It's apparently the whispering wave of the month. Saif Ali Khan is supposedly miffed with Karan Johar for offering Amrita Singh a role in his next film.
Karan Johar laughs the rumour off. "Though she's a very dear friend of mine and I'd love to work with her, I've offered Amrita no role in Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna. Sections of the media that have no access to me love to live in a makebelieve world. You know what the cast is… Amrita never fitted in anywhere into the plot. So there's absolutely no truth to this. Both Amrita and Saif are my dear friends. I've worked with Saif during Kal Ho Na Ho. And we had a great time. I hope to work with Amrita some day. Why not? She's a wonderful actress."
Saif on his part is amazed by the "sheer falsity" of the story. "Why on earth would I have objections to Amrita working with Karan, of all people? If she must work she might as well work with the top brass. And Karan's set-up is ideal for any actor. I enjoyed working with Karan and Shah Rukh in Kal Ho Na Ho. Why wouldn't I want Amrita to work with that production house?
"Karan is her friend first. She introduced me to him. Having said this, I must say it was the gossip magazines that informed me about Amrita's project with Karan. I must say they're better informed than me. And the only reason they write rubbish about me and my family is because I don't talk to them."
The fact of the matter is, there're people constantly trying to rip the mended seams between Saif and Amrita apart… And Saif is resentful. "I don't want such misunderstandings to create a bigger wall between the two of us. If Amrita and I suffer, the children suffer. I don't want that. When I spoke about my agony regarding the unsure status between me and my children, my intention wasn't to hurt Amrita at all. I want things between us to improve."
In the latest development Amrita has now agreed to let Saif meet the children, though not in his house but hers. "That's fine for now, perhaps more than I deserve. As long as I get to meet my kids, there's nothing more I want right now." Saif gets terribly emotional.
i hope karan johar takes nitya in his film..atleast KA will get a break from her then😛 I hope karan johar makes his film soon...coz he's made us wait for ages already🤢
