Saif Ali Khan says he was in a ‘mental and professional ditch’

Actor thanked filmmakers for offering him good roles so he could restart his career

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has opened up about the important role his work has played on his life. Among the busiest actors in Bollywood currently, Saif is looking forward to the release of multiple projects such as Bhoot Police, Tandav, Adipurush among others.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Saif recalled being in a ‘ditch’, mentally and professionally, following which he thanked filmmakers for offering him good roles so he could restart his career.

“Honestly, I believe I have worked very hard. I was in a bit of a ditch, mentally and professionally. I managed to get out of that. It is like climbing a mountain. I feel like I am on base camp 1 and we have made progress but there is a long way to go. The ropes are set, the boots are tied, and we have got our sights on the hill and we are climbing. There is a really nice line up. I am super excited Bhoot Police is finally, 80% complete and it’s a dream role for me. We really had a good time doing that,” he told the outlet.

“It is a nice place to be. It has not been particularly easy. The work has been fab, a lot of people have been super supportive and it’s nice, because it is the only thing that has gotten me out of that feeling. Just by working hard and choosing the right scripts. People have also supported me by offering me those parts,” he added.

Saif was shooting for Bhoot Police with Arjun Kapoor in Himachal Pradesh in the latter half of 2020. The film also stars Yami Gautam and Jacqueline Fernandez. His Amazon web series Tandav is also slated for a January 15 release. The show features Sunil Grover, Dimple Kapadia, Sarah Jane Dias and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as his co-stars.

And he also has the Bunty Aur Bubbly sequel with Rani Mukerji and Siddhant Chaturvedi in the pipeline.
