The London outdoor of his first home production being directed by Imtiaz Ali proved to be quite tedious for Saif Ali Khan.
He is not only flying in and out to be with ladylove Kareena Kapoor who is busy with her commitments elsewhere, but also had to babysit his kids Sara and Ibrahim who were with him in the UK.
Uma goes missing
It is learnt that as the children had their school vacations, they decided to accompany the actor for the outdoor. All was fine till their maid Uma, who has been them for years, was around. But suddenly, the domestic help disappeared without warning; forcing Saif to look after his kids, especially Ibrahim, who is quite a handful.
Saifu manages
Says a unit source, "After the maid vanished, Saif was forced to take time off from the shoot. He requested the director saying that he wanted to take a day off to be with the little Khans. Uma had been around for almost eight years. Her decision to leave without warning or notice hassled Saif a lot. He somehow managed."The yet untitled film has Deepika Padukone as Saif's co-star. It is also his first project as a producer.
Gayab ayah!
Stars always travel with the nannies to look after their tots. This isn't the first time that a maid has gone MIA on a visit abroad. Karisma Kapoor had a tough time when her maid pulled a disappearing act while holidaying abroad a few years ago. Even her aunt Reema Kapoor lost her nanny in a foreign country. It is believed that the nannies are wooed by Indian families living abroad with better pay and facilities, and they leave their starry bosses.
