Saif Ali Khan was made to feel ‘worthless’ by ex-wife Amrita Singh, wasn’t allowed to meet his kids: ‘Insults, abuses thrown at my mother and sister’

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh were married for 13 years before they separated on acrimonious terms. The two are parents to Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.

Saif Ali Khan was just 21 years old when he married the 27-year-old actor Amrita Singh in 1991. Their marriage lasted 13 years and ended with a rather unpleasant divorce. Soon after their separation, Saif opened up about the alimony that he was being made to pay her for child support. He said that all of his earnings were being sent to his children, and claimed that he’d been removed from his house, which was being occupied by Amrita and her relatives.

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2005, Saif said that he was supposed to give Rs 5 crore to Amrita, half of which he had already cleared. “I’m supposed to give Amrita Rs 5 crore, of which I’ve already given her approximately Rs 2.5 crore. Also, I’m paying Rs 1 lakh per month until my son becomes 18. I’m not Shah Rukh Khan. I don’t have that kind of money. I’ve promised her I’ll pay up the rest of the money, and I will, even if I’ve to slog till I drop dead. Whatever I’ve earned from doing ads, stage shows and films is being given for my children. I’ve no money. Our bungalow is for Amrita and the kids, and never mind the relatives who’ve joined her after my departure,” he shared.
