that would hurt his feelings.
02:23Or if I know his mood is changing, I'm like, it's a 6 out of 6.
02:28I'm an actor.
02:29Don't forget.
02:30So I can play it the way I want.
02:33But the fact is that I think he's an amazing actor.
02:35So I'm always like amazed by his choices.
02:40And in fact, I think he's been really brave.
02:43So his choices actually inspire me to also kind of not be in that typical commercial
02:49space that people expect, you know, you to be in.
02:53And he's also always telling me because he's done films like Laal Kaptaan and such different
02:57kind of work that I'm also like, you know, so that's what I say that you kind of inspire
03:01each other also.
03:02Got it.
03:03So I'm always like in awe of the fact that he's trying to do something different at least.
03:07How does he critique your work?
03:09Yeah.
03:10I think he's, if he knows what's right, he's always like, it's fab.
03:15You're fab.
03:16You're fab.
03:17The safe answer.
03:18He wants to be safe.
03:19Yeah.
03:20Okay.
03:22So on your Instagram, I see so many beautiful Kapoor family photos, right?
03:26So in these gatherings, is there a funny anecdote that keeps coming up?
03:31Like, oh my God, guys, remember when that happened?
03:34I think it's the fact that because whenever we're all together, I think we all have very
03:40loud voices.
03:41So I think like sometimes we're like not even like conversing.
03:45Like if someone had to hear us, it would be like, are they fighting?
03:48Right.
03:49Okay.
03:51So I actually think, you know, it's like one of those, you know, those big, what you see
03:54in the movies, those big Italian families, ke sab chila rahe hain, you can't even understand
04:00like what, what, what, what, what.
04:02It's literally like that.
04:03We're actually like, you know, having fun.
04:05When Saif was actually not used to it, but now over the years, I think even his decimal
04:10levels have gone up.
04:11Oh, okay.
04:12So now he's also used to kind of constantly talking in that voice now.
04:16So he also enjoys the paya soup?
04:19He also enjoys our kind of, I mean, khaana a lot, but I mean, he's always like trying
04:25to be on a diet.
04:26So sometimes he carries his own food to our family lunches and dinners.
04:29Oh, he's that guy?
04:30And everyone's just like, really?
04:31Are you serious?
04:32Are you going to have that?
04:33So, you know, he's, it's that, he is that guy.
04:37Okay.
04:38Wow.
04:39Karna pada.
