Saif said that when the actors are 30, they can drink with their crew and have fun with them post shoots. However, when they grow older, they have much bigger priorities. He said, "After a point though, you are like…this is going to give me a hangover, I need to wake up early. So, I guess its age and priorities where you are like there is nothing that is going to be said after a party at 1 am, there is nothing going to be said that is really going to change your life or is even important, beyond a point." He talked about where one should pour their energy and save it for later. 

Saif's idea of fame

When asked about his idea of fame, he spoke about a poem by John Keats. He said that he has followed that approach all his life, wherein he hasn't pushed too hard to be talked about. He further said people talk about what they want  to talk and he doesn't even have to try too hard. He also mentioned that he does not like being photographed, unlike others who like the paparazzi. He said he doesn't give much attention to it and still gets photographed and talked about. 

The show, co-produced by Jio Saavan and Neha’s Big Girl Production, aims at bringing raw, uncensored stories from celebrities across fields. This is the fifth season of NoFilterNeha and will have 12 episodes in total.
