Saif Ali Khan's latest film Devara: Part 1 released in theatres last Friday. The actor has been busy promoting the film in the last few days. During a conversation with India Today, Saif spoke about his four children and said that there is no pressure on them to choose the same path as him and become an actor although two of them- Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan are on it. 

What Saif said

During the interview, Saif said, “Carrying the family legacy forward, in terms of being a good person, or a successful person, or someone who has served the country well is different to being a movie star. There’s no pressure on them to become an actor, even though I think it’s a great job."

He went on to add, "Two of the elder kids are already actors, or want to be… Tim, at one point, said that he can’t bear the thought of getting up in front of people and saying lines, I would be petrified! I said that I completely understand. But now he tells me he’s looking forward to his school play. The youngest one is a born performer, if you ever see him, and I know where that comes from. So, there’s no pressure. It’s a great job. But, for me, they could be school teachers… As long as you’re happy.”
