"Kurbaan" has been given an 'A' certificate owing to its violent content and also because of erotic scenes picturised on Saif and Kareena. "Kurbaan", about global terrorism, stars Saif, Kareena and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles.

"Kaminey" also got an 'A' certificate because of its dark and violent content.

Has he ever spoken to Sharmila about the A certificates for "Kurbaan" or "Kaminey"?

"No, I don't talk about any particular movie per se but I do know of her general views and opinions when it comes to censoring a film," said Saif.

"She doesn't have any problems with anything shown on screen. But, yes, she has problems with things that are shown to children. She will ban something if there is something which is inflammatory.

"Of course, she is the right judge of things and may be I don't know everything that she looks at in a movie during censoring. What I know for sure is that she is a good mother and follows the same caring attitude when it comes to censorship as well," said Saif.
