Saif Ali Khan reveals about a secret Instagram account; Calls paparazzi culture as 'Hugely irritating'

MUMBAI: Following the highly anticipated social media debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, which resulted in a swamp of followers within minutes of their Instagram account creation, Saif Ali Khan, who has refrained from creating a virtual account, said that he occasionally browses incognito.

The actor revealed in an interview with the popular news portal, “I do have the Instagram app, and a secret account, too. I browse sometimes, but don’t enjoy it much. And every time I browse it for a little while, I keep promising to delete it and I end up not deleting it.”

“I don’t want to get stuck in a position where I have to post other people’s things. I really enjoy the fact that nobody is really interested in asking me to promote something because they know that I’m not on social media. So, I get a lot of peace and quiet,” he added.

Sharing his take on the paparazzi culture and how a video posted by these accounts creates controversies, Saif shared, “Every time I do check Instagram, I see an actor at the airport either showing some concern about a paparazzi guy who falls over and then the people comment saying ‘what a nice person they are’ or ‘the star is not conscious enough of a fan showing some interest who is trying to grab him and take a selfie’ and people write ‘what a not very nice person’. And this cycle goes on and on, and everyone’s very concerned with what the paparazzi think and what everybody thinks because everyone wants to be super nice, that’s hugely irritating.”

'Devara: Part 1', the much-awaited movie, stars Saif Ali Khan. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film is set against the backdrop of coastal areas and stars Janhvi Kapoor and Jr NTR. The movie is scheduled to be released in two parts. The first portion will be released in theatres on October 10, 2024, which falls on the weekend of Dussehra. Produced by Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram is the one presenting the masterwork. R Rathnavelu did the cinematography while the film's music is by Anirudh Ravichander.
