Hello friends! We have cause to believe that Saif Ali Khan is the most underrated Khan of our time. Allow us to present our case.
Exhibit A: He's GREAT at interviews.
Exhibit B: He was the first mainstream Bollywood actor to delve into the world of OTT.
Exhibit C: He has made some great choices when it comes to his films.
Exhibit D: He's very self-aware.
Exhibit E: He's done several offbeat films and done them in style.
Mind you, he also expresses that he doesn't seek these films out to be "cool" or "quirky", but that he's genuinely interested in them and firmly believes that he happened to be the "right guy at the right place" to be able to bag them.
Exhibit F: His range is awe-inspiring!
Exhibit G: He is not afraid to take setbacks on the chin.
Exhibit H: He's been very candid about being insecure as an actor.
Exhibit I: But he's also found a way to move past that.
He's talked about secretly reveling in someone's failure at times. Let's face it, we've all been there at some point, and it's not a great feeling. Saif too agrees that he's never really felt great after having that kind of reaction to someone's failure and said something very profound...
...here's what he said.
Exhibit J: He always talks about what he learns from other actors and how he incorporates that in his work.
Exhibit K: He has moved beyond the "vanity of being a star".
In the same interview, he goes on to say that he doesn't want to be concerned with the vanity of being a star, and simply wants to do the work that is expected of him by his director.
Isn't that just admirable?
