around me when I come home after work. It’s a great
feeling. The kids have grown up now. Sara is 20 and
Ibrahim is 15. He wants his own room. When we went to
Maldives for vacation, he was clear that he wanted his
own space. I’m looking forward to spending time with
Sara soon. She’s coming down to London from New
York. When we are together, Saif refuses to come out

He loves me in glamorous roles. He loves watching me
in big commercial movies. He also keeps telling me not
listen to anybody. He’s like they are the biggest blockbusters and you’ve been a part of the
