She had also admitted that Saif was a true rule-breaker. It was during her conversation with Firstpost back in 2012, that Sharmila had mentioned that her son was a 'spontaneous' child, and the statement had raised many eyebrows. Sharmila had explained:

"I thought he was a very beautiful baby, he was a beautiful boy too, very cuddly. But right from the beginning, he had a mind of his very own. He was not an easy child. He broke every rule of the game. And that was a trait that stayed with him. He was a challenge. He was extremely bright, very intelligent, it did not take him any time to get bored. He was impulsive, spontaneous, could grasp a situation at once. I was very busy those days, through his early years. From 1 to 6 years, I was doing double shifts, could barely take him to school and back."
