Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan made his acting debut with the film, Parampara in 1993. Over the years, he worked in many films, including Hum Tum, Tara Rum Pum, Agent Vinod, Phantom, and Rangoon, among others. Saif holds a massive fan following and keeps garnering praise for his performances in the films. However, there was a phase in his life when his personal problems started impacting his shoot.

Saif Ali Khan faced troubles in personal life which affected his shoot

In an old interview, director, Sooraj Barjatya opened up about an anecdote from the shooting of the film, Hum Saath Saath Hai and revealed that Saif Ali Khan was always stressed at that time. He recalled how the actor was taking many retakes during the shooting of the song, Suno ji Dulhan, as he was not sleeping all night. Sooraj said:

“Saif Ali Khan’s personal life had a lot of ups and downs during the shooting of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai’. So he was always under tension. There is an anecdote about the time of the song ‘Suno ji Dulhan’ in the film. Saif Ali Khan was taking many retakes during the shooting of this song. He was not sleeping all night, thinking about how to portray the character in a good way. I came to know this when I talked to his first wife.”

Amrita Singh gave Saif sleeping pills without his knowledge

Sooraj Barjatya further stated that Saif Ali Khan’s first wife, Amrita Singh, was advised that she should give sleeping pills to her then-husband. Amrita did the same without Saif’s knowledge, due to which the latter was able to shoot the song the next day. The director revealed:

“As he was not sleeping through the night, I gave Amrita a piece of advice. Amrita was advised to give him sleeping pills without Saif’s knowledge. She gave him sleeping pills without his knowledge. So many of his scenes were arranged the next day. He did it. The song gave a very good shot in one take. Everyone was shocked as he gave a very good shot.”

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s relationship

Saif Ali Khan got married to Amrita Singh in October 1991, and the duo welcomed two children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saif was just 20 years old when he tied the knot with Amrita, who was 12 years older than him. However, they got separated in 2004. Talking about his equation with his ex-wife, Amrita post-divorce, Saif said that he shares a very good relationship with her and always respects her.
