Saif Ali Khan was the polar opposite of Amrita who was outspoken and dedicated. There was no denying the couple was diametrically opposed but they couldn't help but fall head over heels in love. From a steamy liplock in public to sharing the same apartment for a long time the couple left no opportunity to admire and flaunt their love in front of everyone.

Two years later, Saif Ali Khan's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan was born.

Amrita gave up her lucrative career to marry and decided to become a homemaker to care for her family and children but despite this, she was unable to save her marriage. Despite the fact that there has been no official confirmation of why Saif and Amrita divorced after 13 years of marriage many blame Saif Ali Khan's affairs and falling out of love with Amrita for their split. It was also speculated that Saif's relationship with Italian dancer and model Rosa Catalano was the cause of his divorce from Amrita.

While Saif fell in love with Kareena and married her Amrita chose to remain single and raise her two children Sara and Ibrahim.

This power couple's wedding celebrations began with a grand sangeet ceremony. Kareena's Bandra home hosted the terrace party. The colour of henna marked the next chapter of the wedding celebration. The Mehendi ceremony was followed by a private dinner for family and friends at Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

Saif Ali Khan's Second Wife - Kareena Kapoor

In an interview Kareena stated. Saif shows his affection for Kareena with the most romantic tattoo. Saif decided to get inked to show his love for Kareena just a year into their relationship.

The tattoo on his forearm spells Kareena's name in Hindi and was widely publicized when it was discovered. Bebo stated in an interview that after dating for a while Saif and she decided to move in together. We'd been dating for a while when he told me he wasn't 25 anymore and couldn't keep dropping me off at home every night. I want to spend the rest of my life with her he told my mother. We'd like to live together. My mother was fine with it.

Best of Saif Ali Khan's Movies

Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

PlayHow can we talk about Saif Ali Khan's films without mentioning our favourite Dil Chahta Hai? Farhan Akhtar's 2001 film is still regarded as one of the best coming-of-age romantic comedies. This film was a success because of its excellent storytelling and outstanding performances.

The story revolves around three close friends and how they deal with love and relationships and stars Saif Ali Khan  Aamir Khan Akshaye Khanna Dimple Kapadia Preity Zinta and Sonali Kulkarni. The fantastic acting touching plot and amazing songs are what make Dil Chahta Hai a great film. Three young men named Akash Sameer and Siddharth are close friends but their tastes and personalities are diametrically opposed. Akash is a carefree individual who does not believe in love. Sameer is always ready for love but he doesn't understand what it really means. Siddharth is the most solemn of the three.

He is sensitive understanding and caring making him the ideal man for any girl. As a result when Siddharth falls in love with a much older woman Tara a woman who has been unsuccessful in keeping her marriage intact as well as an alcoholic widens the rift between the three forcing them to part ways. Years later the trio will be re-united much more mature and understanding but will they still accept Siddharth's love for Tara especially when they themselves have fallen in love with women their own age? They are all convinced that they are now mature men who must think maturely.

Hum Tum (2004)

PlayHum Tum starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee is a lighthearted and fun romantic film that has become one of the most entertaining films to date. The plot revolves around Karan (Saif Ali Khan) and Rhea (Rani Mukherjee) who meet on a plane but end up hating each other.

When their paths cross their hatred transforms into respect then friendship and finally love. The fantastic chemistry between the two actors was unmistakable in this film. Life is not always as it appears in movies. It is not always possible to fall in love at first sight. A relationship often takes many years to develop from boy meets girl to boy gets girl.

Hum Tum is a new take on the eternal battle of the sexes following the lives of Karan (Saif Ali Khan) and Rhea (Rani Mukerji). Karan is a cartoonist and his characters Hum and Tum reflect his take on men and women's strange love-hate relationship. Rhea is sensitive well-bred and self-assured. She can give as good as she gets and isn't afraid to challenge men. At first glance, the two have very little in common.

But as fate would have it their paths continue to cross and their relationship evolves over the course of a decade from hatred to mutual respect friendship and finally - in a cinematic universe that offers simplistic scenarios to the complex relationship between men and women. Hum Tum is a fresh look at every man's and every woman's trials and tribulations as well as their attempts to understand one another.

