'It's just a ring, a gold ring'
Saifu discloses the influence girlfriend Bebo has had on him of late, even rolling up the sleeve of his suit jacket to reveal a glimpse of his famous tattoo. The performer was also sporting a ring on the third finger of his left hand, but flatly denied it had any significance. "It's just a ring," he smiled, "a gold ring."
On co-star Akshay Kumar, who is rumoured to get the girl in the flick, Khan enthuses, "I enjoy sharing screen space opposite Akshay," adding, "our pairings have usually been successful."
Saif revealed he has received accolades from his father, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, who appreciated his roles in Parineeta and Omkara. The actor, in turn, is equally proud of son Ibrahim who makes his debut in Tashan. "Ibrahim now wants to quit school and earn a thousand million rupees as an actor."
All set for another hit, the star's future is shining brightly, "I want to take even more responsibility for my career. The most important thing in my life right now is my work, and things are going really well."
