When Saif revealed having a secret Instagram account

His Instagram debut came around two years after he spoke about using the app secretly. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said, "I do have the Instagram app, and a secret account, too. I browse sometimes, but don't enjoy it much. And every time I browse it for a little while, I keep promising to delete it and I end up not deleting it."

He further explained, "I don't want to get stuck in a position where I have to post other people's things. I really enjoy the fact that nobody is really interested in asking me to promote something because they know that I'm not on social media. So, I get a lot of peace and quiet."

He had also previously spoken about opening a public account. "Never say never. I might join social media. Who knows!"