Omkara (2006)

Vishal Bhardwaj's bold decision to cast an ensemble cast in Omkara an Indian adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello was a brave move. Saif Ali Khan Ajay Devgn Kareena Kapoor Konkona Sen Sharma Vivek Oberoi and Bipasha Basu played the lead roles flawlessly.

In the film, Saif Ali Khan portrayed Langda Tyagi. Saif played an antagonist convincingly in the film and it remains one of the most menacing roles he has played onscreen to this day. The plot revolves around how motivated by ego and jealousy he manipulates Ajay Devgn's character into suspecting his wife of adultery. No one survives the ensuing bloodbath which has tragic consequences all around.

Love Aaj Kal (2009)

Play

Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal which starred Deepika Padukone Saif Ali Khan Rishi Kapoor and Giselli Monteiro was a breath of fresh air. The film alternates between two love stories one set in the present day and one set in 1965. The plot revolves around Jai Vardhan Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera Pandit (Deepika Padukone) who fall in love but eventually split up.

Restaurateur Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor) then tries to persuade Jai to pursue Meera in the same way that he pursued Harleen Kaur in the past. The audience enjoyed this contemporary love story and not only the plot but also the songs in the film. London-based Meera Pandit and Jai Vardhan Singh meet and fall in love and she introduces him to her family.

Soon after they decide to split up; she wants to move to India to restore heritage buildings while he wants to move to America. Restauranteur Veer Singh tries to persuade Jai to pursue her just as he did Harleen Kaur in 1965 India but Jai moves on and falls in love with Caucasian Jo while Meera is set to marry her employer Vikram Joshi.

Cocktail (2012)

Cocktail directed by Homi Adajania and starring Saif Ali Khan Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty is about Meera (Diana Penty) who meets Veronica (Deepika Padukone) at a store after her husband abandons her; Veronica then provides her with shelter.

The two then meet Gautam (Saif Ali Khan) a playboy who begins dating Veronica but quickly falls in love with Meera. Cocktail is a film that beautifully depicts friendship love and relationships. Not only was the chemistry between the cast and their performances fantastic but this film is definitely worth watching in its entirety.

Go Goa Gone (2013)

Play

When the three friends arrive they are invited to a rave party on a remote island; at the party, a drug is consumed and the next morning everything goes horribly wrong. The plot then shifts to the three friends and Boris (Saif Ali Khan) a zombie hunter attempting to save themselves. 

The cast did an excellent job and Saif Ali Khan's accent was spot on. Luv (Vir Das) and Hardik (Kunal Khemu) two friends are going through a rough patch. Luv has discovered that his girlfriend has been cheating on him and Hardik is on the verge of losing his job. They are both in desperate need of a vacation so when their roommate Bunny (Anand Tiwari) informs them that he is going to Goa for a presentation they seize the opportunity.

Jawaani Jaaneman (2020)

Play

The film is directed by Nitin Kakkar and stars Saif Ali Khan Alaya F and Tabu. It is a great film to watch if you want to watch something heartfelt and light.

Vikram Vedha (2022)

Play

Based on their 2017 Tamil film of the same name and also drawing inspiration from the Indian folktale Baital Pachisi Pushkar-2022 Gayathri's Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller Vikram Vedha was written and directed. YNOT Studios Jio Studios Theme Studios T-Series Films Friday Filmworks and Reliance Entertainment all contributed to the production of the movie.

Radhika Apte Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani play supporting parts alongside Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan in the major roles. In it, an honourable police officer sets out to find and assassinate a feared criminal.

Vikram Vedha's production commenced in October 2021 and was completed in June 2022. On September 30 2022 the movie received a worldwide theatre release with rave reviews for the acting and action scenes. Despite having a 175 crore budget the movie only made 129.34 crores globally making it a box office dud.

Adipurush

Play

Adipurush is a captivating 2023 Indian mythological action film that borrows its roots from the grand Hindu epic, Ramayana. A star-studded ensemble featuring Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, and Devdutta Nage, brings this epic tale to life, bringing their characters with complexity and remarkable depth.

The film's release was preceded by an exciting official motion poster in August 2020, and principal photography subsequently began in February 2021 in Mumbai, famously wrapping up in November 2021. The music for the film, which is an integral part of the narrative, is beautifully composed by Ajay–Atul.

