The actor, who had to apologise to Kangana Ranaut for his remarks at the IIFA function in July, says nepotism is "horrible" specially if it results in pushing forward the undeserving person.
In an interview with PTI, Saif says, "Nepotism is a horrible thing. I am totally against nepotism. I have benefited from it for sure. Definitely, we have more opportunities than people who are not connected to movies.
Saif, who is the son of yesteryear actor Sharmila Tagore, is looking forward to the acting debut of his daughter Sara Ali Khan. He says nepotism by virtue is negative and such topics need to be highlighted at times.
Saif, however, hopes his daughter Sara, who is making her debut with Abhishek Kapoor's "Kedarnath", will be able to deal with the pressure of this debate.
"She will have to deal with a lot of things. It is not like an academic subject where you are giving a presentation. It is like you are offering your soul for interpretation. She has to be open to criticism. I have faced a lot and have been open to it," he says.
