- In Sacred Games, Netflix's first Indian original, actor Saif Ali Khan plays police officer Sartaj Singh, a character that has won him a lot of appreciation. But in the last 25 years, the actor has had an uneven career that has had its fair share of lows as well as highs like Dil Chahta Hai, Hum Tum and Cocktail. In this interview, the actor takes through the various phases of his career - the uncomfortable 90s, making his peace with the dancing, and slowly finding this stride.

Speaking of chatshows, Aamir is very academic & boring. Salman seems laidback & casual. Shahrukh is philosophical but repetitive. Ajay devgan is quite nonchalant & straightforward. Akshay kumar comes across as witty but is shrewd. Amitabh tries portraying humility & is somewhat reticent. Anil kapoor is jocular but rooted. Jackie comes across as unhibited & unpretentious. Saif seems classy, humorous, pragmatic & bloody honest. Haven't seen more than 7-8 movies of his. But really enjoy him speaking.
Anyone agrees?
Totally Rahul... srk is funny as well
I agree completely...brother
Rahul K well said
totally agreed..eligent
Well said
Saif is so self-aware in an industry full of pretence! Thats friggin awesome!
Jesse Pinkman True!
Science, biaaatch.
I agree Jesse!
- Anupama Chopra
@@FilmCompanion The reason why the big superstars are so rich but not critically acclaimed because even though they are actors, they only play themselves in every movie and every role.
Salman knows nothing more than being Salman Khan and that's what he does. He might say the dialogues of the character but he enacts the same Salman Khan.
Same goes for Shahrukh who keeps repeating the same tried and tested Shahrukh Khan dialogue delivery and overall demina in every movie.
They are good actors but they are only good at playing the image of themselves that they've created over the time, not the character in the script.
Hey Jesse,what about s6 of Breaking Bad?
This guy is in the wrong industry. So evolved, sorted and uber cool. SRK and him are the best speakers in Bollywood!
@Rudraksh Tiwari when someone hits your real insecurities the next step is to be aggressive and then regard to that person as an asshole... That's what happened with you
Nope
These are the guys who will make the wrong industry right.
Such a genuine and breath of fresh air!
English seekh len aap
I read it in your accent.
Ayushi Nayak
One interesting fact, he is a big CZcamsr.
All is good, except national award, I believe that year SRk for Swades deserved that
i agree and I loved both movies, but SRK in Swades is outstanding, his performance was career best
"You cannot afford to keep getting divorced" , good one by Saif !
He is a true nawab. He is articulate, intelligence, witty & has that easy going vibe.. it's a pleasure hearing him speak..
Yeah right , He's royal attitude and great sense of humor..He is a true gentleman
Yes
I consider him under-rated not just because of sacred games, but he's also done such a good movies like Omkara, Dil Chahta Hai, Race 1,2 , Kalaakandi , Go Goa Gone
Go Goa Gone Is So Underrated.Hope The 2nd Part does well
Ek hasina thi
Shah Rukh is underrated as an actor because he is cowardly in terms of choosing roles. Even in his standout roles (which are too few) - Swades, Chak De, he still plays the messiah. And especially sad because the movies he started with - Darr, Kabhi Haan, Raju --- showed promise of him being like Mr. Bachchan... a great star who is also a great actor.
I think in the long run, Shah Rukh will just be a footnote in Indian Film history, extremely successful in his time but with little repeat value in the long run - more Rajendra Kumar than Dilip Kumar. In the long run, Shah Rukh Khan is a more successful Hrithik Roshan. Nothing to be ashamed of, sure - but much less than what he could have been.
sanjay kumar being Cyrus was good too
Shah Rukh Khan is perhaps (with Salman Khan) the biggest star in Indian movies. I do not care even slightly about how big a star he is. I care about the movies he makes, and are they any good.
The vulnerability that you speak about is the flaring-nostrils vulnerability, that's nothing. Salman Khan, with a good director, can do it, and has done it - which was the last movie that Shah Rukh had played anything but shahrukh? Footnote in the long run, is absolutely true.
I agree with you that Aamir Khan treads the same path of always playing the morally right person, and I do not rate him too much as an actor (however he has a better catalogue of work than ShahRukh). But he is an excellent producer, a brilliant marketer of movies, and kind of a reasonable director.Shah Rukh Khan is yesterday's man.
Can't believe watched whole interview without skipping a word...this is charisma of Saif..an underrated actor who deserved lot more...🙄
His film flopped and he is antinational
Saif is such a delight to listen to!
We agree!
All is good, except national award, I believe that year SRk for Swades deserved that
Like Salman
try listening to Kabir Khan.
