Born in West Pakistan, Amrita Singh had made her acting debut with Betaab in 1983 and with her first film only, she had garnered fame and love from the audience. As per a Daily Bhaskar report, Amrita was a belly dancer before she had made her debut in Bollywood. In no time, she became one of the most-sought-after actresses of Bollywood and even today, she is known for her incredible acting, blunt nature and chirpiness. Amrita had left her blooming acting career in the early 90s to be a perfect homemaker post her wedding with Saif Ali Khan in 1991. After 13 years of married life, Amrita and Saif were granted divorce and she made her comeback in 2002.

In 2018, we felt the same energy and charisma on the silver screens when Amrita Singh’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan made her debut in Bollywood with the film, Kedarnath. ‘She got it from her mumma!’ there couldn’t be a better way to describe this mother-daughter duo as one look at Sara will remind you of young Amrita. Sara is like a fresh breath of air and the fun-filled dynamic which is way similar to how Amrita was in her younger days in the industry. Amrita is a doting mother to Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan, who also leave no chance to reciprocate their love for their mother.

Soha Ali Khan had released her first book as an author, The Perils of Being Moderately Famous in 2017 and while her entire family including her amma, Sharmila Tagore, bhai, Saif Ali Khan, sister, Saba Ali Khan, hubby, Kunal Kemmu and sister-in-law, Kareena Kapoor Khan were present to cheer for her at her book launch, her ex-sister-in-law, Amrita Singh wasn’t there. In an interaction with T2 Online, when Soha was asked about Amrita’s absence, she had retorted, "My relationship with my ex-sister-in-law, Amrita Singh, is not as close as it used to be then. And that is not to say that it is a huge controversy or anything. It is just how it is. And it is how it would be with any other family. Which is why she wasn't there at my book launch." Soha had added there’s no bad blood between them but she did agree that sometimes we don’t have control over the circumstances in our life.
Speaking about her relationship with niece and nephew, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan had continued, "I would like to believe that Sara and I are very close. I think she likes me and my perspective on things and we get along very well. Well, as much as it is possible to connect with your 20-something niece, who is embarking on her film career. Ibrahim, to be honest, is a rockstar in his own right." Revealing why Sara and Ibrahim weren’t there at her book launch, Soha had said, "Well, I would have loved to have Sara and Ibrahim at the launch. But unfortunately, neither of them were available at the time. Sara was shooting for Kedarnath, and Ibrahim was in England."
