Amrita Singh Was Going Through Her Divorce When She Was Offered A Male-Dominating Character In Kalyug
New Delhi: Mohit Suri, who launched newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in his latest film Saiyaara, talked about how he cast Amrita Singh in a scene-stealing role for his second film Kalyug. During a conversation with Radio Nasha, Mohit Suri shared Amrita Singh was going through her divorce when she was approached for the film. What's Happening Mohit Suri shared vivid details of his first encounter with Amrita Singh. She was going through her divorce back then. But as an artist, she had the equal zeal of trying something new, revealed the director. "I remember Kunal Deshmukh and I went to meet Amrita ma'am. She was shooting for Kavyanjali at the time, so we went to the set to meet her. I narrated the story to her, saying I wanted her to play a character who dominated a male-dominated industry, a very strong female character. But while watching her, as I was narrating, I was subconsciously thinking something," recalled Mohit Suri. "And after finishing the narration, she said, 'Yeah, I'll do it.' Then Kunal and I left. But on the way back, I told Kunal to immediately turn the car around, saying we made a mistake and needed to go back. We returned, and I told her, 'We made a mistake, ma'am. You be exactly who you are, we want you just like that.' She said, 'Yes, I was thinking the same, that who can dominate me? I am already dominating.' And I said, 'Yes, yes, we want you exactly as you are,'" said Mohit Suri. Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh's Divorce Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's divorce made as much noise as their wedding. Talking about their disagreements, Saif Ali Khan had told The Telegraph back then, "It isn't nice to be constantly reminded of how worthless you are and to have taunts, jeers, insults, and abuses thrown at your mother and sister all the time. I've gone through all of it." Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh got married in 1991. Their daughter Sara Ali Khan was born on 12 August 1995, and their son Ibrahim Ali Khan Pataudi on 5 March 2001.

Sara Ali Khan Recalls Lying To Amrita Singh About Local Train Ride: 'Got Caught by A Journalist'
Sara Ali Khan recalls hiding her Mumbai local train ride from mom Amrita Singh, who later found out from a journalist. 'She was really upset,' the actress says. Sara Ali Khan has never shied away from expressing how close she is to her mother, veteran actor Amrita Singh. But like most teenagers, she too had her fair share of rebellious moments. In a recent appearance on BookMyShow Unscripted with RJ Sukriti, Sara opened up about one such incident when she lied to her mother — and got caught in a rather unexpected way. The Metro… In Dino actor recalled sneaking a ride on a Mumbai local train without informing her mom. 'I actually have. I lied to my mom about it though. This was years ago. She didn't know that I was on a local train, so I pretended I was at a neighbour's house," she said. What made things worse was how Amrita Singh found out — not from Sara, but from a journalist. 'A journalist actually called her and told her that I am so proud of the way you have brought up your daughter. I have a photo of her on a local train, can I print it?" Sara recounted. Naturally, Amrita was furious — not because of the ride itself, but because she had kept it a secret. 'She was really upset because I was young and there had just been an accident on the local train. She told me to be careful and just basically not lie about my location," Sara said, calling the memory 'not fun." Sara also opened up in a past interview with Hindustan Times about how negativity on social media affects her mother. 'I can fully understand that this is some nameless, frustrated person. But maa toh maa hoti hai. That's the only thing that really gets to me. If I could block her social media, I wouldn't give a damn!" 'She reads and pretends there is nothing," Sara added. 'It's like the elephant in the room we don't address. But, I know she has read something sad. She doesn't address it, but I can see it on her face. Mujhe acha nahi lagta." Sara is currently basking in the release of Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu. The ensemble film features a powerhouse cast including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and others. The film hit theatres on July 4.
