After his ancestral Pataudi Palace and plush Bandra apartment, Saif Ali Khan has added yet another lavish address to his name and this time, on international shores. The actor has invested in a luxury property at The Residences at The St Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl, in Qatar. Speaking at a press conference hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif opened up about what drew him to the location. “Think of a holiday home or a second home. There are a few things I think of. One is that it’s not very far away and it’s easily accessible. And then the other thing is, the most important thing is that it’s very safe and it feels very good to be there,” he said. “And the concept of an island within an island is also very luxurious and beautiful and it’s just a really lovely place to live. And the feeling you get when you’re there is the important thing and the views and the food and the kind of lifestyle and the pace of living and these are a few of the things that led to my decision. I had gone there to do some work and I was shooting for something and I stayed at the property and I thought it was amazing and there was something about the mixture of privacy and luxury that I really liked. And again, it was things like food and the way the menu was curated and various things like this. I mean, literally in a nutshell, it felt like home away from home, so that made it very easy,” he added. The new home marks a fresh chapter in Saif’s life, especially after he endured a violent attack at his Mumbai residence earlier this year. The actor had to undergo surgery to remove a knife fragment near his spine. Remarkably, he bounced back to work just days later. Now, with a serene retreat in Qatar and a busy slate of projects, Saif is all set for a strong comeback. Up next, he stars in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, a sleek thriller that will stream on Netflix starting April 25. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under the Marflix banner, the film promises action, intrigue, and Saif in a sharp new avatar.
