Amrita Singh’s name was changed to ‘Aziza’?

Amrita Singh’s name was changed to ‘Aziza’? Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla recall her nikaah with Saif Ali Khan: ‘We signed as witnesses’

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, once one of Bollywood’s most admired couples, got married in 1991. The duo had met during the filming of ‘Bekhudi’ and, after a brief romance, decided to tie the knot. They welcomed two children, Sara in 1995 and Ibrahim in 2001, before eventually parting ways in 2004, ending their 13-year marriage.

Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla recall Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh’s wedding

Designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, who witnessed the wedding, recalled the impromptu ceremony. Speaking to Namrata Zakaria on her YouTube channel, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla said, “We signed as witnesses at their nikaahnama. One fine day, they came to us and said, ‘We want to get married now!’ It was Saif; Dingy (Amrita Singh) was still undecided. They were in love, and he was living with her; it must have been six or eight months. He was ready for it, she was yes-no, yes-no. We lived in one room at the time. We went to a friend of ours, and she offered to host it. She was a single person, living by herself in a beautiful apartment. Abu and I were dressing up Dingy, and we called a maulvi, of course.”

Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh’s wedding included maulvi and sikh pandit

The designer duo further added, “There was also a sardarji pandit sitting there. She got ready in whatever fit her, because there was no time… Fortunately, from her mother, she got some fantastic jewellery. Saif wore a bandhgala. Then, the maulvi said, ‘What is your name? Your name has to start with A.’ All four of us started looking at each other, and the pandit says, ‘Aziza’. That was a runaway bride, it was insane. Driving back, her mother called her… Eventually, they took it in their stride.”

Saif Ali Khan recalled first evening at her house

In an earlier appearance on ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’, Saif shared how their relationship began. “By the end of the evening, we kissed each other. I never left her house after that dinner. I used to sleep in another room.”Amrita Singh added, “He spent two days at my place, but had to leave for a shoot. The first thing he did was ask me for Rs. 100 because he had no money. So, I offered him my car. But Saif said the production car was waiting for him, so he didn’t need mine.”

Couple eventually parted ways
