Saif Ali Khan, who belongs to the family of Nawabs, has turned 51 today. Saif Ali Khan's father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was a former captain of the Indian cricket team who married actress, Sharmila Tagore. Of the parents, Saif chose mother Sharmila's career and entered the industry. He made his Bollywood debut with Yash Chopra's film Parampara, after which the actor has been a part of films like Aashiq Awara, Pehchan, and Main Khiladi Tu Anari. Saif's early Bollywood career was nothing special, but his personal life has always been in the headlines. Today, on the special occasion of his birthday, let's know some things related to his life-
In the year 1991, Saif was offered Rahul Rawail's film Bekhudi, from which Kajol was also debuting. The actor had also completed the first shooting schedule of this film but upset with his unprofessional attitude, the makers replaced him with Kamal Sadanath.
He met Amrita Singh on the set of the film Bekhudi. At that time Amrita was at the top of her career, and Saif's career knew no bounds. In the first meeting, Saif had become crazy about Amrita. A few days later, he asked Amrita to go for dinner, but the actress flatly refused. Amrita said that she does not go out for dinner but if Saif wants, he can come home. Saif reached home and proposed Amrita in the very first meeting itself. Saif was just 20 years old at that time and Amrita was 12 years older than him.
The age and career gap of both were knocking Saif's family members. Saif, who belonged to the Nawab family, wanted to marry Amrita. The family members wanted Amrita to accept Islam, but she did not agree to it. Meanwhile, Saif went against the family and married Amrita in October 1991. They have two children Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Saif and Amrita divorced in 2004 after 13 years of marriage, after which the custody of the children went to the actress. In the divorce, Amrita had demanded alumni of Rs 5 crore and Rs 1 lakh per month till Ibrahim turned 18. After the divorce, Amrita had alleged that he does not pay her expenses and he has extra-marital affairs with other women.
If reports are to be believed, Saif Ali Khan was in a relationship with Italian model Rosa Catalone during his marriage to Amrita, which led to the breakdown of their marriage. The relationship of both started in the year 2004 and lasted for 4 years. According to reports, Rosa broke up with him in 2007 due to his mood swings.
While Kareena Kapoor was trying to recover from her breakup with Shahid Kapoor, Saif was also leading a single life. Meanwhile, during the shooting of the film Tashan, the closeness between Saif and Kareena started increasing. You will be surprised to know that during Saif's first marriage, Kareena was much younger than him and she also congratulated him on stage at the wedding by calling him Uncle.
