No journey has a point if it doesn’t get you anywhere. And that’s what makes Saif Ali Khana steady rider. Despite the ups and downs, he kept going -- steadily, sincerely. That is also what makes him a success story. rediff.com traces the actor’s remarkable trip to the top.
Despite his famous lineage (Father-Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Mother-Sharmila Tagore), Saif Ali Khan’s entry in films was no walk in the park. Originally slated to make his debut opposite Kajol in Rahul Rawail’s romantic thriller, Bekhudi, the newcomer found himself unceremoniously replaced by another aspirant Kamal Sadanah.
Luckily, filmmaker Yash Chopra took notice and signed him on for Parampara. Only this archaic saga of strained blood ties and avenging Thakurs was already crammed with too many stars -- Aamir Khan, Vinod Khanna, Sunil Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Neelam -- for anyone to sit up and take notice of this sprightly Winchester lad.
To add to his woes, the Chhota Nawab was ridiculed for pretty much everything -- floppy hair, angrez accent, effeminate looks, lousy acting skills, the works. Taking all the nasty criticism in stride, Saif, with his classic humour and easygoing persona, continued to work towards doing bigger and better.
