Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's love story

The Times of India

From a thirteen year long marriage to Amrita Singh, a short term affair with Swiss model Rosa and a dream wedding with the hottest Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, Saif is undoubtedly one of the most romantic persons from the film fraternity. While his 'affair' with Kareena is one of the worst kept secrets ever, very little is known when it comes to his love story with Amrita Singh.

In a candid chat with Simi Garewal on her chat show years ago, Saif and Amrita (Saif's first wife and former actress) had once spilled the beans on their steaming first date too. Saif and Amrita met for the first time on the sets of Rahul Rawail's film which starred Saif and Kajol in lead roles. While Amrita was completely oblivious to the fact that she had made Saif skip a beat, Saif immediately felt some sort of instant connection to the actress. After a couple of days, Saif called up Amrita asking if she would like to go out with him for dinner, where Amrita sternly refused saying, "I don't go out for dinners." But before Saif could digest her refusal she came up with another line, "I don't go out for dinners but you can come over to my place for dinner."

Saif's joy knew no bounds and he reached her place on time. Saif always felt that though Amrita portrayed a very firm exterior, on the inside she was a really wonderful person. The dinner ranged from professional to personal conversation and though Saif stressed on the fact that he only had one idea in mind and that was to 'have a nice time with a very nice person'. But somehow towards the end of the night, they ended up kissing each other. Not only that, Saif even professed his feelings towards her the very same night and Amrita gladly reciprocated. As Saif likes to put it, 'he never left her house after that'.

Amrita even confessed in her interview that she instantly grew extremely fond of Saif and used to be perturbed even at the thought of losing him. Soon after this steamy encounter Saif and Amrita tied the knot. Their marriage lasted for almost 13 years after which the couple decided to part ways. Together they are proud parents of daughter Sara Ali Khan and son Ibrahim. Saif tied the knot with Kareena Kapoor in 2012.

What came as a pleasant surprise at Saif and Kareena's wedding was the presence of Sara and Ibrahim. While Sara and Ibrahim stay with their mother Amrita Singh, they share a very friendly equation with Kareena. On a chat show Kareena spoke about her equation with Sara and Ibrahim. "It's pretty amazing, they have a wonderful mother. They are the most well brought up children. I always remember Sara standing up and doing adab. Both Sara and Ibrahim are like that. I am like a friend for them. At times me and Sara chat over a glass of champagne. That's the way Saif wanted and that's the way I wanted it," she said.
