On Saif Ali Khan’s 54th birthday, we reflect on the journey of an actor who has constantly evolved with time. Born into the iconic Pataudi family, Saif has carved a unique niche in Bollywood with his distinctive blend of charm, wit and versatility. From his early roles in romantic comedies to critically acclaimed performances in films like Omkara and Tanhaji, Saif has showcased his adaptability to various roles. Ever since his debut, he has enjoyed a special appeal, especially among female fans. Today, on his special day, we revisit one of his most bizarre fan encounters!
According to MensXP, Saif spoke about an incident in 1994 when two girls asked him to dance, but he declined their request. What happened next was unexpected. He said that the girls insisted on doing so for a while, after which he and his friends asked them to leave.
“Her boyfriend came and we told him to handle the situation, we don’t want to talk to anyone… He didn’t like it and said, ‘Your face is so beautiful, I will ruin it,'” Saif said.
During a conversation with Neha Dhupia on No Filter Neha, Saif revealed that when he refused to dance with the man’s girlfriend, the man attacked him with a glass of whiskey. Saif explained how, while cleaning his bleeding wound in the bathroom, he attempted to defuse the situation, only to be attacked again by the man with a soap dish. He said that the attacker was dangerous and could have seriously harmed him. The encounter highlighted just how violent bar fights in Delhi can get.
On the work front, Saif Ali Khan is currently shooting for his next film Jewel Thief. Pinkvilla was the first to reveal that Saif is teaming up with Jaideep Ahlawat and Kunal Kapoor for an action-thriller, with Siddharth Anand producing the film under his banner Marflix. He recently wrapped up shooting for a portion of the film in Budapest.
Saif is also gearing up for the release of Telugu film Devraa alongside Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor later this year. Earlier, he appeared as Lankesh in Adipurush co-starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, which will release in 2023.
