‘Dharam sankat'- When Saif Ali Khan was forced to leave a movie for girlfriend Watch

Saif Ali Khan is the son of Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi. Since Sharmila was a big Bollywood actress during the 1960s and 1970s, many believe that it was quite easy for her son Saif Ali Khan to get movies in Bollywood. Being a star kid, it is expected that he had good access to most of the leading production houses, including big banners like YRF, with whom Sharmila Tagore worked in a movie titled Daag.

While it does seem that Saif Ali Khan had it easy getting introduced to big names in Bollywood he did not get the movies easily and this star kid had his struggle and journey in Bollywood.

When Saif Ali Khan had to leave a movie on moral grounds

An old video from the younger days of the Race actor recently resurfaced on the web. It shows Saif saying he had to leave his Bollywood debut movie on moral grounds. He even seemed to mock the struggle of outsiders sharply. The video clip shows him saying, “Jyada tar log kehete hai struggle. Matlab struggle ka matlab kya hota hai. Ki autorickshaw mein baitho aur dus chakkare kato. Aur kisi ki office mein acchi, jaise ki ye (showing the sofa he was sitting on) sofe pe baitho aap teen ghante ke liye. Isse struggle kehte hai.”

None of the nepo kid struggled the way Saif Ali Khan did .. 😄

“Meri struggle bhi thi lekin alag thi. Muzhe toh pehli film se nikal diya gaya kyunki mere director saab ne bola ki you leave your girlfriend or you do the film. It is a moral choice. How do you say a moral choice in Hindi? It's pretty dramatic. Dharam sankat. Ya.” Many fans believe that it was the movie Bekhudi that was released in 1992 with Kajol in the lead.

However, just a year later he made his Bollywood movie in a grand way under the banner of YRF with Parampara. Although the movie did not do well at that time, Saif Ali Khan got to work with some big names from the Bollywood film industry including Vinod Khanna and Sunil Dutt.
