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.
