From sharing father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's legacy to the fads in the '90s, Saif shared many details. Despite being from an inheritance, this man is a self-made star.

In one of the conversations, the actor also credited his ex-wife Amrita Singh for his success. Saif said, "I also ran away from home, and got married at 20. And I've to give Amrita [Singh], my ex-wife, credit for being the only person who taught me to take it all [work/show-business] seriously. She said you can't hit the target while laughing at it."
