Saif Ali Khan Buys Luxury House In Doha 3 Months After Knife Attack In Mumbai: 'It's Very Safe Here'
Last Updated:
The actor has invested in a luxury property at The Residences at The St Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl, in Qatar.
After his ancestral Pataudi Palace and plush Bandra apartment, Saif Ali Khan has added yet another lavish address to his name and this time, on international shores. The actor has invested in a luxury property at The Residences at The St Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl, in Qatar.
Speaking at a press conference hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif opened up about what drew him to the location. 'Think of a holiday home or a second home. There are a few things I think of. One is that it's not very far away and it's easily accessible. And then the other thing is, the most important thing is that it's very safe and it feels very good to be there," he said.
'And the concept of an island within an island is also very luxurious and beautiful and it's just a really lovely place to live. And the feeling you get when you're there is the important thing and the views and the food and the kind of lifestyle and the pace of living and these are a few of the things that led to my decision. I had gone there to do some work and I was shooting for something and I stayed at the property and I thought it was amazing and there was something about the mixture of privacy and luxury that I really liked. And again, it was things like food and the way the menu was curated and various things like this. I mean, literally in a nutshell, it felt like home away from home, so that made it very easy," he added.
The new home marks a fresh chapter in Saif's life, especially after he endured a violent attack at his Mumbai residence earlier this year. The actor had to undergo surgery to remove a knife fragment near his spine. Remarkably, he bounced back to work just days later.
Now, with a serene retreat in Qatar and a busy slate of projects, Saif is all set for a strong comeback. Up next, he stars in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, a sleek thriller that will stream on Netflix starting April 25. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under the Marflix banner, the film promises action, intrigue, and Saif in a sharp new avatar.

After Mani Ratnam & Kajol, Netflix's 'Rana Naidu' actor Rana Daggubati supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift: 'You can't be forced to...'
Daggubati added, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. You can't be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them in their life.' read more After Kajol, Ajay Devgn, and Mani Ratnam, Netflix's 'Rana Naidu' actor Rana Daggubati has stood by Deepika Padukone's 8-hour working shift amid the Spirit row. The actor said, 'It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, in Maharashtra, it's a 12-hour shift, while in Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift starting at 7 am. Everyone has a certain mentality, and the city also gives to certain things. You are seeing it as a generic statement - it is not. If you have to shoot on a set, it depends on how much prep you need. There are films taking place on a big spectacle where only two shoots take place in a day.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Daggubati added, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. You can't be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them in their life. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that's their system of working. They end up doing more than what a guy in 8 hours does. It's different for everybody, and it's not a general discussion.' After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas' biggie Spirit, the latest reports suggest that the actress has taken the same step for Kalki 2898 AD 2. While the fiasco between Deepika and Vanga has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress's demands for Spirit. 'The actor had reportedly demanded ₹25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source told News18.
