A week after he checked into Lilavati hospital with chest pains, Saif Ali Khan is safely back home and recuperating. Sharmila Tagore, had rushed to Mumbai after hearing about her son's sudden illness. She is presently by his side and is relived that the Chote Nawab is finally back home.

"He's absolutely fine and 100 percent fit," she says. Saif has realised that he was unwell, but he's taking it in his stride. he has to follow medical advice as far as food and medication is concerned.

The most important thing the doctors have told him is to stop smoking. He needs a little rest for a while, but he can start exercising soon but no heavy stuff like lifting weights, though he can go walking and do stretching, etc. Doctors say it could have been worse. Had it not been for the their timely intervention and ad-ministering of proper medicines, it could've been really serious. So we are not taking it lightly.

It wasn't a stomach pain but a chest pain which was controlled by medicines before he reached the hospital. They gave him some medicines in the ambulance and that also helped.

Saif has his ad films and does only one film at a time, so it's only the South Africa schedule of Abbas-Mustan's Race that has been postponed.

But Saif will recover soon and shoot for it shortly. Currently, they are rescheduling the dates.
