Irresponsible Saif Ali Khan wouldn’t turn up on set

Irresponsible Saif Ali Khan wouldn’t turn up on set

When Saif Ali Khan was to make his debut in the movies in the early 1990s, the film industry was quite keen to take him on. However, the actor was fired from his debut film Bekhudi, which also starred Kajol. Saif later made his debut with Parampara, but the baggage of Bekhudi followed him around for a while. The actor has previously said that director Rahul Rawail fired him from the film because of a condition – break up with his girlfriend or do the film. Saif had then said that he chose to leave the film. However, more than three decades later, Rahul has shared his side of the story. He revealed that he fired Saif because the newcomer was ‘irresponsible’ and wouldn’t show up for the shoot. The director also spoke about Kumar Gaurav’s debut film Love Story, which was ghost directed by him, and said that it was actor Rajendra Kumar who ruined his son’s career. Excerpts: Rahul, it’s 45 years of your blockbuster Love Story, why didn’t you take credit as …

Saif Ali Khan was ‘worried’ about kids Sara and Ibrahim’s Islamic roots after divorce with Amrita Singh: ‘Never compelled her to convert’ | Bollywood News

Even after years of parting ways, Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s love story and marriage remains a topic of discussion among their fans. The fact that their 12-year age gap caught eyeballs — with Saif being 12 years younger than the Naam actor — was considered an anomaly at the time. Not just that, their different religious identities were also questioned. Amrita was born to a Muslim socialite mother, Rukhsana Sultana, and a Punjabi Jat Sikh father, an army officer named Shivinder Singh Virk, while Saif Ali Khan came from the royal Pataudi family. While Saif’s mother and veteran actor Sharmila Tagore had converted to Islam after marrying his father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, in an old interaction, the Dil Chahta Hai actor admitted that he never forced his first wife to convert to Islam. But what actually happened on their nikaah day, and how their different religious identities confused their daughter Sara Ali Khan, is something that still intrigues many. Let’s find out. Saif came to Amrita’s house for dinner date, never left …

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Saif shared that he did not mind dancing at weddings when he was younger.

He said, “I was dancing at a wedding once in Bombay and my aunt, my father’s sister, who is quite a regal lady, came backstage, and said, ‘Don’t tell me you are dancing at this wedding’. …

Saif Ali Khan says he’s still ‘frightened’ by the thought of being ‘bedridden forever’ after knife attack: ‘Had lost feeling in my leg’ | Bollywood News

Earlier this year, a frightening incident unfolded at Saif Ali Khan’s residence when an intruder broke into the house. The situation escalated when the actor confronted the intruder, leading to a violent struggle in which Saif sustained multiple injuries, including wounds to his neck and spine. Fortunately, he survived and made a swift recovery. Now, Saif has opened up about surviving the knife attack in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India. Reflecting on how close the incident came to altering his life permanently, he said, “I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have gotten away with it the way I did, because it was very close. There was a nick to my spinal cord, and that could have led to paralysis, because I had lost feeling in my leg for a while. And that concept of being bedridden forever, or being paralysed, is frightening, and still frightens me. So I don’t know if that means I’ve changed, but I’m appreciative that I am healthy, and that keeps me grateful.” He further added that he …

‘Saif Ali Khan, who?’: Shah Rukh Khan ‘lashed’ out when he was told Saif could replace him in Yes Boss, decided to walk out of the film | Bollywood News

Shah Rukh Khan was starting to gain a foothold in the Hindi film industry in the 1990s and one of his earliest successes, Baazigar, produced by Ratan Jain, put him on the map. This film started a solid partnership between the actor and producer as they then collaborated on Yes Boss, Badshah and Josh, and later, Jain was even a co-producer on Main Hoon Na. However, there was a time, just before the filming of Yes Boss, when tensions ran so high that Shah Rukh vowed to never work with him again. Ratan recalled the altercation in a recent conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh and shared that the incident happened when he, and director Aziz Mirza, were trying to sign SRK for Yes Boss. “Aziz said if Shah Rukh doesn’t want to do the film, we will make it with somebody else. And while talking to Shah Rukh, I ended up saying, ‘If you don’t want to do it, I will make it with Saif.’ That was a huge mistake, I don’t know how it slipped …

In a recent chat with his Jewel Thief co-star Jaideep Ahlawat, Saif shared that Taimur is doing a school play, but isn’t the biggest fan of memorising dialogues. To Taimur’s surprise, however, people praised his efforts even though he wasn’t interested in performing before a crowd. In a video shared on Netflix India’s YouTube channel, Saif said, “Taimur is doing a school play, and he said, ‘Mujhe bahut darr lagta hai, Abba, logo ke saamne.

I don’t know how you learned these lines’.” Jaideep then asked Saif how Taimur deals with the fame that he attracts as a son of major movie stars, and Saif shared that Taimur …
