From what started with an unexpected phone call and a steamy fiery lip lock ending with a 13-year-long marriage and two kids, the love story of this quintessential Punjabi kudi and Nawab became the talk of the town in the 90s. The once much-in-love couple, Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan called it quits after 13 years of marital bliss, after which, Amrita moved on in her life with their two kids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Khan, and Saif went on to marry Kareena Kapoor.

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s divorce makes it to the headlines every now and then. And especially now, when their daughter Sara Ali Khan has made her Bollywood debut, she faces questions related to her parents’ divorce in most of the interviews she attend. In one such interview, Sara expressed a sense of happiness post her parent’s separation and that she has two homes now. Sharing how she feels that her parents are a lot happier individually, Sara stated, “It is not nice to live in a home where people are not happy. They are both, happy, bindaas and cool people, but individually. Together, they are not. And I think they too realized that. Fortunately, now I have two happy and secure homes to myself instead of one.”
Revealing how her mother was very supportive of Sara and Ibrahim attending their father, Saif's second marriage. Sara was quoted as saying, "When dad told me they're getting married, I ran to mom asking what will I wear. Mom was so supportive that she was obsessing on what earrings I should wear."
When asked if she will ever collaborate with her father and mother on-screen, Sara in a surprising comment said that while the idea to work with her father is still thinkable, it is a 'wrong thing' to work with her mom. Sara said, "You know, especially because he's my father I don't think that it's something that we can keep doing. I think it'll have to be one special film."
When asked specifically about her mother Amrita, Sara retorted, "Arey, arey what fun..! Even though I don't think she will work with me. My father might but I don't think she will. I think she will be looking at me in a shot and be like eyebrows, dab...because she is mom! So, I think it'll be like the worst thing for her to work with me and probably the best thing for me to work with her. So, she won't do it (laughs)."

Speaking about the weirdest thing a fan has asked her, Sara recalled the time when a fan called Kareena Kapoor Khan her mother. Sara reminisced, “A person came up to me and said I shot with your mother Kareena and I was like.. is it normal to talk like that? I was really confused.”
Even on Koffee With Karan, Sara opened up about having two happy homes instead of one unhappy home. She had stated, “They would have been very unhappy together had they stick together. They took the right decision and now, everyone's happy. I'm happy, abba is happy, mumma is happy, and Kareena is happy. I have two comfortable homes now, rather than having an uncomfortable home.”
On the same show, Saif revealed that before his marriage to Kareena, he wrote a letter to his first wife Amrita on his wedding day. He had shared, “When I was getting married to Kareena, for some reason, I wrote a note to Amrita saying this is a new chapter starting. I wrote we had a history and something on the lines of good wishes for both of us. I sent it to Kareena to take a look. I sent it across. Sara called me and said, ‘I was coming anyway but now, I am coming with a happy heart.’ I think that story sums up the attitude of everyone involved.” (Also Read: Sara Ali Khan Reveals How She Is Responsible For Saif Ali Khan And Kareena Kapoor Khan's Marriage)
