There is no doubt whatsoever that Saif Ali Khan is an educated man and a progressive one at that. He definitely believes in equal rights for women. During the media interactions of Phantom, when his costar Katrina Kaif was bombarded by questions on her impending marriage to Ranbir Kapoor, or even when asked about Kareena and he having a baby, the Nawab of Pataudi made it clear that such questions were intrusive. “It is an attitude problem. Why can't women be single, have fun and make big bucks? Why should they be dating someone and if they are, why can't the couple simply enjoy their courtship days without being constantly asked about engagement and marriage? Why should women don their aprons before they want to and then get written off as 'married actresses' by people?“ asked the actor.
