"Times have changed and we’ve all grown at the same time, including film-makers. There are a lot of people in the industry who’re really enthusiastic about international cinema and keep us abreast. I don’t know how to define my learning curve, but as we go along, we improve. I’m constantly trying to learn. It’s a fascinating profession and I’m only still scratching the surface. There’s so much further to go and so much to do as we develop as a storytelling nation," our March 2020 cover star, Saif Ali Khan says. ____________________ ON SAIF ALI KHAN Shirt and trousers by Selected Homme (@selectedindia); Tarther OG sneakers by ASICS (@asicsindia); On the wrist: Breitling (@breitling) Avenger Automatic 45 Seawolf, Yellow Dial with Black Military Leather Strap _______ Executive Editor: Arnesh Ghose (@arnesh.ghose) .

And celebrating this art of reinvention Saif Ali Khan got candid about his roles and looked back at his recent choices. Stating that he has been very lucky for the roles he has been offered he said, “A lot of films that I have done, especially in the last few years, have given me creative satisfaction. I’ve always believed that if you chase good work, everything follows. I’ve been more commercial-minded before and now I’m back to chasing the best parts of what I’ve been offered at this age and at this stage of my career.”

In Bollywood, to deviate from the bada purdah means your career has come to a standstill. Or you were getting paid a buttload of money. But our March 2020 cover star, Saif Ali Khan went ahead and portrayed the role of Sartaj Singh with such perfection and elan that now, for a Bollywood star to feature in a Netflix original is an honour. _________________________ ON SAIF ALI KHAN Diamond weave Nehru jacket in mud brown by House of Pataudi (@houseofpataudi) available exclusively on Myntra (@myntra); On the wrist: Breitling (@breitling) Avenger Chronograph 45 Night Mission, Khaki Dial with Khaki Military Leather Strap _______ Executive Editor: Arnesh Ghose (@arnesh.ghose) .

Apart from films, Saif has been the only A-lister who took the brave step of venturing into the OTT space with amazing shows like Sacred Games and a movie like Laal Kaptaan. Being someone who doesn’t believe in the ‘rat race’ or competition between contemporaries, Saif will continue to enthral the audience with his interesting line up with Dil Bechara, Go Goa Gone Sequel and Bunty Aur Babli 2 coming up.
