While there is always something to talk about tinsel town actors, it is Saif Ali Khan who is the talk of the town.

Sharing the new they said, "We are very pleased to announce that we are expecting an addition to our family! Thank you to all our well-wishers for all their love and support."

However, there is more for the Saif fan club. Khan has completed two decades in the industry and is considered to be one of the most underrated and versatile actors of Bollywood.
From giving us the classic LangdaTyagi from Omkara to playing a troubled police officer Sartaj Singh from Sacred Games, Khan's personality has more shades that meet the eys. And now gearing for next inning, he is turning on a new professional leaf.
Saif, the Nawab of Pataudi is an avid reader himself and will soon be penning down his autobiography. While a lot is written about the Royal Pataudi family, finally the readers will be getting the first-hand experience.

Anyone who follows Khan knows that he is known for his humour, wit and that's what he plans to constant in his signature style of writing.
The title of the book is still undecided. He calls documenting the events of his life "quite a selfish endeavour' and hoped that others find it a good read too. Talking about becoming an author, "So many things have changed and will be lost with time if we don't record them. It would be nice to look back; to remember and to record. It has been funny and moving, and I must say, this is quite a selfish endeavour. I do hope others enjoy the book, too, of course!" he said, as reported by PTI.
The actor said it is nice to look back, remember, and record things before they are lost with time. Bushra Ahmed, commissioning editor, HarperCollins India mentioned that the book will be reflective, cheeky, and fun.

I have always loved watching his movies and his interviews are such a treasure trove of reflection on life and living. I am absolutely thrilled that his debut book has come to HarperCollins," she said.
