Actor-producer Saif Ali Khan, who is the father of two children - Sara and Ibrahim - says he gives them their space and is not sure whether his daughter wants to get into films.
Both are Saif and ex-wife, actress Amrita Singh's, children.
On reports that Sara is planning to get into film he said: "I give them a lot of space and don't control them. I think may be Sarah is a little interested but she is studying in her first year in America. After she gets her degree from Columbia she can do whatever she wants.
"I think she wants to work in some government agency so I don't know if she is going to get into movies."
He further added: "She gets compliments and she is excited with the idea but her work has nothing to do with films."
Meanwhile, Saif says his daughter is a huge fan of Parineeti Chopra.
"My daughter is a big fan of Parineeti and she says she is the best actress we have," said Saif.
The actor will be seen with Parineeti Chopra in Dinesh Vijayan's directorial debut.

Looks like the students of Student Of The Year had a reunion. Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan were snapped together. The trio look happy to be together again. While Varun and Alia will be seen together again in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Sidharth is gearing up for his next release, Ek Villain opposite Shraddha Kapoor.
We know someone who will be elated on seeing this picture! Yes, it has to be Karan Johar!
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were spotted recently on the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do.
These are two seperate pictures taken with the same crew member. If you look closely in the reflection of Deepika's glasses you may spot a certain Mr Singh!
Anushka Sharma was snapped on her return from Barcelona. The actress was there to shoot for Zoya Akhtar's film, Dil Dhadakne Do with Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor and the others.
Also seen with her is Rahul Bose who plays Priyanka Chopra's husband in the film.
Soon to be parents, Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh were seen the Humshakals party at Tamanaah Bhatia's residence. Also seen was host Tamanaah, director Sajid Khan and Esha Gupta who drove in directly from the special screening she had arranged for her close friends and family.
Amitabh Bachchan was invited to launch Brijesh Singh's book, Quantum Siege. Also seen were Mandira Bedi with husband Raj Kaushal and Rakesh Maria.
Work seems to be a big party for the cast and crew of Dil Dhadakne Do! Seen here is Ranveer Singh looking hot in yellow trunks. The actor is snapped having a good time on Barcelona beach. "Good friend" Deepika Padukone left for home after spending 10 days with Ranveer. Even Anushka Sharma landed in Mumbai today.
Shraddha Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra have now reached Dubai to promote their upcoming film, Ek Villain. The stars went to the City1016 studio.
Ek Villain releases on 27th June.
Tagged as “the comedy of ghastly errors” and “a two-and-a-half-hour show reel of plotless, witless, joyless offensiveness”, director Sajid Khan’s latest offering “Humshakals” has collected over Rs.25 crore in two days.
The total collection now stands at Rs.25.09 crore in just two days (Friday and Saturday), said a statement.
Writer Milap Zaveri, whose adult comedy “Grand Masti” was panned by critics last year, is also happy with the film’s performance.
“#Humshakals is super steady on Saturday! No drop Despite the unprecedented negativity against it! Brilliant! Audiences chose to go for it!,” he tweeted.
The entertainer starring Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Ram Kapoor, Tammannaah Bhatia, Esha Gupta and Bipasha Basu is made at a cost of Rs.75 crore.
The Fox Star Studios and Vashu Bhagnani's co-production has already sold its satellite and music rights for Rs.45 crore.
The lovely Parineeti Chopra taped for two episodes of 'Cine Stars Ki Khoj' earlier today, where she joined the team as a guest judge.
Parineeti had three full outfit changes for the same.
Look 1: In Bebe, Kenneth Cole and Jimmy Choo

In Bebe, Kenneth Cole and Jimmy Choo
Her first look was an all black look with a gathered neck Bebe top that she paired with a black and green flared skirt from Kenneth Cole's Spring 2014 collection. Her look was complimented with cage sandals from Jimmy Choo, a gold cuff and a soft curly do.
I think she looks great. But, I wish that the skirt was not that high waisted.
Look 2 : In Zara and Sapphire

Her next look was a summer fresh look in a yellow long cap sleeved dress from Zara. Her midi fitted dress was aptly styled with some more summer colors that came via her Sapphire baubles. Metallic sheen pumps and centre parted straight hair rounded of her look. She looked lovely!
Look 3 : In Frou Frou, Pernia Qureshi, Aetee and Steve Madden

In Frou Frou, Pernia Qureshi, Aetee and Steve Madden
Her third look and my personal fav of the three is this one. Black, white and red is, in my opinion, is the best color threesome ever. So Parineeti's look with a red Fror Frou by Archana Rao crop top with a draped high-low monochrome striped Pernia Qureshi midi skirt was an instant love. Killer Steve Madden t-bar sandals and a gold two finger Ae-Tee designs ring was the perfect way to finish the look out. The make up and the hair was on point too. I wouldn't change a thing!
