Saif Ali Khan reasons why he lost the bid for the Pune IPL team

Yesterday besides Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor too made a bid for the Pune IPL team but lost to the Sahara group.

Can't win 'em all
But Saif, in his usual style, takes it on the chin. He isn't disappointed that they lost the bid. He views it as just like a business deal and he accepts that no one can't win them all.

Saif says,u00a0 "It is a business proposition that made sense to us at a certain price -- but certainly not at $370 million! And it doesn't make economic sense to us anymore."

Was bidding for the team was because he comes from a "crickey family" or becauseu00a0 it made good business sense? Saif says candidly, "It was bothu2026 we love cricket. And glamour and IPL go together wellu00a0-- but at a certain price only."


Earlier bid...

The duo along with Kareena's sister Karisma Kapoor and her husband Sanjay Kapur and Videocon's Venugopal Dhoot were interested in buying the Pune team.
