Proving the same, the actor recently hailed his mother and yesteryear actress Sharmila Tagore as an epitome for all working women. The actor also praised her for teaching him to respect working women.

The wholesome video showed a montage of specially recorded messages by Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor for the legendary actress.

Saif Ali Khan expressed, “Adaab amma (hello, mother). Today I wish to tell everyone what a big inspiration you are to all, especially to your children. You have completed 60 years in the film industry. Despite you working so much, we (her children) never felt your absence in our lives or at home. You always maintained a great work-life balance. You have always been an inspiration to us, and all the women out there, especially working women. You have always broken stereotypes.”
He also revealed that since Sharmila Tagore was such an exceptional artist that she continued working in films despite having children, it has taught him to take care of Taimur while Kareena is involved with work abroad. Saif stated, “You (Sharmila) have continued to work in films even after having children; and gave the biggest hits of your career like Aradhan, Amar Prem, Chupke Chukpe, and so many more. You have taught us to respect working women. Tabhi toh mein aaj ghar par baith kar Taimur ka khyal rakh raha hoon aur Kareena London mein apni film shoot kar rahi hai (that is why today I can sit at home and take care of Taimur, while Kareena shoots her film in London).”
