Praising the scenic beauty, peaceful lifestyle, and safety of Qatar, Saif expressed his deep admiration for the locale. “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.”

Saif calls his new residence 'home away from home'

The actor, who described the residence as a “home away from home,” shared that his connection to the place grew stronger during a recent work trip. “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,” Saif explained.

“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. The main thing really is that it's peaceful and secluded if that's the kind of thing you are looking for.”

He also mentioned that he’s eager to bring his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and their sons, Taimur and Jehangir, to experience the new space.
