Saif Ali Khan has been married twice. His first marriage was to actress Amrita Singh in 1991 and then to Kareena Kapoor in 2012.
Saif Ali Khan shocked everyone when he secretly tied the knot with actress Amrita Singh in 1991 after a whirlwind romance. But, the twist? Even his mother, Sharmila Tagore, only found out after the wedding. The hush-hush marriage didn't just surprise the family — it reportedly threw Amrita off too. Rumour has it, the sudden wedding drama led to a meltdown on the very first day of shooting for her 1992 film Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman.
Aziz Mirza said the rumours weren't true and that nothing unusual happened on set. He mentioned there was no panic, and Saif Ali Khan even visited during the shoot. He recounted in a chat with Radio Nasha, 'Nahi, kuchh nahi hua (No, nothing happened). I don't think there was any panic. Saif used to come to set. Mashallah, he did very well in life, he was thrown out of a film, by I think, HS Rawail. He came to RK Studio and said, 'I've been fired from the film,' because he turned up late or something."
Mirza spoke highly of Saif, saying he's a nice guy who worked hard, made a name for himself, and did well in many films. 'He's a lovely chap. He's made his own career, he's excellent. He did a lot of good work in a lot of films," he said.
Saif Ali Khan, son of actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, started his Bollywood career in 1993 with the film Parampara. His early years in the industry were tough—he was dropped from films and struggled to find success. Things slowly turned around with movies like Yeh Dillagi and Main Khiladi Tu Anari. His big breakthrough came with Dil Chahta Hai and Hum Tum, where audiences appreciated his comic timing and charm. Over time, Saif proved himself as a serious actor with roles in Omkara, Parineeta, and the web series Sacred Games.
Saif Ali Khan has been married twice. His first marriage was to actress Amrita Singh in 1991, when he was just 21 and she was 12 years older. The couple had two children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, before separating in 2004 after 13 years of marriage. In 2012, Saif married actress Kareena Kapoor after several years of dating. Their wedding was a much-talked-about event in Bollywood. Together, Saif and Kareena have two sons, Taimur and Jeh,