There you have it.... three amazing looks from Parineeti.
Which one gets your vote?
All the three were styled by her stylist Nitasha Gaurav.
This year's edition of 'Life Ok Awards' were held in Mumbai earlier tonight and in attendance was Vidya Balan, who graced the event to promote her new film 'Bobby Jasoos'.
Sticking to Indian, the actress wore a beige Manish Malhotra anarkali on the red carpet with a contrasting light pink duppata.
Silver sandals, gold earrings and a side braid finished her look out.
While I do think she looks pretty, I had two minor issues with the look:
1. I wish the sheer sleeves were a little more fitted to her arms.
2. The gold earrings just didn't work against the outfit.
What do you think? Did this Vidya look impress you?
High on the success of 'Humshakals', Ritesh Deshmukh is having a harrowing and exciting period in his life. He's got the much talked about 'Ek Villain' slated for release, is expecting his first child with wife Genelia, and is savouring the success of his Marathi productions. We catch up with him amidst this whirlwind, and wake him out of the promotional stupor for a candid conversation.
Ritesh, it’s a prolific year for you at many levels. You’ve got ‘Humshakals’ releasing today, and a negative, edgy role in ‘Ek Villain’. As producer, you are following up on your successful stint with a Nishikant Kamath film ‘Lal Bhari’ where you are also acting. And you will soon become a father! How do you find the time, and how do you balance all of this?
(Pauses and thinks) I think life balances you. When too many things come up, you do your bit, and hope that whatever you are doing is the correct thing at that point. You hope they will bear the requisite fruits that you hope for. You know, at no point, did I want all the films to come up back to back. Some things are just not in your control. The saving grace is that all the three films are from three different genres. It is physically exhausting, but it is also interesting. Like right now, my mind is racing but I am speaking to you very slowly (pauses) it’s a surreal experience (smiles). So….there is no balance. You just keep doing it and eventually it all falls into place.
It’s interesting to note, that, as an actor, you have been under rated. Comedy is clearly your forte, which you deliver in ‘Humshakals’. But the way you are viewed as a performer, do you think that will alter with ‘Ek Villain’?
See, we live in a country that doesn’t consider comedy as a performance genre. Best actor, you don’t even consider in it. You think drama is acting, which it is. But I would like to see Govinda get a Best Actor award one day, as opposed to a romantic hero or a drama performance. “Aap comedy kar rahe ho but aap acting kab karoge?” That’s a standard question that I get.
You don’t ever ask an actor who has been doing romantic films or drama roles, as to when would they act in a comedy. Though comedy is the genre that earns you maximum box office returns, consistently. Me doing comedy, I am not complaining about it, I am just trying to say that unfortunately, a comic performance is not taken as a serious genre.
As for ‘Ek Villain’, in our industry, if you are good at one genre, there is a tendency to cast you again and again in that. The past 3 years have been exciting that way. Be it actors, directors, actresses, there has been new talent and new approach to films. Existing actors also are taking up different parts- Salman, Shah Rukh, Ajay or Akshay Kumar. Who thought Akshay would be cast in a “Special 26’ and do it so well?
So it’s interesting that a guy like me, who has worked in comedies for so long, was cast in a negative role. Someone thought that ‘You know, this guy has always been seen in comedies. Lets cast him in a negative role and lets see what happens’.
I found the role right for me, but did ask Ekta and Mohit if they thought I was right for the film. They had tremendous confidence in me. I am glad they have shown faith in casting me, and I hope, with ‘Ek Villain’, a lot of clichés in people’s minds about me get broken. It’s early to say pre-release, but hopefully, judging by the reactions of people on social media, and some reactions that I’ve got so far, the film will do well.
‘Ek Villain’ reminds me of your performance in ‘Bluffmaster’…
Strangely, we were just talking about ‘Bluffmaster’ the other day! I know what you mean by that, it was different. I put it on Abhishek’s twitter saying lets do Bluffmaster Part 2, and he said yeah. We asked Rohan Sippy, who said, ‘yeah, well, I am still working on it’.
Here we don’t understand the nuances of comedy. We think it’s one big genre. There are different kinds of comedies, and largely, we are at fault. We mix all sorts of comedies. Like ‘Dhamaal’ , it’s poker faced, meets physical meets slapstick comedies. Most Bollywood comedies mix it all up.
In ‘Bluffmaster’, its tongue in cheek humor. We aren’t trying to be serious, and I enjoyed that film a lot. It was one of my father’s favorite films of mine.
