Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has spent nearly three decades in the Hindi film industry and has built a successful career through a wide range of roles. Unlike many celebrities, Saif generally prefers to keep his personal life away from the spotlight. However, when he speaks on issues that matter to him, he does not shy away from expressing his views.

Recently, Saif attended a special Independence Day event in Jammu and Kashmir, where he spoke about terrorism, the ongoing conflicts around the world and the concerns his children have about the situation.

“My Children Ask Me What Will Happen Next”

While addressing soldiers at the event, Saif spoke about how news of wars and violence affects children.

He revealed that his children, Taimur and Jeh, ask him questions about the conflicts taking place around the world and sometimes become frightened by what they see and hear.

According to Saif, they ask questions such as who will protect them and what could happen next. He said he reassures them by telling them that the Army is there to protect them.

Saif also expressed his gratitude towards the soldiers, saying that his children salute them and that the entire family is proud of their service.

Saif’s Message About Kashmir

Saif also spoke about Jammu and Kashmir and described it as one of the most beautiful places in the country.

At the same time, he acknowledged that the region remains sensitive and said that tourism has not yet returned to its full potential.

The actor expressed his hope that people from across India and around the world will eventually be able to visit Kashmir without fear.

For Saif, the beauty of Kashmir deserves to be experienced by everyone, and peace and security can help the region welcome more visitors.
