Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is safe under lockdown at home with wife Kareena Kapoor and son Taimur Ali Khan. However, he does not like talking about it as he feels hollow talking about his luxurious life while the migrant workers face hardships due to the pandemic outbreak. In his interaction with a national daily, the Hum Tum actor spoke about the plight of the people who have been stuck at home because of the lockdown and said that he hopes the government's healthcare system is prepared for the spike in COVID-19 cases once the lockdown is lifted.

Saif explained how there will come a point of time in the future when everyone will have to step out and risk their own health as not everyone can afford to be locked down for a year. He also added that he has been spending his time under lockdown by reading great books, great music, great conversations, good thoughts and good meals. Saif Ali Khan revealed that he wants to be a better guitar player and practices the guitar along with cooking and spending time with his 3-year-old son Taimur.

The actor's lockdown activities have been shared by Saif's wife Kareena Kapoor regularly through her Instagram account. Saif Ali Khan had showcased his cooking skills on Eid this year and also his art sessions with his son Taimur. Kareena has, time and again, kept fans updated with adorable pictures of the father-son duo.

Saif spoke further about the popularity of the OTT platforms in the country and said that it is creatively more satisfying as the films are more artistic than the ones which release in theatres. He spoke about shows like Sacred Games and Paatal Lok which show Mumbai and India as they are, much more than any movie has shown us. The Tanhaji actor said that he feels good about his decision to work in web series even before it gained prominence in the country.
