Saif Ali Khan said that contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t own a chalet in Gstaad and nor does his ancestral Pataudi Palace have seven billiards rooms.

Saif cleared a couple of misconceptions about himself on the latest episode of Koffee with Karan, on which he was joined by his mother, Sharmila Tagore. On the episode, Saif also narrated an anecdote about his son, Taimur.

He said that Taimur has developed an interest in Christianity, after being introduced to the religion by Kareena Kapoor. But since Kareena doesn’t answer his questions, the responsibility has fallen on Saif. “He keeps asking me questions about God. And I have to figure out how to answer them properly. He was asking something about the crucifixion, and how Jesus died, and why he was killed. It needs a proper answer.” Karan joked, “Thank God he isn’t asking Bebo that, because I don’t want her to give him wrong information, which she’s capable of”

“Well, she’s the one who introduced him to Christianity and I’m the one answering questions,” Saif said. Karan had his own story about Taimur. He said that his son, Yash, is best friends with Taimur at school and that Taimur insists on calling Yash by his full name Yash Johar. This was also Karan’s late father’s name. “Taimur and my son are best friends. He keeps calling my son Yash Johar and because Saif remembers Yash Johar as my father, he told Taimur, ‘Show some respect’.”

Saif joked that he will now teach Taimur to call him ‘Yash ji’, which is what everybody in the industry used to call Karan’s father. “It will be quite hilarious if Taimur, in class, starts calling my son ‘Yash ji’,” Karan laughed. Saif has three other children, daughter Sara and son Ibrahim, with his first wife Amrita Singh, and another son, Jeh, with wife Kareena.
