The Saif Ali Khan Chat

Saif Ali Khan came in late and started ordinarily enough, chatting about his movies, making the odd joke about the Clinic shampoo ads, and pointedly discussing the flight he had to catch. But somewhere along the way, he got far more involved than he intended to... Read on.


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:16 IST)
Hi guys , I'm sorry I'm late. I'm here now at your mercy!


Jezebel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:14 IST)
So, Mr Khan, what took you so long?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:17 IST)
Shooting was extended a lil bit, and Kemps Corner is like really far from where we were.....anyone know where I can get a good haircut?;-)


Jezebel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:16 IST)
oh well... maybe saif can tell us something about his next project.... he IS here, right?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:21 IST)
Jezebel: I'm doing Sooraj Barjatiya's next movie called Hum Saath Saath Hain. It's a very good role. One might almost view it as a break and look forward to life taking a upward turn,,....hope so anyway:-)

Also shooting for Mr Aashiq for Mr Mahesh Bhatt which seems to be coming along well also. Loveria with Kundan Shah, Friends with Kundan Shah, Kaache Dhaage with Ajay Devgan and Keemat with Akshay Kumar.


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:24 IST)
Saif bhai, hindi mein poocha to chalega na?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:26 IST)
Santi: daudega:-)


Jezebel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:20 IST)
Going by your Clinic Active ads, you don't need a hair cut... :-)


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:23 IST)
Jezebel: Last time I was surfing the net it seemed to be a common complaint! Anyway, the Clinic ad involves hairdye and hair dryers and will probably leave you balding before even using the shampoo (I hope its not illegal saying that about the product):-)


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:22 IST)
Saif: Kya yaar, Poona me hooon isliye bhool rahe ho kya?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:24 IST)
Santi: Hi apparently Pune is a crazy party place. I don't go there much. The highway is hell. Cheers.


Alex (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:21 IST)
Saif : I am not from India, and only recently have I started learning of the fantastic world of Bollywood. So please bear with my somewhat naive questions. Are you related to all the other Khans ?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:25 IST)
Alex: Yeah sure:-) *LOL* are you related to all the other Alexes?:-)*no offense*


FRIEND (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:25 IST)
Saif: btw..how come all ur movies are goin flops??


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:27 IST)
Friend: Probably a bad choice of script and therefore certain lack of motivation and lack of concentration. Wasn't expecting anything much this year hopefully the coming few months will be much better. I guess they were bad movies if you wanna a direct answer:-)


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:27 IST)
Saif: btw, u need to trim your hair and put on some weight...


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:29 IST)
Santi: I need to LOSE some weight and didn't I just ask you about a barber?:-) Can't have very short hair, 'cause, technically speaking, I have to balance my face, I have broad cheekbones.


mohamed anwar (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:28 IST)
Saif if you would recall we had invited you to visit Maldives. Remember Sunil and Venus too talked to you...


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:30 IST)
Mohamed Anwar: I would love to go to the Maldives I keep talking about it to Amrita, Sara would freak on the beach. Cheers. Invite me again:-)


Santanu (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:20 IST)
Hi Saif ... This is Santanu calling from Curacao (near Venezuela) ... Howdi .... *smile and extends hand for a handshake*


Santanu (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:27 IST)
Hi Saif .. I am not in india, and don't know much about Bollywood ... but were a fan of our dad on the field and your mom on screen ... Hello ... *still patiently keeps the hand extended, for a handshake*


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:31 IST)
Santanu:*shaking your hand* anything else you want me to shake?;-) I'm a fan of dad's myself ...... and mom too incase she is listening.


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:31 IST)
Mr Khan..... don't you think hindi movie plots are getting very hackneyed? considering we're moving into the 21st century and all that jazz, shouldn't hindi movies be maturing a bit?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:33 IST)
Jezebel: Not my department boss:-) But I guess I could be more selective and act like less of a rat in a race. Why have you got such an aggressive name?:-)Wasn't Jezebel a Biblical not-so-nice woman?:-)


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:35 IST)
Well, actually, Mr Khan, jezebel was a biblical woman who was made out to be not so nice. actually she was fairly alright... as with all religious myths/legends, it depends on the interpretation of the story


mohamed anwar (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:32 IST)
Saif...How is Sunil...Have you got any shooting with him


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:31 IST)
Saif : the last film I saw of you was Hamesha... Stretched for too long... Why don't they make 90-minute films... Why don't u start the trend?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:38 IST)
Mohemed Anwar: Yeah, Humse Bhad Kar Kaun.
Santi: I wish one could act in 90 minute movies, they'd be so much easier to hold. But since most of the money comes in from the music, it'll have to be somebody else to make the first move. Hamesha was long; it could have had more soul and depth. I felt it was like a bimbo, very good to look at...that's pretty much it.


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:37 IST)
Saif: is it true that both u and sheety are here???