He has bains, his accent you might not like it. Ppl do not like even his Indian accent. But he has brains. Look at Race
An actor who shows he has brains. Talks extremely well and sounds well read and so down to earth. An actor who has evolved fantastically and realistically.
nothing but a arrogant person ..all this interview persona is a act
Elite Class People Watch Hollywood Movies Not Hindi Crap. 😕
I have never seen a better brainy chemistry between an interviewee and an interviewer! Saif felt so much at ease and was his honest and confident best because of the way Anupama conducted the interview.
Not too much fluff, not too much pseudo philosophical stuff, the right balance of a free flowing, fun interview!
Thanks Emily!
- Anupama Chopra
How can you leave Omkara in the line of Evolution?
Suvrangshu Sarkar Exactly. I was thinking the same
Suvrangshu Sarkar same!
And Ek Hasina Thi!
Being Cirus.
Same thoughts
He explains himself clearly.. he knows exactly what he wants to say..
Ruplina Bhowmik articulate
Damn, Kareena is a lucky woman!
saif is the most coolest n naturally impressive actor in the industry
I have spent the past few hours LISTENING to so many interviews of Saif... I feel like I am just discovering what an AMAZING person he is... I had never really tried to see much of his interviews.. and now I realize what a phenomenal person he is. His acting... in Race, Omkara, Hum Tum, Go Goa Gone, Sacred Games... is AMAZING & he is far too underrated. #LOVE him.
Same just addicted listening to interview..
Doing the same right now.
And i watched it again... the clarity of thoughts is just amazing. Laal Kaptaan was a masterpiece.
Class personified. I can listen to this guy for hours!
Such a well paced and unpretentious interview. You can clearly see how he's evolved and grown as person and actor. Although a bit disappointed that Omkara and Parineeta weren't on list.
Thanks Sukriti - I just felt that there has been enough conversation about Omkara and Parineeta. So wanted to get his view on different movies!
- Anupama Chopra
I also wanted his views on his first foray into edgier cinema with 'Ek Haseena thi' and 'Being Cyrus.'
Film Companion love aaj Kal?
Even Race one of his blockbusters was missed
I don't know why I feel this but 90's era had so many interesting backstage stories than any other era.. 😁
Such a pleasure to hear him speak !!
A little awkward, but quite genuine
The only actor to have " swagg se varpur" vibe.. actual old wine defines him ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can he just open a podcast. . . He is such a treat to ears ❤
The word underrated is meant for him. . . It's Saif Ali Khan👏🤟🏻 whether the film is good or bad. . You really can't point anything against him. Even Adipurush proves that. Criticism afar. . . But this guy really was interesting to see ❣️
I don't think Saif will ever read this comment.I really did like Agent Vinod, and I watched it in a theater back in 2012. I completely relate to the sensibilities of Saif.
withheld his tuxedo
I watched it too.. it was really nice
Yeah...dont know why it didnt work...i personally loved it
I watched it too and loved it but I’ve realised the shit films do well
Agent vinod is always pleasure to watch!
"People don't really tell us what the path is, but it's clearly visible" This line deserves to be heard by everybody 🙌
Never been Saif's fan.... Sartaj Singh has made me his fan forever...performed with such intent and conviction... wants to see him in many more such meaningful role...
this man has my heart since his ' hathon mey aa gaya jo kal rumaaal aapka days ' . has grown and still stayed the same . kudos to him and his fantastic genes !
the filmy owl plus it is always interesting to watch him speak in the interviews comes across as a non pretentious and straightforward mostly tolerable to hear him speak.
I always liked him for his care free attitude.success and failure doesnt affect him much. He is witty and cool. Good looking, having great dressing sense. He enjoys his life and he is what he is. He dont fake or pretend to be intelligent or perfect. That makes him stand apart from other bollywood actors. He is one of a kind. And i always loved his personality. Many says kareena is a gold digger but he has alot in him than just having money. Anyone can fall in love with him after knowing his personality. And no one can ever get bore listening to him. His personality totally resembles a creative person and that's what he is
kavita ramsariya yup he is so matured I would definitely choose him . Kareena is lucky..
I want a 10 hour saif Ali Khan interview .. he is so .. so .. real.. i love him for whatever roles he has played.. big or small..
Underrated. Saif deserved much much more.
Loved the interview. Saif is such an intelligent guy! Something everybody has said in the comments section. "One could listen to him for hours!" Thank you Anupama! Love
Thank you for watching!
Saif is good guy with honesty
Sometimes he looks like Tom cruise
He's one of the most under rated actors of the Industry.. he's immensely talented
His work as Sartaj Singh is brilliant...
Its addictive. Keep on talking man!!
Saif Ali Khan is one of the finest actors in Bollywood
This is one of the best FC Unfiltered episodes. Goshhh! This man is such a delight to watch, I wish he could never stop with his interesting anecdotes. What a great actor! yet so underrated. Thanks, FC for such a riveting talk!
