Throwback to when Amrita Singh revealed her most devastating moment; and it's not split from Saif Ali Khan

Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s marriage grabbed headlines when they got hitched in 1991. The couple had an age gap of 12 years. While she was 33, he was just 21. Later on, Saif Ali Khan would describe his marriage similar to that of an experience like running away from home. It seems he informed his mother, actress Sharmila Tagore only after he got married to her. The couple got divorced in 2004. The separation was not an amicable one. Amrita Singh resumed acting on TV shows to support the children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.

A throwback interview has gone viral where Pooja Bedi asks her if her separation was the toughest part of her life. The actress said it did not cause as much heartbreak as the death of her mom, Rukhsana Sultana. Amrita Singh said she grew up in a broken home, and her mother was the only friend she had in her life. She was her pillar of strength. So, the demise of her mom was the biggest tragedy in her life. Her late mother was a prominent figure in Indian politics and close aid of late Sanjay Gandhi. Her character is also mentioned in Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency.

Then, she said that Ibrahim Ali Khan was very sick when he was an infant. She said seeing her baby boy suffer was incredibly heart-breaking. In that context, the separation from Saif Ali Khan was quite low on the list. Redditors said that divorces are usually planned out, so people know how to deal with them. They also applauded her for being a source of strength to her children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. We know that Sara and Amrita are like friends. The actress is deeply connected to her mother’s Punjabi roots.
