When Saif Ali Khan got into road rage with stranger in Mumbai 

Kamal Sadanah appeared in a podcast with Siddharth Kannan recently wherein he narrated the tales of his friendship with Saif Ali Khan. The actor recalled one particular incident in which the Dil Chahta Hai actor lost his cool while driving in Mumbai as a car took over them. Sadanah remembered Saif fighting with the stranger initially but later laughing the matter off and sharing a hug. 

Sadanah recalled, “Once we (him, Saif and Amrita Singh) were returning from somewhere and I think Saif was driving. There was a car which came from behind and cut us and Saif might have shown some gestures with his hand to him. That random guy got down from the car, Saif got down and they started fighting. Me and Amrita came and sat on the bonnet.” This was the time Saif and Amrita Singh were engaged to be married. The couple ended their marriage in 2004.

Did you know Saif Ali Khan’s friendship with Kamal Sadanah started on a bitter note 

Saif Ali Khan was supposed to make his Bollywood debut in the 1997 film Bekhudi alongside Kajol. However, after shooting for a few days, the director Rahul Rawail deemed him unfit for the role and therefore fired him from the film. Kamal Sadanah was hired in Saif’s place in the movie. This therefore, put a strain on Kamal and Saif’s relationship. However Kamal asserted that despite it they have maintained a cordial relationship and even mentioned that Saif’s sister Saba Pataudi continues to tie him rakhi every year.