Saif is so well spoken, I simply love his choice of words and the way he expresses and doesn’t speak too great about himself. He knows his place and looks comfortable with the same.
Karina made the right choice ! Saif is such a wonderful guy. Loved listening to him.
Such a wonderful speaker! Soft-spoken, classy, self-aware and witty, yet polite enough. Underrated, both onscreen and offscreen. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now I know where Sara gets her eloquence from.
Best example of genuine and cool guy. He knows what he is and where he stands and he is very chill about it. I love watching him both onscreen and off screen. Loved this episode. 🖒
I heard it somewhere that Saif is a voracious reader...
This interview proves it all...!
The guy's schooling & upbringing come thru in his interviews. Articulate and fun, take a bow Saif !
Definitely yes!!!! He is so witty and articulate!!! 😍😍
Saif is sooo genuine , honest and humble . He really is so self aware and so grounded . He is so humorous and still so classy .
I would say after watching Mr. Saif Ali Khan my thoughts about him has changed entirely. He is such a delight to listen to and he is definitely the honest stars I've heard in a while.
Has he always been this endearing and entertaining in his interviews, or is it because Anupama and Rajeev always come up with the best questions for these people, who are otherwise mostly asked stupid and silly questions by most media houses? This was a fab interview and I didn’t feel like skipping even a minute of this !
He is really interesting, intellectual, funny, cute and down to earth person..and must say it is one of the best Film Companion interview.
Saif is such a well spoken guy! Could listen to him speak all day.
No one can replace saif in movies like OMKARA, LOVE AAJ KAL,
Sachin hota hum tum
Rehan Verma 😂 yeah! i forget it bro
Race, but you know.....
Lajawab someone ruined the best film series of Bollywood😀
Ek haseena thi was the first time I realized saif was indeed a very fine actor. He should do more complex and broody characters.
Actors intend to forget that thy r human or their time will pass even die but this guy is such a gentleman with right amount of humor class and self awareness ! Legend is who u r! U will be remembered looked up to and loved in the future because u are way advanced than most. Love this guy ... when he talk about the dance 💃 part tho looooool omg
Don’t remember watching an Actor coming across so honest,matured & intelligent...Delighted 👍🏻
Saif was never a big star but has always managed to have a soft corner in our heart.
Because there is something attractive in his personality, even if Saif doesn't do anything, we will be drawn towards him.
Such a delight to hear him talk contrary to others .
His idea of life , work & fun are so real & genuine
I can watch his interview anytime. He is the most sensible person in bollywood who knows how to make a statement without being too loud. Also he has got amazing comedy timing and couldn’t hurt watching his handsome face. Also dorian gray is an epic character and would love to see him portraying him!
He is the True Legend of the Industry. Have been in it for almost 30 years now. He is married to a superstar. He is "DAMAAD" of the most powerful family in Bollywood.
And this job of his is just to keep himself busy. Like he said. He is a Fokin Nawaab. He damn cares abt sardom. Which is why he is above STARDOM. A true actor and a delight to listen.
Saif Ali Khan done a very good job in sacred game.
I can see why Kareena fell for him. Well done. Main Khiladi Tu Anari remains my favourite Saif performance.
Saif, He can become a good stand up comedian :)
Is This Swastik Dash
Like the one he was in Humshakals 😅
The most underrated actor...i dnt knw y but I always think Saif wud have also done justice to Alauddin khilji's role in Padmavat
Ek haseena thi one of my his fav movie ,he was simply brilliant in that movie
His Interviews are just too good
Amazing interview! Great that Saif is going down memory line to talk about his roles & the 90s! Saif is so well spoken&intellectual with a great touch of depth&humour!
Really UNDERRATED actor, he deserves the 4th Khan position and perfect for thrillers. He must do Race 4...
I see Saif and I don't even can recall the initial acting of his..I remember fine performances and genuine way he talks with..
Oh thank you anu!!! Saif is such a delight to listen to and to watch!!! Love him!! He is such a wit!!!
Thank you for watching!
Such a great interview.Loved every second of it.Saif is one of the humblest persons in the bollywood
Disappointing that anupama conpletely skipped over some of Saif’s defining roles/movies such aslandfa tyagi if omkara, parineeta and the likes
pratibhaPandit Yeah I also noticed a big leap when they suddenly went to Cocktail and Sacred Games . I have actually never heard Saif Discussing his work in Omkara in depth. That'd have been so much interesting . I guess we can't have it all in a single interview.
Saif is one of the best actor we have in industry.I love him as an actor.he is very natural.
I watched his films. I luv Phantom and Kurbaan.💕
I am in luv with Saif Ali Khan. ❤️
Mere liye 3 Khans of Bollywood hain
Shahrukh Khan!!
