Saif Ali Khan didn't always nurse dreams of being an actor!

It seems hard of believe but that's what Saif insists on

He's revealed at a recent event for children that his childhood dream was to become a secret agent or an astronaut as he liked reading about space.

But when his cricketer-father Mansoor Ali Khan told him that he'll get shot if he became an agent, he changed his mind!

Saif fascination still remains though. That's why Saif is planning to make a film called 'Agent Vinod' but unfortunately the movie is still taking time to take off.

By the way, a low budget movie with the same name came in the 70s and told the story of a secret agent.

As a child Saif had other 'interests' in school too

He was a mischievous kid and he revealed that a girl with really long hair had to cut it short after he applied gum on them.

Looks like the mischievous streak has helped him to play naughty boy roles in movies like 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Hum Tum', 'Kal Ho Na Ho' etc so convincingly.
