In a recent interview at a media interview, acclaimed actor Saif Ali Khan lauded Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, highlighting him as one of the "brave" politicians in India. Saif emphasized that Gandhi has successfully reformed his public image, earning him recognition in political circles.

Saif’s commendation of Rahul has sparked widespread discussion on social media, particularly among Gandhi’s supporters. The interview clip has gone viral on X, with many interpreting Saif’s words as an implicit endorsement of the politician. This newfound attention comes at a time when public perception of political figures is crucial, and Saif's remarks have added significant weight to the ongoing conversation about Gandhi's leadership.

Taandav Connection

Interestingly, Saif's connection to Gandhi extends beyond mere admiration. In the Amazon Prime Video series Taandav, he portrayed a character that many viewers likened to Rahul Gandhi. The political thriller features Saif as the heir apparent to a Prime Minister, further blurring the lines between his on-screen persona and real-life political figures.

As discussions around Saif Ali Khan's endorsement continue to unfold, the actor's comments have undeniably brought fresh attention to Rahul Gandhi and his evolving public image.

Apart from this, when prompted about Karan Johar's remark, Khan said, "He wants to cut pay cheques. I think I should have my own union on that. I am sure he is right, but it makes me a little nervous when we hear about cutting pay cheques. No cutting pay cheques."

It is worth noting that the statement from the actor has come weeks after Karan Johar flagged how actors in the industry charge up to Rs 40 crore for a film which sometimes bring only Rs 3.5 crore at the box office. Recognizing that numerous producers often yield to the demands of stars, Saif emphasized that actors who charge exorbitant fees without delivering results are unlikely to sustain their careers in the industry for long.
