Saif Ali Khan has offered a glimpse into a more personal side of his family life, revealing that his sons, Taimur and Jeh, have become increasingly aware of conflicts around the world. The actor spoke about their concerns while visiting Uri in Jammu and Kashmir for NDTV’s Jai Jawan programme on India’s 80th Independence Day. Saif spent time with Indian Army personnel, shared a meal with them and experienced aspects of life along the sensitive border region.
Speaking to the soldiers, Saif said his children often ask him about the wars they see and hear about, including whether the situation could worsen. “My children ask me about the many wars that are going on in the world right now. They feel scared too,” Saif said. He recalled their questions about who was protecting them and what might happen next. His response, he said, is simple: “The Army is protecting us.” He added that his children also salute the soldiers and that his family is proud of their service.
