His
father
and
grandfather
were
cricketers,
but
Saif
Ali
Khan
decided
to
make
his
career
in
showbiz
as
an
actor
and
says
he
made
the
right
choice.
His
father
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
Patuadi
and
grandfather
Iftikar
Ali
Khan
both
were
cricketers,
while
his
mother
Sharmila
Tagore
is
an
actress.
"Genetically,
I
seem
to
have
gone
on
my
mother's
side,
but
that's
also
fine
because
I
am
42
now
-
I
would
have
retired
as
a
cricketer,
but
I
am
just
starting
to
enjoy
myself
as
an
actor.
I
think
it's
all
in
all
a
good
decision," Saif
told
reporters
while
promoting
his
forthcoming
release
Go
Goa
Gone
on
the
sets
of
IPL
Extraa
Innings
here.
He
also
talked
about
the
book
'Pataudi:
Nawab
of
Cricket',
about
his
father,
who
passed
away
in
2011.
He
said,
"The
book
is
like
a
collection
of
people's
experiences
of
him,
it's
not
really
a
story
as
such."
Saif
is
currently
busy
promoting
Go
Goa
Gone
coming
out
May
10.