Adipurush made significant waves even before its release, due to its staggering budget of between ₹500 crore (US$63 million) and ₹700 crore (US$88 million), making it one of the most expensive Indian films ever produced.

The movie takes the viewer on an epic journey back to a time when celestial creatures and demigods roamed the earth. The narrative focuses on the conflict between the rakshasa (demon) king of Lanka, known as Lankesh, and a warrior prince Raghava from the kingdom of Ayodhya, who later is known as Lord Rama.

Through a series of thrilling events and epic showdowns, the movie follows the journey of Raghava, his wife Janaki, and his brother Shesh as they come to face the demon king, Lankesh. This elaborate narrative is driven by eternal themes of righteousness, courage, redemption, and the triumph of good over evil, the defining principles of the legendary Ramayana.

The film's reception, despite its solid premise and storytelling, was unfortunately mixed. Critics voiced concerns over the screenplay, dialogue, and visuals, leading to its underwhelming performance at the box office. Nevertheless, it stands as an ambitious endeavour to merge mythology and history, showcasing an unmistakable promise in this fledgling genre within the Indian cinematic landscape.

Controversies

The Face of a Love Jihad Campaign: Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan

Inadvertently the Heroine has become the focus of a campaign against 'love jihad' organised by the Durga Vahini the women's wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP). A photo of Kareena's face half-veiled by a niqab that partially obscures the bindi on her forehead was used as the cover image for the Durga Vahini magazine. According to reports the campaign aims to reconvert Hindu women who are married to Muslim men. Kareena and Saif practise different religions and the Durga Vahini is said to have used Kareena's image because "the youth want to emulate celebrities." According to the VHP, the actress is free to sue over the cover photo.

The hotel brawl with Saif Ali Khan

Saif is also allegedly involved in an assault case. He is accused of hitting NRI businessman Iqbal Mir Sharma after an altercation on February 22 2012 at a restaurant in Mumbai's Taj Hotel. In his defence, Saif claims that Mr Sharma was unkind to the women in the actor's dinner party including Kareena her sister Karisma her best friend Amrita Arora and Amrita's sister Malaika Arora Khan. According to Mr Sharma's version of events he objected to the group's raucous chatter after which Saif allegedly threatened him and punched him on the nose fracturing it. Shakeel Ladak Amrita's husband and their friend Bilal Amrohi are also charged in the case.

Dumping Amrita Singh for Rosa

Amrita Singh expressed her dissatisfaction with the break-up and attempted to make a comeback with a television series. She chose to keep the children for obvious reasons. Saif then moved on to his new muse Rosa Catalano an Italian model whose stint in Bollywood was as brief as her affair with the Nawab.

A previous clip of Saif Ali Khan declaring that he can't name his son Ram has gone viral.

In the audio clip, Saif Ali Khan is heard saying I can't name my son Alexander or more likely Ram. So I reasoned Why not raise them with secular ideals in the hopes that they will respect and love one another while maintaining a decent Muslim name?

When Saif Ali Khan's video went viral it quickly spread like wildfire on social media and received negative feedback from online users. They swarmed the comment area of the post and began making disparaging and hateful remarks about the actor.

A user commented Bollywood films are currently being boycotted because of such sentiments. When your movie's release date is approaching it is better to Google How do we respect Indian culture? and the hashtag #BoycottVikramVedha. 

Another person however remarked Khub Kahi!! Nam Ram nahi rakh sakte lekin do do Hindu ladkiyon se shadi kar sakte hai!

Saif Ali Khan Adipurush Controversy

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon as well as director Om Raut were warned to cut contentious parts from the movie Adipurush by the Sarva Brahmin Mahasabha. They claimed in their legal notice that the Hindu deities are depicted in a very distorted form and are speaking in an obscene manner. 

The Ramayana Maa Sita and Lord Hanuman are completely Islamized in this movie. Even Saif Ali Khan who plays Ravana in the Adipurush film shares Taimur and Khilji's appearance. By stirring up religious sentiments in the nation the movie will create animosity toward a specific class. The notification stated This picture is receiving extensive Internet publicity which is wholly detrimental to our culture and nation.
