In a recent conversation with Variety India, Saif recalled a piece of advice that changed his perspective on acting. According to the actor, Shah Rukh once asked him who he considered his first audience while performing.
“Shah Rukh once asked me, ‘Who’s your first audience that you act for?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, just the camera.’ He said, ‘It’s the director. You act for him. People watch his movies because he’s the storyteller,’” Saif shared.
