Deepak further stated that his quote was published stating Amrita had stopped Saif from going to the premiere. He added that Amrita is a wonderful woman and has always supported every actor. He added that they made the quote look 'ghatiya'. He said:
"This was my quote. But it was published that Amrita stopped Saif from going to the premiere. I never said that. Amrita was only amazed to see the bond between Saif and other actors. In her time, they used to not help each other. Amrita is a sweetheart and a wonderful woman. She has always been supportive of everybody as an actor. I have not worked with her. However, for us, her debut film Betaab (1983) was the ultimate film. I must have seen it a hundred times. Itna ghatiya quote bana diya hai. I wake up and I get pained when I see the news stories. I never said that.”
There was a time when Saif and Amrita were madly in love, so much so that, they decided to elope and get married. In October 1991, Saif and Amrita tied the knot, and their families knew nothing about it. Later, the couple welcomed two children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
