Actor Saif Ali Khan, who was holidaying in London with wife Kareena Kapoor, returned to Mumbai a few hours back, to a nasty surprise.

“My hand got burnt as I tried to twist the doorknob open. It was scaldingly hot,” said Saif Ali Khan. Apparently, son Taimur had used a hot curling iron to heat up the metallic door knob to teach his father a lesson.

According to Saif, there were several traps laid out all over the house, in a manner similar to that shown in the classic Home Alone. “I knew it was a mistake to let Taimur watch the Home Alone movies on his birthday,” said he said.

After getting his hand burnt, Saif slipped down a flight of staircase, that was made slippery by a generous application of extra virgin olive oil by his son. Then a whole bucket of glue fell on him, as he opened the kitchen door, followed by a cascade of feathers that fell when he switched on the ceiling fan. “I swear I heard a tiny voice that said ‘Now you look like the chicken you really are’ from behind me as I got covered in feathers,” said Saif.

Saif and Kareena took off to London to shoot a commercial for Airbnb, leaving Taimur with his nanny. “I guess that’s what pissed him off,” he said, guiltily.

Whether Taimur will forgive Saif or not, is not clear. But Saif should be very, very careful for the next few days, it seems.
