The story of Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan, though they separated years ago, remains as captivating as any film plot. Their journey, marked by ups and downs, and the anecdote of their first encounter could easily rival a cinematic narrative. Although their initial meeting took place on the set of Saif’s debut film, fate would later lead him on a different path, a path that inevitably involved Amrita. This tale spans over three decades.
The First Meeting of Saif and Amrita
Amidst the footsteps of Amrita’s mother, Sharmila Tagore, Saif made the decision to venture into acting. After facing several struggles, he secured a role in the film “Bekhudi,” starring alongside Rahul Rawail. It was during a photoshoot for this film that Saif first laid eyes on Amrita. While Amrita wasn’t the film’s lead actress, she was Rahul Rawail’s friend and had been invited to the set. As fate would have it, Saif was smitten the moment he saw Amrita, unable to take his eyes off her. This encounter marked the beginning of their dating journey.
Love Takes Center Stage
Rumors have it that once their love story began, Saif became so infatuated with Amrita that he paid more attention to her than the film itself. Allegedly, he would arrive on set late due to his preoccupation with thoughts of Amrita. Eventually, despite the film’s first schedule not being completed, Rahul Rawail decided to replace Saif, leading to his exit from the project. The film was eventually completed with Kamal Sadanah. Following this setback, Saif embarked on his acting debut two years later, continuing the family tradition.
The tale of Saif and Amrita stands as a testament to the unpredictability of fate and the enduring power of love. While their paths diverged in the world of cinema, their story continues to capture the imagination, weaving a narrative that intertwines romance, struggle, and destiny.
