Sara Ali Khan and Saif Ali Khan share a really cool equation and their appearance on Karan Johar's talk show Koffee With Karan 6 was proof. Now, in a recent interview, Saif said that while it’s a romantic notion to hold your daughter’s hand through failure, it’s not really needed as one needs to learn from one’s hardships. For the unversed, Sara's latest release - Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal - did not do well at the box-office and was critically a flop.
Talking about the same, Saif said, “I did message her and ask if she’s alright. Of course, it’s a romantic and nice fatherly notion (to hold your daughter’s hand through hardships), but I don’t think it’s really needed. I think she’s quite tough and smart and she gets it. And I told her, ‘you have to go through this’.”
Saif added, wondering if he would want to talk to his mother about professional failures, “She hasn’t really talked about it. Parents want to help and they’re there. It’s really something you have to go through on your own... It’s good to have that reality check, anyway. You don’t want to be that kind of movie star who’s never seen success and can’t walk when it finally happens.”

As to why Sara chose to do the film, Saif speculated, “You must have liked something, you might have liked someone; the director or the producer...” He concluded, “Not much has to go wrong for it to go wrong... You have to keep working through it.”
