Saif Ali Khan opens up about faith and family values
During his appearance at We Women’s London Edition, Saif spoke candidly about how he approaches the topic of religion with his sons Taimur and Jeh. He said, “It’s a conversation I like to have with them. Because I myself am not the most religious of people. My mother taught me, and I teach my children, that there is one God and He has many names. It’s as simple as that. You worship him in different places. And if your religion talks about loving and forgiving your neighbor, then that’s it.“
Saif Ali Khan remembers his childhood and Christian institutions
Saif also opened up about his childhood, recalling how Christian institutions were an important part of his upbringing. He mentioned that he often visits churches and goes to schools where every morning begins with a chapel session. He revealed that “the children will pray, followed by the prayers of other religions. They will celebrate Christmas: like Diwali.”
Saif Ali Khan is impressed with Taimur’s response to religion
The actor also brought up a new exchange with Taimur that made him truly impressed. The actor asked his nine-year-old son about the difference between religion and methodology, and the boy’s answer surprised Saif. He shared, “Taimur, 9 years old, answered, ‘In religion, we pray, and in methodology, we don’t,’ and I think it’s a good answer… So, we always talk about these things. I’m lucky I didn’t grow up like that. My mother has an open mind about these things, and so does my wife. It is more of a spiritual approach. “
