Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor share family jokes on Kapil Sharma's show

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show, where they shared funny stories about their family life and discussed their sons' studies. During the chat, Saif talked about how Kareena's opinion on their elder son Taimur's studies shifts during the day. Saif recalled that Kareena once asked him to speak to Taimur about not focusing on his studies, but later in the same conversation defended the boy and said he works very hard.

Studies And Career

When host Kapil Sharma asked Saif if he was good at studies, the actor made a witty remark that he would not have joined the film industry if he were good at academics. When Saif asked Kareena about her educational status, she explained that things were different when she and her sister Karisma Kapoor entered the cinema world, as many actors back then finished grade 10 and joined the industry. Kareena started her acting career at 19, while Karisma began at 15. Navjot Singh Sidhu then pointed out the example of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who also studied up to class 10 before achieving success.

Cricket Hopes And Family Background

Kareena and Saif both expressed hope that one of their sons, Taimur (9) or Jehangir (5), might become a cricketer like Sachin Tendulkar. Saif also joked that his own career as a cricketer would have ended twenty years ago had he pursued the sport instead of acting. Saif's father Mansoor Ali Pataudi, known as Tiger Pataudi, was a right-handed batsman and captained the Indian Test cricket team at the age of 21.
