Reflecting on the incident, Saif credited his mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, for instilling values of humility and compassion in him. These principles, Saif noted, shaped his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, even in moments of crisis.
Meanwhile, Saif also recently addressed rumors surrounding his ancestral Pataudi Palace. He clarified that, despite the palace being associated with his family legacy, he did not inherit it. Instead, Saif repurchased the palace using his own hard-earned money.
