Saif Ali Khan married Amrita Singh in 1991 and they had two kids, Sara and Ibrahim. After 13 years, they divorced, and Saif reportedly paid Rs 5 crore in alimony and Rs 1 lakh per month until his son turned 18. In a throwback interview, he admitted the financial burden, saying he wasn’t as wealthy as Shah Rukh Khan.‘I Am Not Shah Rukh Khan’Shah Rukh Khan may be a self-made billionaire, but Saif Ali Khan once admitted that his financial situation was far from similar. Shortly after his separation from Amrita, Saif spoke about the financial strain of their divorce. In a 2005 interview, he revealed that he was required to pay Rs 5 crore in alimony—half of which had already been settled—along with a monthly allowance of Rs 1 lakh until his son turned 18. Reflecting on the burden, Saif noted that unlike Shah Rukh, he didn’t have that kind of wealth.Working Tirelessly for His KidsHe went on to share that he had committed to paying the remaining amount, even if it meant working tirelessly to fulfill it. He revealed that all his earnings from films, endorsements, and stage shows were being directed towards his children’s well-being. At the time, he said he had little money left for himself and added that their family bungalow was meant for Amrita and the kids—regardless of other relatives who had moved in after he left.Moving On with LifeCut to today—both Saif and Amrita have moved on with their lives. Saif tied the knot with Kareena Kapoor in 2012, while Amrita chose to remain single. She’s frequently seen in her children Sara and Ibrahim’s social media posts, suggesting she’s content and fulfilled with how life has unfolded.