You probably get plenty of script, but do you like to pick and choose now? Is that why you dabble in architecture, to wait out for the best possible offer?
What is a right script, how do you know? For someone who has been doing grey roles, perhaps ‘Ek Villain’ is not exciting. For me, it was ‘Wow!’, very exciting.
All four parameters need to fall in place- does the film work overall? Second does my character work in it? Then who is directing it, and who is producing it. If all four aren’t in place, then a script doesn’t work. Having said that, it’s an exciting time for films, and hopefully, will continue to be so. I am waiting to watch Govinda play a negative character in ‘Kill Dill’, that’s going to be quite interesting!
As for designing homes, it was Shah Rukh who offered me a chance to demand his building. I went like ‘What’? So I thought let me just present something, and he liked it. That excited me. Then I designed Karan’s house, and he has been a great client. He gave me complete freedom and immense time. Somewhere, I took advantage of this as I was caught up with multiple things. He being a friend was patient, and is now happy with his house, and that makes me happy.
In terms of production, you have been focusing on Marathi films – “Balak Palak’, ‘Yellow’ and now ‘Lal Bhari’. Would you also want to produce Hind films?
I would love to produce Hindi films, but I am not sure what kind of a subject would be right for a Hindi film. For example, ‘Balak Palak’ is a story of four friends who are hoping to watch a porn film together for the first time, together. Being boys and girls at an adolescent stage, it shows how their relationships change after watching that. It focuses on the need for sex education, and how parents should be open about these matters with their kinds or else, they might go off in another direction. The Marathi audience is ready for this film, but in Hindi this would become niche. Having been in the industry for sometime, I hope to pick the right subject that would have wide appeal for my Hindi film.
Veering away from films, how do you view this year’s general elections and their outcome? I realize you don’t comment on politics, but as a citizen of India, how do you read this verdict?
I remember having this conversation with Saif sometime ago. This election, I think, was a stirrer, in the minds of people and of the Indian youth. After a long time, this is an election where each individual thought of their vote, as my vote, as a decisive factor. I am not speaking from the point of view of who has won or lost. Thanks to the media, and right from the Anna Hazare movement, the youth was stirred. Earlier, it was about individuals who got support from the people. Saif, due to his commitment to IIFA this year, couldn’t vote, and he really wanted to. Citizens will now keep a tab on their representatives, and that’s a great thing for accountability.
Lastly, are you looking forward to fatherhood? How have things changed at home with you and Genelia expecting a baby?
Yes, I am really looking forward to it! I will be taking some paternity leave. In the last few years, we’ve had quite a few babies delivered in our house. My brothers have recently had children, and we have an eight month old at home right now. So yes, there has been a baby boom in the house, so things don’t change drastically. But we both are really looking forward to the experience of parenthood.
Aamir Khan attends an award function? Yes, you heard it right! Aamir and wife Kiran attended the Star Parivaar Awards last night. He came to talk about the third season of his show, Satyamev Jayate. Aamir has made it clear on many occasions that he isn't really a fan of award shows. This one was one of the very few award functions the actor has attended.
Alia Bhatt was snapped exiting a recording studio. She was spotted looking cute in a pair of shorts and shirt. Also seen with her were music directors, Sharib and Toshi who happen to be the music directors of her upcoming film, Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania.
Looks like many B-towners are turing to television award shows to promote their movies and shows. First it was Aamir Khan at the Star Parivaar Awards and now it is Vidya Balan who attended the Life OK Now Awards dressed in her Bobby Jasoos character. She came to promote her film with Ali Fazal, Bobby Jasoos.
Big Life Ok Now Awards celebrates excellence in the field of film, music and television.
The pretty Heropanti actress, Kriti Sanon was snapped at Filmcity. We're guessing she was there to perform at the Life Ok Now Awards which was taking place in the same venue.
Actress-producer Preity Zinta, who returned to India from the US Sunday, declined to speak to the media and appealed to them to not seek any comment from her or her staff and friends on the case she has filed against her ex-boyfriend Ness Wadia.
"Exhausted but happy to finally be back home in Mumbai. I'd like to apologize to the media but it will not be possible for me to make any comments or statements as this investigation is still on.
"Pls co operate & PLEASE don't call my staff or friends non stop as they have requested me to make this appeal to you all on their behalf. Thank you," she tweeted and posted on her Facebook page.
Preity did not speak to the media persons who were waiting for her at Mumbai airport.
The actress left for the US soon after filing a complaint against Wadia of using foul language towards her during an IPL match at Wankhede stadium and also accusing him of harassing and abusing her.
Police had called her to return as her statement needs to be recorded on the FIR against Wadia filed June 13 at the Marine Drive police station here.
