When stars tie the knot

Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh (married 1991)

His famous surname was Saif's only calling card when he married Amrita Singh in 1991. He was 21; she was 33. It had been a sudden courtship -- she had forgotten her keys in his car; he came to return them and then began an association ending up in wedlock.

Few people expected their marriage to last the year. The naysayers, however, were proved wrong as the marriage enjoyed its highs, lasting for over a decade before it eventually disintegrated.

After Saif became a star with Yeh Dillagi and Main Khiladi Tu Anari in 1994, Amrita's career took a backseat. She became involved in rearing their two children Sara and Ibrahim and was by his side through his low phase in the late 1990s.

The couple never really revealed the reason but surprised everyone in 2004 by splitting after 13 years of togetherness.

Saif, now one of Bollywood's most sought after actors, has since begun a relationship with Italian-born Rosa, while Amrita has resumed her acting career with film and television roles.
