Saif Ali Khan’s first marriage to Amrita Singh had ups and downs. They eventually parted ways on not-so-good note. Karan Johar once made Saif uncomfortable by bringing up his eviction from Amrita’s house in front of Sara Ali Khan.
Karan is known for teasing his celebrity guests by bringing up controversial topics on his show, Koffee With Karan. In 2018, when Sara appeared with Saif, Karan made them feel uncomfortable. While Sara stayed calm, Saif seemed uneasy about the situation.
The conversation began with Karan praising Saif, calling him his ‘lucky mascot,’ as the first episode of Koffee With Karan was filmed on Saif’s birthday, August 16, 2004. However, Karan added an awkward detail, mentioning it was just a day after Saif had been kicked out of his house by his ex-wife, Amrita.
Sara, clearly taken aback, responded by mentioning Independence Day and then humorously wished ‘Happy Independence to both of them.’ She handled the awkward situation about her parents’ difficult separation with grace. Meanwhile, Saif, trying to lighten the mood, called Karan “a slick guy” for bringing up the uncomfortable topic.
In the early 2000s, rumours swirled about the end of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s love marriage, leading to their divorce in 2004. While Amrita remained silent about their personal life, Saif spoke out, expressing his exhaustion from constant arguments and being yelled at. Reports suggest that Saif gave Amrita Rs. 5 crore as alimony to finalize their divorce.
Amrita was twelve years older than Saif, yet they married in a secret ceremony in October 1991. Their relationship had its ups and downs, and they stayed together for nearly a decade before their divorce. Their separation was bitter, and much was written about their turbulent relationship.
