The couple had left no stone unturned to reveal the nastiest secrets about their marital life in public, followed by a dramatic episode of their alimony and custody battle for their kids.

For the unversed, Saif and Amrita were blessed with two kids, Sara and Ibrahim.
Back in the year 1991, right after their hush-hush wedding, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh had made an appearance in Simi Garewal’s show, Rendezvous. While the duo appeared to be quite in love with their picture-perfect marital bliss, nevertheless, there were also some revelations, which hinted at the beginning of some kind of discord between the two. For instance, at one point in their conversation, Amrita mentioned how she was absolutely insecure about Saif working closely with other actresses. Moreover, she went on to add how at times, she fought with him and also wished to bash his head with a frying pan. In her words:
“I would lie if I said I didn’t. I’ve been here. We’ve had our problems, we’ve had our fights. I think it’s normal for a woman to feel insecure. I cried and fought, did normal things that any woman wanted to do. I wanted to bash Saif’s head with a frying pan.”

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."
