“Taimur Forgave Me”, Saif Ali Khan Admits He Apologised to Son for Adipurush

Saif Ali Khan recently shared a candid moment with his son Taimur Ali Khan that grabbed everyone’s attention. During a podcast interview with his Jewel Thief co-star Jaideep Ahlawat, Saif opened up about Taimur’s honest reaction to watching Adipurush. In the film, Saif played Lankesh (Ravana), a role that sparked intense criticism when the movie hit theatres. After seeing the film, Taimur gave his father a look that made Saif immediately apologise.

In a lighthearted moment, Saif said, “I showed him Adipurush recently. After a while, he looked at me with a strange expression. I quickly said, ‘Yeah, sorry.’ He replied, ‘It’s okay.’ He forgave me.” Fans loved this sweet exchange and praised Saif’s humility. The story highlights the strong bond between father and son and proves that even Bollywood stars face honest feedback from their children.

Audiences Criticised Adipurush Harshly

Adipurush released in 2023 with high expectations as a mythological epic. Prabhas played Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon portrayed Sita, and Saif took on the role of Lankesh. Despite the star-studded cast, the film failed to win over audiences. Viewers slammed its poor visual effects, clumsy dialogues, and unconvincing performances. Critics and fans especially trolled Saif for his appearance and portrayal of Ravana.

The backlash forced the makers to redub several scenes after just one weekend. Saif, who earlier impressed everyone with intense roles like Langda Tyagi in Omkara, faced one of his career’s biggest letdowns. However, he handled the criticism gracefully, especially after receiving his son’s innocent forgiveness.

Taimur Surprises Jaideep with a Smart Question

While chatting about children, Jaideep Ahlawat recalled meeting Taimur during the shoot of Jaane Jaan, which he did with Kareena Kapoor Khan. Jaideep said Taimur greeted him warmly and asked, “Are you the main man in this movie?” He then added, “Are you the producer also?” The unexpected question amazed Jaideep. Saif, feeling proud, responded with a smile, “Good question.”

Saif Shines in New Film Despite Adipurush Backlash

Saif recently returned with Jewel Thief, an action-packed heist thriller now streaming on OTT. The film also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Nikita Dutta, and Kunal Kapoor. Directors Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal kept the pace thrilling, even though the film received mixed reviews. Viewers praised Saif for his captivating presence and strong performance.

Saif Ali Khan continues to take bold roles and entertain fans with honesty and style. Whether dealing with trolls or seeking forgiveness from his son, Saif proves he isn’t afraid to own up and move forward.