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:38 IST)
Santi: who is sheety?:-)


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:26 IST)
A question: What is your dream role... the one you'd most love to do....


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:40 IST)
Jezbel: I don't know -- James Bond meets Archie?>:-)I dunno anything real... you know people are not always very nice its boring to play nice guys. Someone with a sense of humour, with a violent streak, and a unique philosophy of life, anything I'm not!


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:43 IST)
so does that mean that you don't have a sense of humour or a violent streak or even a unique philosophy of life? then pray, o great khan, how do you describe yourself?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:51 IST)
OKay Jezbel: I guess I meant I want to play characters that give me a break from my existence. And not have to conform to a stereotype. Perhaps I should play exactly myself. Having fried my brain trying to find answers, I have decided that I'm not looking for any metaphysical understanding. A wise man once said, "When a glimmer of understanding appears it grows and spreads like a cancer until you are replaced by it." Can simple happiness be an ultimate goal? Please don't say that, that is what is part of all philosophy.:-)I think I like you:-)


FRIEND (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:40 IST)
Friend Offers Saif a cup of coffee :))..u must be tired..had a long day..


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:41 IST)
Friend: The days not over yet... got a flight to catch to Hyderbad at 7 am. Make it black -- *the coffee*:-)


vamsi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:41 IST)
Are you out of the chat or what? Why don't you reply the damn thing man?


Sapana (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:42 IST)
Any new movies coming with Akshay?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:45 IST)
Where are you, Wamsi? Don't be mean when we can't see you. What was your question?
Sapana: Loveria directed by Kundan Shah is my next film with Karisma. It's a crazy comedy about a driver and a maid pretending to be a rich person, financed by other servants. Also doing Sooraj Barjatiya's next film with Karisma.


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:46 IST)
Hey guys guess what. England's probably winning:-)


santi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:43 IST)
saif: i stayed in hyd. for 14years. u like the place?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:53 IST)
Vamsi or someone else asked about Hyderabad. I have nothing against the place the Banjara is a lovely hotel. It's just the flight time I can't handle. And chatting from the Rediff office in Bombay


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:54 IST)
you can't handle chatting from the Rediff office in Bombay?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:56 IST)
Jezbel: I said I can't handle the flight times:-)


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:50 IST)
what was it like when your first film was released? what were your feelings then?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:55 IST)
Jezbel: I was paranoid I was panicking when my first film released. I was watching it in the theatre and at that stage all I wanted was not to be laughed at and abused its a tough audience . But its amazing how quickly we go from just wanting acceptance to yearning for superstardom. I can't tell you what it was like its a defining moment watching yourself on screen with a live audience, who are not your friends.


nik (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:53 IST)
Howdy Saif, Howz Amrita??


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:56 IST)
Nik: Pretty cheesed off that I'm talking to you at 12:00:-)


vamsi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:56 IST)
Hey Saif when are you chatting the next time man? You are cool dude.


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:58 IST)
Vamsi: It seems I have gone up in your estimation:-)Viva Rediff On The Net. This is the first time I'm doing this but I would love to do it again.


bmwrules (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:58 IST)
Saif.... I know you are busy but you haven't answer my question.... Which actress do you like working with, most, least?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:0 IST)
BMWrules:Should I be really honest? What I mean is will the actresses find out?:-) Most, Kajol , very professional very understanding and a support to your performance . Worst , Karisma cause she takes aaaaaaaggggggggggggggess doing make up and combing her hair, by which time I have forgotten my lines:-) But she has lovely eyes so I don't mind:-)


mohamed anwar (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:57 IST)
Saif...you have said that you would love to come to Maldives...why is it that you find it difficult to accept the invitations...Inspite of your family enjoying on the beaches. We have so many fans of yours just waiting to see you.....


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:1 IST)
Mohemed Anwar: Send me a card please:-)


mohamed anwar (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:0 IST)

vamsi (Fri Dec 19 1997 11:59 IST)
I think you guys need some training in keyboarding. Why is everybody so slow, or is it my damn computer?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:2 IST)
Vamsi: BUCK UP??????


jezbel (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:1 IST)
Mr khan.... do you still feel the same panic when a movie of yours is released as when the first one was? or are you surer of yourself now?


Mr Saif Ali Khan (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:5 IST)
Jezbel: I'm dying to get back to you:-)Its a different panic now. Like I said one is now looking for a major response to what one is trying to do, please call me Saif:-)even though I love it when you say Mr Khan like that....:-)


vamsi (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:3 IST)
Now you might know what does "Buck Up" means? Huh, wazzup

vamsi (Fri Dec 19 1997 12:7 IST)
Hey Saif, firstly its Vamsi, not Wamsi. What kind of music do you listen to. I don't think you are into Michael Jackson's crap, are you?


Vamsi: I'm not into anyone's crap, Mike is quite cool but I'm more into the 70's -- Led Zep, Deep Purple, The Doors, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Funk:-)
