Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh were married for 13 years before they separated. They were divorced in 2004. Before that, Sooraj Barjatya had once shared some interesting anecdotes about them while he was shooting for ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai‘. This film starred Saif alongside Karisma Kapoor, Salman Khan, Sonali Bendre, Mohnish Bahl and Tabu. During an interview about ‘HSSH’, Barjatya had spoken about how Saif was not getting a shot right and had to give many retakes because he was not sleeping well at night.
Barjatya explained, “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.”
Hence, the director advised Amrita Singh to give him sleeping pills. “A 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,” revealed Barjatya.
‘Hum Saath Saath Hai’ was a huge hit and the film continues to be memorable over the years! Meanwhile, many years after his divorce with Amrita, Saif is now happily married to Kareena Kapoor Khan.
