Saif’s unsafe stunt!

Saif Ali Khan never fails to impress us! About a decade back Saif did ‘Ole Ole’ and won the hearts of many women, however he never quite fit the bill of an ‘action hero’. His delicate body frame and chocolate boy looks prevented him from getting into the mould of a khiladi!

However, cut to today. Its 2008 and Saif has never looked this muscular! Saif has worked a lot on his body to look fit for the action scenes of Race and has succeeded in fulfilling his motive. However, in order to shed the excess weight that he had gained post Omkara , Saif didn’t mind sacrificing a lot (errr we are not talking about his sacrifice in terms of cancelling/ postponing his meetings with Bebo to give preference to his work outs!) we are talking about him sacrificing his fear!

We spoke to Abbas Mustan recently and the director duo revealed an interesting little something about Saif to us!

“Saif is scared of heights and suffers from acrophobia.So when we narrated a scene from Race which demanded him to jump from the 22nd floor of a building, he got cold feet and sounded apprehensive to do it initially. However, as an afterthought he accepted the challenge and agreed to do it himself. He was tied with cables and was told that he would be safe, but killing the fear that you’ve nurtured all your life, is not simple! After the first take, Saif got comfortable and jumped three more times to give the best shot!

Saif jumped 4 times and finally overcame his fear”, revealed Abbas.

No wonder Bebo loves this ‘rock star’ nawab! A thorough professional at work and a hopeless romantic otherwise... need a woman ask for more?
