Saif Ali Khan talks about balancing work and family<\/p>\n

When Soha mentioned that it made sense since Saif often stays away for shoots, the actor agreed and explained, \u201cIt has evolved in a way\u2026 But it is possible, and it helps if one is successful. I can name a few people, colleagues and friends of mine in this industry who have balanced it well. They start work at 7 am. The camera rolls at 9 am and they get a lot of work done in a day as well as see their children in the evening before they sleep. It is all a balance where one has a month or two of intensive work and then they are off for a while to maintain the comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saif Ali Khan compares work-life balance to mountain climbing<\/p>\n

Saif further explained that he has always viewed this idea of balance through the metaphor of climbing a mountain. He said that to scale a mountain, one must have a strong base camp, but if someone keeps climbing endlessly, that base camp ceases to exist. Therefore, maintaining the base camp is important to preserve one\u2019s ability to continue the climb.<\/p>\n