Aamir Khan!! and,
Saif Ali Khan!!!
No place for Salman Khan in my list!!!
I think after SRK, Saif is the best interviewing by Anupama Chopra!!!
Anuj Prakash Irfan Khan>Salman Khan.
Atleast Irfan khan did a good job in representing Indian in Hollywood indstead of playing all those stereotypical roles done by Prinyanka Chopra,Deepika Padukone &Anil Kapoor.
Arbaaz Khan & Sohail khan👍👍👍
Sunil Nath bhai maine Irrfan aur Hollywood ka naam kaha liya, jo tum compare karne lage
nasirali2684 no Arbaz and Sohail 👎👎
Anuj Prakash listen buddy, I hate to break it to you, but Salman’s success wont be bothered with your damn list. In fact, he is fine by his own self, he doesn’t need to be a first or a second or a third Khan, he is the one and only Khan and thats a numbers and facts statement. So yah
The best thing about this conversation is that he speaks from heart and does not pretend. He is so down to earth and tries to make the others laugh by his great sense of humor ...... Love you Saifu
Saifu is an absolute delight to listen to and watch, he is such an evolved, well-informed, and an enlightening person. It is inspiring when i listen to his views and perspective about life.
What a delight to hear him speak! How often do we have self-aware 'stars' speak their heart out in such a humourous yet intellectual manner! Just love this casual and candid conversation ❤️
This guy deserves more hits and successes than what he has now. He has such a flawless and happy-go-lucky attitude towards the film industry. Such a simple person. Salute.
I'm more like #Ajay Devgan school of Dancing
👏👏👏😍😍😍
He is so funny. Humble, intelligent and such a genuine person... Can listen him for hours.... Saifu is such a cutie.....😍😭😭😍
Kumkum Das why u crying?
He is extremely genuine, I feel the most genuine and honest of the four Khans.
He is nawab by name.and by his act, i noticed his etiquettes which shows without telling him that henis from.roya family , he is wise and handsome.
I can listen to him speak all day. Kareena is so lucky! A man who can speak eloquently is so rare nowadays.
Breath of fresh air - listening to him is such a delight .. very well spoken with some funny witty reaponse ❤
I think him and srk are soul mates 😍
They are Mates..
He is fucking jealous of srk..can't you see that during the interview...
Every time I see Saif Ali Khan somewhere, my appreciation towards him keeps increasing. You are a real rockstar nawab.. keep rocking!!
This is what good books can do to you. Saif Ali Khan - the most voracious book readers among all well-known bollywood actors.
Endearing, Humble, Honest, knows his craft, talks well...and like many with such traits - Under-Used and Under-Appreciated!
PS: When is next Salman Movie releasing? let's make it a super duper hit!
Indeed
Wow! He was so open and blunt about things which nowadays no actors are...awesome interview!
Said comes across like a witty philosopher with a good sense of filmdom and what it can offer him. Great interview. Wish him success for years and years. Cheers!
BEST SAIF INTERVIEW
him being brutally honest is actually making the interview even more interesting
I can go on listening to him forever. And when he mentioned Masaan.. wow...
Love the way Saif talks Can see this interview multiple times Very entertaining
I loved him in main khiladi Tu anadi movie 😁
Being cyrus,omkara,ek haseena thi,kaalakandi,race,hum tum tell me a actor who is more underrated than him? The brilliancy of his acting is beyond srk and salman and somewhere near akshay and ammir cause he is kind of actor that i would love to watch again and again and well sacred games actually showed how potential this actor has
He is genuinely a great conversationalist.
i just love this interview......he is very intellectual and good actor....kreena is very lucky
00:40 saif mentioned about sushant
He looks so much like Ravindranath Tagore here with this hair and beard.
I heard that his mother is related to Ravindranath Tagore.
Akshay Das she is the granddaughter of tagore
Vishnu Priya her mother's maternal grandmother Latika Barua (née Tagore) was the granddaughter of Rabindranath Tagore's brother Dwijendranath Tagore.
Such an effortless sense of humor. Witty n cool in the same time. The most fun n enjoyable interview to listen to. Unpretentious n adorable attitude@saif, U KILLED IT! I MAN!!
He is so cool in real life. It's chill to listen to him
SRK is mostly coming up with smart lines and Salman and Amir are boring. But Saif is genuinely great at conversation. Arguably the best in the Hindi movie industry
I felt like keep on listening him for hours.. He seems to b so humble and polite..i have seen him first time in a full fledge interview. Really adore him
Proud fan of Saif! 😊
Same here! 😊
Never been Saif's fan....after listening some interviews of him , seems he is the most intelligent hero in Bollywood, he has transformed gracefully, very delighting to listen him
Saif Ali Khan is a gem of a person.. Thanks Anupama for sharing this video!
