Saba Ali Khan recalls Amrita Singh’s guidance and their cordial relationship
Saba Ali Khan says Amrita Singh guided her like an elder sister when Saba was growing up.
Saba is the sister of actor Saif Ali Khan, who married Singh in 1991, when Saba was 15.
Singh gave her advice and corrected her fashion choices in a way Saba found easier to accept than criticism from her own strict mother.
Their relationship became less close after the couple separated in 2004, and Saba said Singh may have wanted distance and time to herself.
They remain cordial and greet each other warmly when they meet, with no hard feelings between them.
Saba also said she enjoys seeing Singh and Saif’s children, Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Saba now rarely joins Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan at film events, because they themselves do not often attend parties or premieres.

What people are saying
I found her to be very sorted. I liked her. I was fine with her. I love Bebo. That’s clear. My loyalties are exactly where they are meant to be. But she (Amrita) was good with me too. She has given me a lot of direction where my mother might be criticising me, but she would say the same thing in an older sister manner,
She was a motherly figure in a nicer approachable manner than my own mother back then, who was very strict.
If she ever meets me, that’s something she always has to check. And I kind of dress up appropriately before meeting her, because she be like why is your bag blue and dress pink? She always corrected me so I knew better,
