Saif Ali Khan Shares His Thoughts On God And Religion

Actor Saif Ali Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Bhoot Police. The film is directed by Pavan Kirpalani and features Jacqueline Fernandez, Yami Gautam, Arjun Kapoor and Jaaved Jaaferi. In a Zoom interview, Saif spoke about his views on god and religion and said: "I am agnostic in real life. I am very secular in the sense that I think too much religion worries me because they put an emphasis on the afterlife. And not enough emphasis on this life. I find too much of religion to be an organization and too many problems — associated with basically my god, or your god or whose god is better. I pray, and I try to focus my own energy on things. I'm more spiritual,"  https://youtu.be/ZpZQDjBw-TE
