The latest episode of Shandaar Shukravar witnessed Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan gracing the stage of Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 along with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari.
During the episode, Rani talked about meeting Saif after 12 years and shared, “So when I first worked with Saif in Hum Tum, he was very child-like. And then, I saw Saif at various stages in his life. His ups and downs, I have seen it all with him. And finally today, after 12 years when I met him, I found him to be a highly mature person. His personality has changed completely. His funny nature (Majakiya) has been consistent throughout. With a poker face, he jokes around and I enjoy that a lot. On the sets, Saif comes up with certain things that we can’t even think of and keep laughing at, and with Saif’s poker face, we can’t even tell if he’s joking or not. That is consistent.”
She further adds, “And this time, I am a mother to my daughter Adira and Saif is Taimur’s father so, our conversations were more around both our children as to what is Taimur doing and what is Adira doing. The age gap between the two is only one year so our conversations were more about our kids. I always enjoy working with him because he’s a very good actor and I consider him to be one of the finest actors in India. His comic timing is really nice. So, that’s why I really like working with Saif as an actor because I get the chance to give my best because there’s such a great actor in front of me and I don’t want to feel that if I’m not on my toes then I’ll miss it.”
Saif also added to the conversation and shared, “I think the same as well. Rani is a very good actor and from the start, she said it correctly that I was childish and I think I used to irritate her a lot. So, she’s seen a lot of changes in me and I think I grew up a little bit while working with her also. She’s given me good relationship advice and we’ve become friends over the years. I felt really nice working with you (Rani). And, this time, what was special was people said that it’s been 12 years since you worked and it’s been a great pairing and actually, I felt that I had a lot of pressure to do good work because we had to look fresh when people watch the film. So there was a little pressure, but from the first shot on the first day, I felt that we’re back doing something that we’re used to doing. So it was very special for me. Thank you, Rani.”
