Exclusive: Want to be like Aamir, more interested in choosing things well, says Saif

Saif Ali Khan has done some great roles in the past including Omkara, Love Aaj Kal, Hum Tum, and Dil Chahta Hai.

But if the actor is to be believed, he still doesn’t know what’s it like to be a superstar. He explains, “As far as there are some flashes of brilliance, it’s nice. I don’t know what it is like to be a superstar. I want to be like Aamir (Khan). I am more interested in choosing things well now.”

The actor, however, maintains that he has got his due in the industry. He says, “Sometimes I lose interest in my work, and sometimes I am very much interested. I put the blame on myself.”

The actor gets sentimental as he talks about his former successful phase as an actor, and says that he has some regrets. “When I was successful, I took it for granted. Having said that I have gotten more than I’ve deserved. People have been kind and patient,” reflects the 47-year-old.

Currently promoting his film Chef, the actor believes that all is not lost. He says, “My success is a direct reflection of my choices. I have done quite well but I want to do better. I am open to do age-appropriate stuff. I am 47, these guys are 50 (the Khans). So there is still time.”
