Saif Ali Khan remembers father Mansoor Ali Pataudi's advice on handling marital fights

Saif Ali Khan shares father Mansoor Pataudi's wisdom on handling marital fights while Akshay Kumar reveals his "fire and water" approach to marriage on Two Much podcast.

"I just think about playing cricket or something during the argument. And I don't say anything. - Saif Ali Khan recalling Mansoor Pataudi"

Mumbai, Oct 9

During his appearance on “Two Much With Twinkle and Kajol,” actor Saif Ali Khan opened up about some valuable advice he received from his late father, Mansoor Ali Pataudi, on handling disagreements in marriage.

Sharing personal insights, Saif reflected on how his father’s wisdom has guided him in navigating fights over the years. When Kajol asked Akshay Kumar how he and Twinkle manage their differences and handle arguments, the Khiladi actor admitted that listening to one’s wife is key to maintaining a strong marriage. Akshay said, "She is fire. I am water. She says whatever she wants to. I just keep myself calm and quiet. Just listen and try to understand what she’s trying to say.” He added, “Do whatever you want, but listen. I think every husband should be a good listener.”

Saif jokingly added that sometimes it’s enough to “just act like you’re listening.” The ‘Omkara’ actor then recalled his father’s advice during arguments: to listen quietly, keep looking at your partner, and think about something else instead of speaking Saif said, “He told me, 'I just think about playing cricket or something during the argument. And I don't say anything. He said, "Listen." Look like you're listening.”

In another funny moment, Saif reminisced about visiting Kajol’s home and jokingly admitted he had no memory of even taking a shower in her bathroom. To which, Twinkle said: “She had a little camera there. So, we have some images which she shared with me.” The 'Jawaani Jaaneman' actor then replied: “A little camera to capture little things…You were the first person I met in terms of movies when I came to Bombay. And we were living next to each other. Yes. I remember your house and your flat.”

Kajol shared a memory of her mother, Tanuja, telling Saif, “If you want to take a bath here, just go ahead.” The stars fondly looked back on their early days in Mumbai, recalling fun anecdotes with the late actor Saeed Jaffrey and even a surprising bathroom mishap involving him.

The latest episode of “Two Much With Twinkle and Kajol” featured Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan sharing candid stories and memorable moments from their lives and careers.

Haha Saif's "just act like you're listening" is so relatable! 😂 But honestly, Akshay's "she is fire, I am water" philosophy is actually quite profound. Balance is everything in relationships.

Interesting to see how traditional Indian wisdom about marriage is still relevant today. The cricket distraction technique is hilarious but might not work for everyone! Good communication is still important.

Love how these Bollywood stars are sharing such personal moments. It's refreshing to see them as real people with real relationship challenges. The Saeed Jaffrey bathroom story must have been epic! 😄

While the advice is charming, I hope younger couples don't take the "think about cricket" part too literally. Active listening and genuine understanding are what make marriages work, not just pretending to listen.

Pataudi sahab was truly a legend on and off the field! His advice shows how royal families in India have such refined ways of handling relationships. Respectful disagreement is an art form.
