Saif Ali Khan has often impressed his fans with his unconventional choice of films. While the critics and audience would agree that he is one of the underrated actors, they were left clearly disappointed to watch him in Sajid Khan's Humshakals. The film received negative reviews despite doing well at the box office.

In one of the scenes, Saif along with his co-stars Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor had to crossdress. The three lead actors were dressed in short beach wear for the sequence which drew much flak. In a recent interview, Saif saw the stills from Humshakals and reacted to the cross-dressing sequence. "Oh My God, Oh my God. Sajid, what did he do to us? What is this running? It is hideously embarrassing," Saif told.

He further recalled discussing bust size while they were finalising the look. "I remember we were discussing bust size, and Riteish- I think he called me a tart and he said ‘I’m not like you, I’m much more classy.’ I have nice little pert, you’re just like a voluptuous," Saif added. 

After Humshakals released, Saif said in an interview, "The film was very regressive. In fact, while watching it, I asked myself what I was doing in it. I knew I had let my fans down and underestimated their intelligence. I've been introspecting a lot and will never repeat the mistake that was Humshakals."
