KWK 8: Sharmila Tagore recalls Saif Ali Khan's unharmonious split with Amrita Singh, says, ‘That stage was not nice’

The dynamic and royal mother-son duo Sharmila Tagore and Saif Ali Khan graced the latest episode of Koffee With Karan season 8. It was filled with love, laughter, and genuine mother-son bonding, leaving the audience charmed as they got candid in their element. While they shared warm memories of the royal family, the duo also recalled the first marriage of Saif with actress Amrita Singh and their unharmonious separation. “When you are together for such a long time and you have such lovely children, then no break up is easy. Then it is not harmonious… I know it is difficult to have harmony at that stage, everybody is hurt… so that stage was not nice, but I tried. But that’s water under the bridge, she needed time to cool down,” said Tagore.

She also said that it was not a happy time for the family as they not only lost Amrita but also Saif’s kids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Later, Sara, Soha Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor also shared their heartfelt messages for Saif and Sharmila. The _Laal Singh Chaddha_ actress shared insider details about her endearing relationship with Saif Ali Khan. “I’ve called her amma from the time I met Saifu because I feel that genuine connection with her. She’s so warm and caring. She looks at me like a daughter,” confesses Kareena about her bond with the iconic Sharmila Tagore. Recalling the first time she encountered Saif, Bebo said, “My favourite memory will always be the first time I met Saif. We were shooting in Ladakh, and he was sitting shirtless on top of the vanity van.” Drawing parallels with her legendary mother, Soha Ali Khan expressed, “Wonderful to see how much I’m becoming my mother.” Soha even calls Saif, “charming, irreverent and just unique.”
