Saif Ali Khan is one Bollywood personality who has always been highly regarded for his well spoken thought processes and mesmerizing acting talent and his recent starrer, Jawaani Jaaneman, is a befitting testament to his worth as an actor.

Saif Ali Khan recently sat in an interview with the Times of India and during the conversation he revealed his thoughts on the comedy genre and its demanding nature. 

He revealed, “I think comedy is the hardest form of acting. It is about perfect timing, and you can’t do it if you are not gifted.”

“I am not talking about myself; I am talking about someone like Akshay Kumar, who has done so many comedies. We generally need to take comedy parts that actors do, more seriously,” he added.

Saif also spoke about his inherent sass and swag, and revealed his thoughts on “closer-to-home” roles and whether they are easier to incorporate and create.

He was quoted saying, “It is still 'playing', and it is not really yourself. It is like a version of yourself. There is a difference between realism and reality, and we all want realism, but we don’t want reality. There is a difference.”
