In 1991, Saif Ali Khan married actress Amrita Singh, who was 10 years older than him. The entire Pataudi family was against this marriage, but everyone bowed down to Saif, and Amrita was accepted. When these things came to Sharmila Tagore's notice for the first time, she herself told about her reaction.

Saif Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore appeared on an episode of Karan Johar's chat show 'Koffee with Karan 8'. Sharmila spoke openly about Saif and Amrita's relationship and also shared her reaction at that time.

In Coffee with Karan Season 8, Sharmila Tagore narrated an anecdote about Saif and Amrita Singh's marriage. Sharmila Tagore said that when she came to know that Saif wanted to marry Amrita. When Sharmila went to stop Saif, Saif told her that he had already got married a day before and hearing this, Sharmila's eyes were filled with tears. She said that this was not right and she was very hurt. It is said that the Pataudi family was against Saif and Amrita's marriage because Amrita was about 10 years older than Saif.

When Karan asked Saif Ali Khan that why did you marry despite everyone's refusal? Saif replied that he was 20-21 years old at that time and he was enjoying doing all this. He thought he would get married, make a family and everything would be fine. He liked Amrita, but then when responsibility came upon him at a young age, he got a little scared.

Saif said that Amrita and he raised the children even after the divorce. He never allowed the children to have any negative feelings towards him. Saif told that there were many ups and downs in their relationship, due to which the whole family was upset. Both got separated and the children also went away from home. Saif also mentioned that when he and Kareena were getting married, Amrita explained to the children, then they were able to accept Kareena.
