The love story of famous celebrity couple Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh makes for a perfect material for a fairytale romance. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh tied the knot in October 1991 in a secret ceremony that was attended only by close friends. There marriage made news all over the country as Amrita is five years older than Saif. Their marriage ceremony was a low key affair as Saif`s parents did not approve of it. The two have a daughter named Sara and a son named Ibrahim.
Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh met at a party and Amrita Singh, who was an established leading lady in the film industry at that time, invited him home and told him to get his own bottle of Scotch. The cupid struck the two that night and as Saif famously said, "I never left.``
Saif Ali Khan was born on 16th August 1970 to two of India`s most noted personalities of the time, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former captain of Indian cricket team, and erstwhile actress Sharmila Tagore. On growing up, Saif had two career options open for him, one being an actor and other being a cricketer. He opted to try his luck in Bollywood and debuted with Aashiq Awara in the year 1993.
