You might think that Saif Ali Khan, son of actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketer Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi had a very easy early life. However, that's not the case. Saif had his share of ups and downs in his career right from his early years. Saif studied at The Lawrence School in Himachal Pradesh and later was enrolled at Winchester College in London. His parents expected him to pursue education from reputed institutions like Oxford but that did not happen.
The Sacred Games actor, in an exclusive interview for mid-day's special segment, Sit with Hitlist, spilled beans on his struggle and his relationship with his parents. He said, "So I went to a really academic, school — the oldest in England — Winchester. The idea [of being there] was obvious. You go to Oxford [or a similar place] thereafter. That hadn't worked out. I was in the black books of my parents, what with Delhi, partying and Ghungroo. I was getting scared. Because there was nothing I was interested in."
